PCOS and TTC! Anyone want to join with me?

I had lots of period like pains last night. They were that bad I actually thought I might get a period. Must just be the weather!!

Did swi but been having lots of period like aches but nothing yet...my truely confusing body!!!

fairy just in case you are ovulating, get off MN and get SWI

fingers crossed for both of us reallygrumpy!!!!

Hi fairy I think there's a good chance that you've either ov'd or are about to. On the cycles where i've ov'd it's always been around cd22.

Well I tested again on fri and there was a faint line, so DH and I had a silly argument about whether it was a BFP or not. Tested again today and it was there again. Tests were both cheapies so I'm going to test again tomorrow. Can you get two false positives on pg tests?

I don't think it was 'another' as I doubt I have had any in the first place!

Hi Fairy

Think it means you've had another LH surge and the kit has read that, I would not really read anything else into it.

Would only take "official" confirmation of ovulation at this stage (i.e through blood tests or internal ultrasounds to check that an egg has actually left the ovary). As you know OPKs are inherently unreliable particularly where PCOS is the issue.

coconuts I have that book and it's fab!

wally how did your scan go?

fairy sorry I have no idea

Hi all,

Need some advice, cos I didn't take my own advice!!!!

I've just taken an OPK & it's got two lines & I know PCOSers shouldn't use then but... - the story goes on day 22 I bled a little so thought I was on early - which also is a miracle I made it that far into the month going by my recent experience, then day 23 I didn't bleed at all, today I have EWCM so thought what the hell, I'll take an OPK - now have two lines - does it mean I'm ovulating or am I getting my hopes up???

Thanks girlies

How's the 2ww going lucy?

I look forward to hearing how you get on.

Quick question. I have bought this

Is it a good book? Are there better ones?

thanks coconuts - I'll post after I've been! x

it was just a sonographer for me but she was great answered all the questions i had before i asked them.

I was going to just start by saying "are you allowed to tell me the results here or do I have to wait to see my GP?" - She replied I can tell you now.

I would then have asked
"do my ovaries look normal?",
"have i got any cysts?",
"are they enlarged?",
"is my womb lining a normal thickness?"

but luckily she just told me everything straight away (apart from the womb lining bit because im useless and forgot that bit!)

Hope your scan goes well. Dont be nervous, the scan is the easy part :)

Sorry to hear your news coconuts . I've got my scan next Wed to see if I've got it - really nervous now! What questions should I ask? Is it a doctor that scans you or just a sonographer?

18-24 months TTC to be referred to fertility. she has referred to gynae so should get an appointment in a few weeks hopefully.

did she say how long you needed to wait coconuts?

I have a good mind to go and see a diff doc. It's like now theyve found out whats wrong, thats it, deal with it, bugger off. She didn't even offer any support. If someone was going in knowing absolutley nothing about it she wouldnt have made them feel very at ease. lucky i kinda know a bit about it.

Eh complain coconuts obv you'll have more difficulty TTC than someone without it. What a cheek!! Some people really shouldn't work in the health profession. I'd ask for 2nd opinion, you're more than entitled to that. Sorry you had such a shitty time I feel for you! x

Hi all,

I'm back after my scan last week and my follow up appointment this morning.

Long and short of it is that I definitely have PCOS, it's incurable and I'm "stuck with it" and there is nothing she can do. I asked to be referred and she said she will refer to gynae "if I insist" but not fertility. I'm don't "meet the criteria" for any treatment like Clomid or Metformin. I am apparently too yound and haven't been TTC long enough.

Overall a shit appointment.

Don't know where to go from here.

Congrats to any BFP's that have happened recently :)

Thankyou, boba!

Good luck on the 2ww lucy!

Hi all

Wow BFPs, starting this kind of thread really brings on the luck doesn't it!

reallygrumpy sorry for the bad news but hope you feel better once AF comes (and if it doesn't, all the better :-))

Well I am quite pleased because we managed to SWI day before ov this time round, due to dh's assiduity :-) so actually have got a proper 2WW for the first time in ages! However, no symptoms of any kind and I usually get sore boobs pre-menstrually so am a bit worried the high temps are just a ruse. We will have to wait and see.

Take care everyone.

tinky sorry about your BFN but yay on your weight loss!

louisE congratulations!

grumpy sorry about your BFN but I agree with pinky maybe repeat in a couple of days?

Oh yes (hit post too soon) congrats Louis! Your age gap could be even smaller than mine!

Aah rubbish reallygrumpy, it's so depressing isn't it?

If it makes you feel better I had BFN on CD39 (UCL 33 - 35 days) then BFP on CD41 - so it isn't over till AF arrives.

Are you going to go on to Clomid again this side of Christmas or wait till the new year?
