TTC November baby

@LotzW im with you got a bfp Wednesday night and tested again this morning and there the same. Due at tomorrow so 🤞🏻 it stays away and it’s a sticky one x

How's everyone doing?
No sign of af but I'm like a nervous wreck that it'll arrive and I'm over analysing every single niggle, symptom and feeling 🤦🏼‍♀️

@SaltedChoco excellent news, really hope it alI gives us the support we need 👏🏻 I’ve also come across it on a Podcast I listen to about fertility - so it’s now everywhere I look it was right under my nose this whole time

I was so unaware I even had PCOS - we have one child together spontaneously got pregnant with him. So assumed it would be that easy again!
my LH FSH blood work all came back fine, testosterone and thyroid all normal range and proof I had ovulated. I have just got my head around that if it weren’t for this scan I’d have being carrying on the same for even longer.
wish I’d booked one privately but all I can do is crack on now!
Interesting they have offered medicines next step for you - they only told me I can have a laparoscopy and dye test to check my tubes but that is 6-8 months wait, hope I get my BFP before then.

I asked about meds to help support - but they said nope, straight to private IVF 😔

@lottieb92 I met my gynae (who is a fertility specialist) last night and she recommended Inofolic Alpha too! So I ordered it last night. I read about it a lot last night and it has really good reviews, so it's worth a try.

My appointment went well, I have high levels of testosterone (due to PCOS) but everything else is in normal range, my scan was good too, I have a large fibroid but it's positioned in a way that won't effect me getting pregnant or staying pregnant. I feel so relieved. I told her I hadn't ovulated this month and she said its nothing to worry about with my age and pcos. She said she could give me meds to help with ovulating but I'm going to see if I ovulate next month by myself first.

And what happened? Did you ever get your static or LH surge? Xxx

@TunnocksTCake definitely see a line and I would say it looks pink. A tentative congratulations!

@Superstorefan123 sorry you have a BFN ♥️

I’m CD4 today, AF on its last legs, FW will begin probably Tuesday I think

@Floralsandsmiles that’s annoying - I had something similar last month.

The test is called first response early result (FRER) and I’ll be testing first wee tomorrow morning if AF doesn’t arrive today xx

AF due today, got a first response early test arriving in the post today, fingers crossed xx

Day 7 of flashy man!!!! What is going on! 😫😫 xxxx

Congrats to all the BFPs! I can definitely see lines on all of them 😍

11DPO here and caved and tested… literally stark white :( think I’m definitely out unfortunately… onto cycle 11!

I can see something @TunnocksTCake !! Maybe get another to do tomorrow morning? Xx

@TunnocksTCake I definitely see something! 😍

@TunnocksTCake I see it 😍

Just double checked yesterdays and it is so stark white, there's definitely a difference

Argh I thought I had a FRER for this morning as we're going to the in laws today but the box was empty 😱😱
BUT I did this wondfo and can see a vvvfl but could be an evap? Can anyone see it?

Aw Hun @MilkyAndFluffy I know how tough it is, sometimes a good cry is exactly what you need. I'm going to take a few tests to go with me this weekend. A BFP would really be incredible but I'm trying to just be as calm as possible because I really got my hopes up last month and it was so crushing. I'll let you know either way! Xxx

Definitely!! Keep me posted, we can share tips!

I had a blood test at my doctors so I’ll let you know if anything insightful comes back from that - the doctor is calling me in a week or so :)

@Mushroo thank you! that all sounds perfect to me.. well done you!
we have been trying a long time, but never with this diagnosis, I am regular 30 days also. So it came as a shock, but really hope this gets us across the finishing line 🤍

if DH can do it, so can I…

I have PCOS as well. So far no BFP but we’ve only tried for one cycle. I’ve got from irregular periods to pretty much every 30 days by doing the following:

• Inositiol supplement
• folic acids (so the supplement you’ve been recommended will cover both of those and I’ve heard good things about it)
• vitamin d
• zinc
• Resistance training and and going for a walk every day.

@Tophy124 yes they told me vitamin D also! Well for both DH and myself - so I’m now pinching his…
happy to help, it does seem like a great supplement going by reviews - hoping it works for us both 😊 best of luck xx

@lottieb92 Im going to order some thank you!!

Im trying to delay my HSG and keep postponing it!so I understand the wanting to try everything first. I also had a lot of follicles on my last ultrasound but the dr didn’t really comment on it much.

Id also be inclined to trust it if the dr told you as they have nothing to lose! I just added a high strength vitamin D to my daily regime as my dr recommended it.

@Tophy124 he took a few different vitamin supplements a day, reduced caffeine and alcohol but didn’t stop them totally! And 3 months between his SA tests a huge improvement, we got lucky! Mostly your common ones google taught us:
vitamin D3
ashwaganda
zinc and magnesium
omega 3

On to me, I am no expert… but as far as I know the Inofolic Alpha contains folic acid and inositol - meant to help with improving ovulation and managing pcos symptoms - I guess with me they said it can help me to grow one STRONG leading egg.. rather than loads of them!

it does have great reviews I will post a link. It was expensive - but as it was a fertility doctor that told me, I’m going to trust it and I’ll try anything before I fork out for private IVF!

just wish I knew someone who tried the same thing 😂

@lottieb92 Thats great news on the sperm count! Did he do anything different?

I haven’t heard of that supplement but would love to know more!! Did they say what it’s meant to do?

Oops posted too early….
continued ….

so we were told DH had low sperm count… did further tests, new analysis in December and were told last week … his sperm now through the roof (normal basically!) but 8 mil to 22 million.

So we then scanned me… and they said I have too many follicles, suspected PCOS - they didn’t actually say.. “you have this”, but I was given Inofolic Alpha to try for a few months before I have a keyhole surgery to investigate!?

oh and told to lose 5% of my weight, even though I am in healthy BMI range.. kicker 🤣

mind is blown, but really trying to get my BFP now before we have the next steps!
anyone got any experience with this supplement for PCOS?! X
