Hey @Figtree11 I have just been diagnosed with PCOS too and I am on metformin to regulate my cycles a bit more. I am currently having 30-47 day cycles. My last one was 34. How are you finding metformin? I’ve only been taking it for 3.5 weeks so far x

Hey, I’ve been on metformin since Xmas, and take 1500mg. I won’t lie, it can give me awful stomach issues. Eating more healthily helps to avoid issues too much. But I have found it’s improved my cycles. I also take myo-inositol which is meant to help too. My cycles used to vary from 40 to 60 days before I started it. I got pregnant the cycle after I stared it

@DorsetGirl89 fingers crossed - I don’t think I remember having symptoms with the second pregnancy. I track with the strips, I haven’t tried bbt yet. I was diagnosed with pcos last year so I’m on metformin, and so my last couple of cycles have been between 38 and 40 days which is pretty good for me. Since being on metformin I’ve found the strips have worked quite well, whereas before my lh was always high!

Hi @DorsetGirl89 thanks for inviting me over! That’s really kind of you. Hi everyone, nice to meet you 👋 I’ve been ttc fof 4 months, aged 35. Though I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS recently so that’s added another layer of worry for us x

Thank you, love. I actually feel rotten today. I swear my boobs inflated a bit yesterday. It was easier to symptom spot when I was younger, but now with disabilities with pain every day, and horrible digestion, it’s hard to pinpoint anything specific which is why I was going off the temps a lot 😅

Thank you ❤️ just had a little read back, I’m so sorry you’re going through it & in limbo. I really hope it’s positive news for you.
I’ve been doing ok up until the last couple of days, as I keep comparing how I feel each dpo to last time. I haven’t tested yet, I think I will do on Friday morning

Yeah it dipped two days ago. Is it too early for faint lines? No FR. I don’t trust the new dark pink cap ones cos I had an indent on them last month! Going to wait as long as I can hold out and just see if something darker happens over the next couple of days 🤞🏻

@DorsetGirl89 In about 3 min. It looked slightly different cos I could see it in low light and crappy pictures like this one, and my partner could see it. I’m too scared to hope lol. Thank you for you support though, this forum definitely helps the stress lol.

I’m not sure. I think a lot of people with messed up sleep don’t bother, but I was getting readable results. Guess I’m just disappointed. AF is due Saturday. Wasn’t going to test till then but my partner and I did a couple. Think we got another shitty evap. Do they glow after inverted though?

Sorry to see the chemicals and the ectopic :( TTC is very unfair! Hope you’re all doing OK.

Gonna count myself out I think.

Normally I temp at 3pm after my biggest sleep, but today it was only 3 hours long. Temp was high all night beforehand, over 37, then plummeted back under cover line to 36.4 after I woke up. Went back to sleep for another few hours and it’s gone back over 36.8. So the only time during a 12 hour period I choose to log it, it’s low. Typical. Would love to log a higher temp and feel positive but I shouldn’t break with the time I do it.

Sorry for the rant. Just thought that was one thing that was at least making sense for me each month.
