if its not syndrome then there's no worries. I was told the same at one scan but the next time I asked and was told there were none. so I think they come and go.

duggs1976 · 30/08/2013 15:10

Yep same with me. Dr s gave me metformin but another doctor who scanned me said I didn't have the syndrome and without a blood test to confirm the diagnosis I shouldn't have been given the drug. Apparently many women can have polycistic appearing ovaries at various times but there usually isn't anything to worry about or be done. Keep an eye though as now I am sure hormonally multiple cysts on the ovary isn't a sign of great balance and I would now go and see a Chinese herbalist rather than necking some western drugs someone has chucked at me. If you are over weight or thin but hairy with acne these can be symptoms but tbh I've always been a bit overweight and more so these last 6 pregnancies so I think you are probably fine!

Thanks guys! That's really reassuring. I am over weight but like a stone over weight so nothing major and no other symptoms. I have a gynaecologist appointment Wednesday. Xxx

thanks I'm still freaked out by the whole process and I'm still too scared to buy anything or to read any books on what is coming up Hmm I am too aware that it can all go wrong

A girl, how lovely Buzzy Flowers congratulations.

I know this may sound like an impossibility but do try to enjoy being pregnant, I'm sure it would be easy to be overwhelmed with anxiety but I hope in your quiet moments you also find joy in it.

Sorry that sounded patronising, it wasn't meant to!

team sorry to hear that

baking 2 and bit years ago I was an instadiffer, fell first month trying, had a few miscarriages was diagnosed with nk cells, then couldn't get pregnant, I had a fertility MOT where they told me my AMH was 1.1 and wouldn't get pregnant without IVF Hmm so we only had limited funds and knew we would only get one shot at it so choose Donor egg, and we went off to a place called Brno in the Czech Rep

baking the clinic didn't do immunes but would support you on your programme, I did try to go and see Shehata but I left it too late to see him before I went, I'm on the hydroxy and I took 25mgs of Pred from 'ovulation/egg collection'

Free you have done amazingly well on the "first heartbeat" miscarriage documentary fund raising efforts... If anyone hasn't had a peek or maybe even supported this please do take a look now... Link to follow.

freelancegirl · 03/09/2013 08:41

Thanks Duggs! I'm so busy with it all I've no time to write. Great news for Buzzy though.
How are you Duggs?

I know a few more of you are up for being interviewed, will give you a shout when we've got funding and arrange xx

freelancegirl · 03/09/2013 08:41

Oh and great news too Cartoon!

duggs1976 · 03/09/2013 08:45

No probs free you are doing a sterling job!Grin I'm ok. Feeling remarkably fine but I think the weekly acupuncture and Chinese herbs help but I would rather like a few reassuring signs. I'm 8 and half weeks now so ticking along. Might have a 9 wk scan privately. Went to doctors yesterday to book in. Very scary and don't really believe it will work out yet. Great news on the other scans ladies. X

freelancegirl · 03/09/2013 09:02

Keeping everything crossed for you Duggs. 9 weeks will be a great milestone.

Bakingtins · 03/09/2013 09:34

I've backed the film and will share the link on the miscarriage board, it deserves to be aired widely.
trickster great news, you must be so relieved!
duggs crossing fingers for you. You were so helpful when I was looking into all this, really hope this works out for you.

freelancegirl · 03/09/2013 10:00

Thanks everyone - the support is overwhelming. We are 97% funded as from this morning. Please email me with your nicknames so I know who you are! xx
