TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #7

Larz: maybe you could go to the doctors and get a blood test, just to put your mind at ease.

Tutmae - I'm going for a blood test this afternoon, will it be accurate???

[tutmae]

Hey girls! Just got back from the doctors. The good news is that I am ovulationg (in fact my bloods indicate that I ovulated sometime at the start of last week). The bad news is that I do indee have pcos. The doc didn't seem too concerned, as I managed to get pregnant before with undiagnosed pcos so everything is obviously working. She said that if I am not pg in the next couple of months then she'll look at putting me on mentaformin (sp?). She was quite upbeat, actually, which made me feel a bit more confident. I also have ridiculously high cholesterol levels thanks to a genetic disorder my whole family has, so I've been put on a very strict diet and also a low gi diet as I'll be predisposed to diabetes when I get pg.
Trying to focus on the fact that I am o-ing. Which is a great sign!!
Sorry this has been a me post. Just needed to let you all know. I'll be testing on the 11th of this month provided the witch doesn't rear her head!

Jen- Hope you are better today and ab calming down

Ruthie- Glad you're having m/s not in a mean way iykwim

Megsmum- Sorry about AF for you this cycle

Tutmae- Good news that you are ovulating, my family have same prob with cholesterol i had gest diabetes when preg with dd. Went away with diet so being on diet before will hopefully keep it at bay.

AFM- Thanx Jen + KL for asking about hosp. Everything went ok nothing serious just having probs with my ears at mo.

Evening All,

Van - best of luck over the next few months - hope you fall Preg without even knowing it

Rachel - hun.... for you you at this time. Best of luck with your procedure

Smilanatu - you got sent the bill.... those $%^& heads. I suppose that is one great thing about Oz free health care, through the public system anyway

Jen - I agree DH and I have started already just in case. I must subconciously be thinking about BD in my sleep cause I woke up on top of DH ready to go of course he didn't mind

As for the huge AF - maybe it was just a big clean out before the new bub moves in

Larz - have a read through FF as it has some great information you can actually sign up for the daily emails which gives great info for free. Moral of the story is now the temp needs to continue to stay high. The BT may not come back with a result as you are only 4DPO and HCG usually doesn't kick in until 10DPO - best of luck though

Megsmum - bugger, bugger, bugger.... I was so hoping for the 3rd , crappy July (except for Tina and Ruthie) bring on Aug

Tutmae - I can sense your frustration through your posts.. Fingers crossed the BD has worked this month

AFM - gyno day tomorrow yayayayayay !!!!

Will let you know the outcome

tutmae-- Three for O!! Sorry about the PCOS and high cholesterol.... Keeping my fingers crossed you won't need the meds! Big






Sorry, tut--just realized I must've typed the wrong name! Forgive me, it's still early here! Don't know about your 50 cent pieces, ours are about the size of 2 quarters together...

[tutmae]

Did you mean me, hon?

mollycat--Looks like it was just a good old fashioned clean out... was thinking that whacked out cleaning fairy must've possessed AF the way she possessed me!! This am there was nothing but a brown smudge--although after yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing left inside me! Wouldn't that be nice--a 3 day AF visit? I'm sure I won't be that lucky!



larz--Not sure if a BT will pick up the hcg at 4DPO, I think looking at other charts on FF, the earliest +hpt was on 8DPO. Just don't be too discouraged if you get a BFN, as it may just be too early! Sending lots of and
