*****PCOS - Anybody in the same boat?******

Hi DungunGirl
Good for you, you must be so pleased to get the dress you like, at half price and in a smaller size well done

Thanks for the wishes Cupcake - thinking of you this month, fingers crossed - keep us posted!

Just reading the old posts here re metformin and pregnancy. I was told by my doctor (who had previously told me to take met to 12wks- but denied it!) to stop metformin immediately. She even rang my gynae and allegedly he said the same.

Im now off metformin which is a huge worry given potential miscarriage rates but nothing I can do. I will eat healthily and try not to worry....

Awww well done Dungun Go get that dress, why not buy it in the 14 as an incentive! Monsoon dresses are usually very generous (I squeezed into an 8 when I'm more like a 10-12 and nearer the 12 too!) so you'll find you'll get into the 14 just perfectly

How funny is that!

My dress is white/cotton with blue embroidery around the neckline and around the hem.

oh congrats Fruity and GYO. That is such brilliant news and such a boost for all us PCOS sufferers.

DP and I are trying in earnest this month so fingers crossed I'll have some similar news soon.

That's great DungunGirl

Well done to you Mrs. I had a shopping spree at the monsoon website from here in the US . I too bought a fab dress. I wonder if we got the same one . You are doing really well. Keep going. You are an inspiration to us all!!!!

Hello ladies

Just wanted to post as I am so happy today!

The dress that I fell in love with in Monsoon( which I couldn't afford! ) is now half price.

To top that off, I was able to buy a size smaller as I have lost my 2 stone!

So no more size 18 dresses....Hello size 16!!! In fact...my size 16 skirt is getting lose...maybe 14 is around the corner!

Hooray!!!! Will have a smile on my face all day now!

Hi

Thanks for your kind wishes. Im also not going anywhere. If anything I feel more determined to help fellow PCOSers now.

Dont give up ladies..

Gyo x

DungunGirl It's ok, I will be with you!

The rate I am going, I will be lucky to get pregnant this century .

Awwwww Dungun I really feel your pain I used to feel a bit lonely sometimes when others got BFP's. I know you've probably heard this before (And so have I [groan]) but your time will come, you mark my words!
Anyway I'm not going anywhere ladies

Oh Gawd....just had a horrible thought...

I just pictured me being the last one left in future when everyone has had their clomid/metformin work and are all barefoot and pregnant....

ohhhhh noooooo

Don't leave me guys!!!

Oh Ladies,

I am in tears!!!! I am so happy for you Fruity and GYo. This is the most wonderful news ever.

I hope both your pregnancies go wonderfully. Please don't run away now that you are pregnant. We still need you.

Lots of love and best wishes,

OOOHHH MYYY GOOODDD!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! GYO and FRUITY!

How wonderful. I am soooo happy for you both!

Aww thanks Attila I'm trying not to get too excited but very difficult

Fruity and GYo

My Congratulations to you both!!.

Fruity - with regards to your forthcoming scan I'd phone them and see what they suggest you do. They may decide to put your scan back a little. I was actually given an internal u/s scan at 4 weeks gestation.

Do keep us posted.

With best wishes

Attila

I've counted back 4 weeks from a rough estimate of ovulation. I reckon I'm around 22nd March if it sticks. My line was very faint

I think its mid March based on the last CD1. But my cycle was long one this month, ov was delayed slightly.- so who knows really. Hopeing for dating scan just for re-assurance really.
Triumph for PCOSers everywhere

Congrats again

nope can't work out my due date. I'm on CD58 and there's no way I'm 58 days preg! Gonna need a dating scan. You?

oh my gaaawwwwwd!!!! Two BFP's in one dy for PCOSians!!!! That is fantastic!

I'm sticking tw fingers up to PCOS for the both of us!!!
Huge congratulations GYo

Hi FnN- congratulations for your BFP - up yours to PCOS indeed...

Can you work out your due date?

I also got a BFP today - I am in complete shock since I thought it would never happen due to the PCOS.

Just goes to show- Metformin works wonders !

Just have to hope it sticks now!

So, that spotting I was on about.........

Turns out it was implanation spotting got a faint BFP this morning
Up yours PCOS

Now what do I do about my scan on the 28th? Should I keep it just in case the beany doesnt stick. What if it does? Can they do any harm prodding around in there? I could act all innocent and pretend I didn't know if it gets me an early scan pic Or I could do the right thing and cancel so someone else can have the appointment........................

Oh yeah, the spotting had completely stopped now

Hi girls

This thread keeps disappearing off my "Threads I'm on" list, not sure why

I just wondered something;

I gave up temping for about a week, I've been temping again since Monday and have had high temps since (possible ovulation, but obviously not guaranteed with PCOS)
I know temping is a really bad idea for PCOS but I just wondered about mid/late cycle spotting? (TMI...) On Tuesday and Weds I thought I had the start of AF (finally) but it was extremely light (more spotting) and it was brown. My temp's have remained high.
Is mid cycle/ovulation spotting quite common with PCOS because I've not really had it before (not that I've noticed)
For anyone who knows anything about temping

How is everyone? Sorry I haven't been about, been trying to take it easy with all this TTC malarky

HI Everyone

DungunGirl its seems that nothing is the same. Seems to be dependend on your local authority. If I were you, I'd push for referal to both clinics and then see if you can get the two consultants to talk to each other about your needs.

My GP wouldnt prescribe Metformin so he refered me to a gynae - even though I thought it should have been Endo. Gynae was great and has been nothing but helpful (first doctor I've ever had faith in)

Good luck with the exercise moonlit!

Re taking metformin in pregnancy- my GP (not the one that wouldnt prescribe the met) said I should keep taking metformin til 12wks.

Hi cupcakeandtea,

My GP also told me to stop taking Metformin if I get pregnant. But I have noticed from my research here in the US, that women are recommended to continue taking metformin also.

There?s so much misinformation out there, it?s frightening. For instance my GP told me to stop taking Metformin as soon I?m pregnant, yet my gynae said I could keep taking it as it?s been shown to drastically reduce miscarriage in PCOS sufferers. Obviously I?m going to take the advice of my gynae but it?s so confusing.
