Crushing disappointment 2

@TheChineseChicken ah I’ve just swapped my cyclizine for another one! Cyclizine was so bitter and I totally understand what you mean...it kind of took the edge off but that was about it?! Anyway I seem to be getting on better with this one, haven’t thrown up this morning.

I find I throw up foam more. When I’m sick on a full stomach it’s not my whole stomach contents but almost like the top bit so whatever’s sitting right there...so I think I kind of know what you mean 😅

Thanks @TheChineseChicken - yay a girl @Ells0204 is this your first?
Apart from when I missed 6 periods I've always had regular periods with PCOS without medication and my recent scan confirmed no cysts on my ovaries, I have no spots or extra facial hair which PCOS can cause and whilst I did gain weight last year I've since lost 2stone and am at the lower end of healthy range BMI! I ovulate normally and OPKs generally get the right day (AF always started 2 weeks to day after ovulation I knew they were right) !
Heard my baby's heartbeat at my scan today it sounded really strong just hope it is ok!! Xx

Wow @Ells0204 congratulations!!! Have you felt any movement yet?

How was the scan at 17 weeks? We have one Saturday and I'll be 17+5, it's mostly so dd can see the baby. We were going to find out the sex but dh has said he'd really like a surprise again and he's more passionate about it than me so we'll be waiting.

How’s everyone getting on? Been reading through and all seems positive so far! @TheChineseChicken how far along are you now?

I’m 17 weeks and had a private scan on Thursday...I’m having a little girl!!! Heard her heart beat for the first time, then the next day I had my midwife check up and heart it again 😆 I’m still on a high! Finally getting a noticeable bump as well. Still suffering with nausea and vomiting so was given another anti sickness medication to try and see if that helps.

Hope everyone’s coping! X

You can ovulate with PCOS without medication, although probably not as regularly. Is it PCOS or PCO?
I have PCOS and was on metformin to encourage ovulation, it took 3 years first time to get it and my doctor was never keen on prescribing clomid so great that you've got it so quickly. It's also suggested (although there are no large enough studies yet) that metformin can reduce the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS.

Oh wow. I actually don't think I have any noticeable symptoms of PCOS at all...I've had a couple of 34 or 36 day cycles but generally my cycle is 28-32 days.

I even used CB ovulation tests for the past 18 months, thinking that I ovulated as I got a peak (solid smiley) every month! But i knew something wasn't right after trying for so so long... so I paid for a scan and the lady confirmed PCOS. I'm just hoping these meds work because im tired of trying! lol xx

I've always been unmedicated for my PCOS before my DD I didn't have a period for 6 months -since then I've had regular periods but with a 42 day cycle it took 5 cycles TTC to get my BFP but I had a CP on cycle 3 too! Do you have a lot of symptoms with your PCOS? Xx

@TheChineseChicken Thank you! Good to hear from you too and i'm so pleased for your amazing news.

@MummyBearBoo It's so reassuring to hear things like this so thank you :) Were you on medication like Clomid/Metformin or did you get your BFP naturally? (And congrats on your pregnancy!)

Scan was all normal obvs they can't tell about genetic condition til they get CVS results Friday or Monday but NT was normal so consultant said she'd be really surprised if it had Down syndrome heartbeat 162 bpm said I was measuring at 12 weeks even tho I'm 11+3! Baby was wriggling so much they struggled to measure - CVS was ok just got a sore tummy and feel a bit sick!
@liveinhope100 -I have PCOS but I've been pregnant 4 times in 4 years (inc 1CP) so it doesn't always stop you being able to carry a baby I've almost carried 3 to 12 weeks at least -1 DD, 1TFMR at 12 weeks and I'm currently 12 weeks according to my scan today but I think I'm 11+ 3! Xx

Hi ladies, some of you might remember me. I've been on the posts quite a bit before, I definitely recognise some of your usernames.

Update on my side...Got a BFP after a year and half of trying but sadly had a miscarriage a few months ago so i'm back here again. Finally have been diagnosed with PCOS so this is the first month i'm starting Clomid, Metformin etc

Trying to stay positive now that I've finally received a diagnosis but now i've got the added stress of whether I can even carry a baby now. This is my second miscarriage. Waiting for blood test results and in meantime i'm taking baby aspirin and my gynae will give me progesterone if I get that BFP. It literally feels like one thing after the other so I'm just trying to take it day by day. My anxiety is awful at the moment though!

I'm going to have a read back to see how you all have been getting on but I can already see that @pinkstar01 and @TheChineseChicken both got your BFP's - congratulations!!!!

@TheChineseChicken I hope you feel better, throat infection sounds awful! And 2 weeks holiday sounds amazing, I've got a trip to Portugal coming up in 2 weeks for 4 nights with my girlfriends and I can't wait!

I just had a scan and went for harmony test, baby is doing well and growing nicely! It looked like a proper little baby now and apparently I'm measuring ahead by 5 days now!

That's good @TheChineseChicken hope they do help your nausea! Holiday sounds like a good idea!
I think worry is an understatement I'm pretty terrified! I'm not doing anything today DH is in bed nursing a hangover after a night out with work! He said he'd be home straight after the meal I'm pretty sure the meal finished well before 1am!!!
Tomorrow I'm at the IL's for Sunday Lunch and staying there that night as DD is staying there Monday while me and DH go to hospital then I'll have to rest for that day as my tummy is sore and bruised after! Xx

@TheChineseChicken -hope you're feeling better -I'm 11 weeks today and have been feeling much better for the last week though my boobs are still incredibly sore I'm wearing a sports bra at night that seems to help!! Xx

@TheChineseChicken -glad your scan went well!
Yes @pinkstar01 I had a dating scan last week it showed me as 9+4 EDD 10 Jan - little one was wriggling round all over the place!
Got another scan Monday which is when they do the CVS test the needle is huge!! At the last scan though the baby wasn't using the placenta they said I t had formed and they said it was high and at the front which is good for the CVS!
I know what you mean about a bump I was doing the school run yesterday and a woman I know only to say hello to came up and said 'oh you're having another baby how lovely' -just from looking at my tummy!! I had to make her aware that DD doesn't know yet coz she was with me!! Coz I lost 2 stone before getting pregnant I had a flat stomach before so looks kinda obvious pretty sure it's water retention as at 10+5 baby is still really small! Xx

@TheChineseChicken that's great news! It definitely makes it feel worth it once you see the baby :) I'm almost 10 weeks and feeling so much better, just have to make sure I eat 4 meals a day and fine...just the tiredness is hard especially since I started my new job this week. But it's been okay so far thankfully!

We've got a private scan booked for this Saturday along with harmony test..excited!

@MummyBearBoo how are you doing? Have you had your scan yet? I finally got my booking in appointment and it's the day before I turn 12 weeks but the scan isn't on that day it will be later, they're not leaving much time though!

I'm 10 weeks on Thursday and I already have a bump!! I didn't show this much with my first until I was almost 18-20 weeks! I look properly pregnant 😬

Hi @TheChineseChicken -have you had your scan if so how did it go? Xxx

Wow @TheChineseChicken sounds amazing!!
I'm off out with DDs best friends mum (we get on really well too) in town for an Italian and a few mocktails!! Daddy is babysitting! Don't really like prunes it's easing off a bit now anyway apart from the sore boobs most of my symptoms are better now I'm at just over 10 weeks!!! Xx
