I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

Digitalgirl, that anniversary sucks

Speaking to a friend today who's had 2 MC and numerous connected problems since, and made me realise how lucky I am - she said 'at least you have a healthy DS'. And I am.

But it still is difficult to get your head around when you want DC2!

Eskarina · 26/07/2010 12:17

Hopping on board too if that's allowed. First time ttc #1, cycles have been getting longer and longer since coming off the pill in feb this year so makes working out ov times difficult. Had the Big Talk with DH yesterday in a sort of "are we really going for it then?" way. Now I'm scared but am fed up of waiting for a "right" time to come along work-wise, esp as have been putting it off for 2+ years whilst doing a Masters.

Wombat33 · 26/07/2010 16:47

Hi all. Hope you had good weekends all round. Karsten kindly pointed out to me that I actually should be on the very tail end of the April bus, so for now I'm sort of straddling two buses... hope that's allowed!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 26/07/2010 17:04

That sounds rather .. uncomfortable for you Wombat! (mind you it just occured to me that so am I! ekk these buses are rather high)

I fancy a pizza so... (waves hand in a complicated manner) pizza for all.

Hello everyone, could i join your bus please? Although not reached end of cycle... not confident for April bus so thought I would hop on for May prematurely! Would also love some advice... Have been TTC for 14 months AAARRGGHHHHH! Recently been to GP because I don't think I'm ovulating... UCL 28/48 - PCOS diagnosis 6 years ago. Have had bmi of 35 for long time - but now lost 2st and got it down to 29. My Referral to Gynae will take 18 week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wondering if gp will prescribe clomid before gynae consultation? Could anyone help me please? Thanks... Here are my stats.x

TTC#1 UCL 28/48 Cycle 14 CD25

Good luck everyone.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lobyd · 27/07/2010 09:21

I've never joined one of these threads but may I?

TTC number 2 but basically no idea what my cycle is doing...bfore DD1 it was about 35 days, now I've only had 2 AF since stoppping BF, about 60 days apart...

So I would estimate Cycle2 UCL35? CD8.

Good luck to all! x

vallinnapod and brilaunt have either of you considered trying Metformin before you try Clomid? If you have not, talk to your GPs about it, as I was prescribed it by mine without seeing a specialist. It basically can help lower your insulin levels, which in turn helps balance all of your hormones and can reduce the number of cysts you get, lose a bit of weight and sort out wonky cycles. I have PCOS and started taking it in April. Before then I did not have a period for 3 months, but since taking it my cycles are getting shorter and shorter, and I have OVd 2 out of 3 cycles.

Rockbird · 28/07/2010 11:20

Wow there are loads of people on here

I should join really, I sat out the April bus although am still on that cycle but the NICE guidelines today have put me off, being of the lard arsed big boned variety. But I'm nearly 39 and it's a toss up between being fat and pg or slimmer and too old Was a lard arse when I had DD and had no problems that weren't caused by the medical profession but now I feel a bit deflated.

8rubberduckies · 28/07/2010 11:57

Please come join us rockbird I have saved you a seat at the back; we can get drunk together and throw sweets at those on the 2ww

I have a BMI of around 29-30, and even though I've lost a bit of weight due to Metformin, I keep getting told by my GP to lose weight to help me conceive - if only it was that simple! I was bigger than I am now when I fell pg with dc1 (lost loads of weight when in 1st trimester and b'feeding, think it was because my PCOS went away then because of hormone changes) and had no issues throughout pg connected to weight, so I think you should look at things positively and think that as long as you are healthy enough to cope with a pregnancy then that's ok and go for it! I'm well aware that it's not so easy to convince the professionals of that though.

vallinnapod · 28/07/2010 12:50

Thanks for the suggestion 8rubberduckies a couple of people have banded about Metformin however my only PCOS symptom is polycystic ovaries. Everything else is very normal, no more excess hair than then next chick, clear skin BMI of 21.1. My Clomid advice/soon to be prescription is from a gynae who is now my fertiliy doc (got the gynae referral via health insurance and stuck with her when they stopped paying as she was a nice lady - and highly recommended!

Also trying a homeopathic remedy, Sepia which is meant to help balance hormones - and reflexology. If I ever get PG I'll have no idea which was the magic 'cure'
