Amazing thanks @Aph413 - discount code would be great!
Yes so disappointing - I won't be using them again.

Aph413 · 02/06/2018 11:30

FlapJackered sorry you got a false positive, I hate the one step pregnancy tests. I've had so many false positives from them. Fingers crossed you get a confirmed ovulation soon.
I got the 500g bag of inositol from my protein, I can send you a discount code if you like?
It's recommended to use powder because to take the dose recommended for ttc you need to take 8 tablets a day and it gets expensive.
The powder from my protein I started on 1.5g a day which is 7 scoops (tiniest scoop ever) then added another 7 scoops to take 3g daily. I'm currently doing 18 scoops for a full 4g dosage but they recommend you increase slowly because it can potentially give you diarrhoea.

FlapJackered · 02/06/2018 11:24

Oops sent too soon!
@Aph413 which inositol did you buy? I think I am going to get some for next cycle.

Took a pregnancy test with one step on Thursday and it was positive- since taken Clear blue and first response and they came back negative. 🙁 just looked at the reviews and apparently lots of people get false positives on it.
I am not surprised as although I had a positive opk, my temps say I haven't ovulated yet and I am on cd39. I have been so good with diet and booze this cycle and it's still long 😩 feeling a bit low about it all.

Not from everything I've read. It's not specifically for pcos, it's used for weightloss and other things too

Thank you Sherlock2207 how long after you started them did you get your bfps?
Chart is still looking good this morning, appears I missed ovulation this cycle but how amazing since starting the Inositol I've nearly halved my cycle length.

Maca and apimist (honey with added pollen, propolis and royal jelly) made the difference for me with dc1 and dc2 when my cycles were long and all over the place due to PCOS.

They didn't shorten the cycles but apparently help to regulate hormones and improve egg quality. Got pregnant and stayed pregnant relatively quickly after I started taking them (after a long time ttc and two mc).

Also used conceive+ gel which I think helped as well, and was on a low-GI diet which is beneficial for PCOS.

Aph413 · 31/05/2018 15:18

First thing I did when I woke up! Wink
Probably a bit late for a bfp but if this ovulation is confirmed then I'll have a 38 day cycle! I'm most excited for that

An ovulation window!!!

Aph413 · 30/05/2018 23:14

I collect her in 6 weeks. So excited.
Finally back from camping so back to my opks. My ovusense chart is so weird though. No idea if that crazy low temperature was ovulation or just from being outside. Temperatures need to keep climbing to prove it I guess, I can cope with missing my window this time if I've shortened my cycle.

Aww soo cute glad u finally got a little kitty after that stupid guy messed u about😻

Speaking of cats thisis
Little black one is mine. The other is from an older litter but I had to have a cuddle and she went to sleep on me 😍

Another pregnancy sprung on me today. So that's 2 of my oldest friends. Really stings because once upon a time it would have been amazing for all 3 of us to be pregnant at the same time.

Sorry about that rant, feeling less frustrated today, maybe af is on her way, but who knows with this cycle!
The OH's have it pretty good don't they, although you're right - they do have to put up with our hormones!

@FlapJackered feel free to rant i do it all the time on here lol does sometimes feel like us women make all the sacrifices! Guys can forget what cd ur on etc cause they dnt have to pee on opks take vits and temp everyday. I have to admit my oh is gr8 puttin up with my mood swings etc but ultimately their lucky they dnt have to go through pregnancy either

I am guilty of putting these things off too. I put off having my thyroid checked for ages and it turns out I do have a problem, now kicking myself I didn't get it checked out sooner.

Frustrated with DH today, as after saying he would cut back on drinking so much and also hot baths he is now having a bath, and has been overdoing the drinking all weekend! It feels like I am doing all the leg work and he doesn't really give a crap. I am trying to get him to get his sperm checked as if there is a problem then all the things I am doing to try and get myself sorted are pointless.
Sorry rant over!

@Aph413 well according to last cycle at least i know i ovulate sumtimes and my luteal phase is normal but now im thinkin what if i go and its unexplained infertility and theres nothing they can do. It scares the crap out of me the thought of it, seen a programme the other day old lady husband died and no children all alone. For the 1st time i thought is that going to me? All your friends dead.. terrifying maybe im mental lol

Aph413 · 28/05/2018 14:46

I've got my smear test to book now. Not looking forward to that one bit so I understand putting things off thisis I really do urge you to go though, you won't know if theres a problem until you do. Or it might be nothing at all.

Ooo, that was v self-centred! Sorry to hear about cramps - I prescribe chocolate cake and Netflix 😁

flyingplum · 28/05/2018 11:29

I think it's just a weird anovulatory period. It's not really doing anything today - wore a tampon overnight just in case, and it wasn't really necessary. Who knows. Bought new seven seas pills yesterday so will get back into the habit of taking them and see if that has any positive effect. Might be that the new found regfularity if the last few months was just coincidental with starting taking them, but worth a shot!
