Eeeeeeek!!!! GL for your scan Rosebud Big hugs and lots of positive thoughts of good growth

[chandelierswinging]

Ps. New thread looming?????

[RoseBud2016]

YES! I was thinking the same thing! I'll sort it tomorrow or Friday (from Czech!) X

[RoseBud2016]

CD10 scan today and things are looking like they are progressing.

Lining is now at 6mm.

Left ovary = 14,9,9,8,7,7

Right ovary = 15,13,13,9,7,7,7

So I've got 4 dominant follicles which it looks like we should be able to something with. I'm not sure any of the others will catch up but it seems unlikely to me!
I had a figure of wanting 6 dominant follicles in my head, so feel disappointed at 4, but as DH keeps telling me 4 potential eggs is better than none- so I'll take 4!

Waiting to hear what the clinic want me to do next in terms of meds.

[chandelierswinging]

Woo hoo Rosebud! Been checking in all day to see how you'd got on. Sadly, your DH is right 4 is better than none. It only takes one... Thinking of you

[stealthbanana]

Yay rosebud! That's more like it. 4 is plenty, and you never know - I hear that with PCOS and injectibles the follies can go off like rockets so you might find a couple of the smaller ones catch up over the next 36 hours or so. Safe travels and keep us posted on how it all goes. Bestest of luck! Xxx

[Dunlin1987]

Sorry for the lack of posts recently but I have been watching from afar. It has been a busy couple of weeks.

That's great news Rosebud 4 is definitely better than nothing. In our position we have to take anything we can get and never give up hope!

A little update on me...I have my Hycosy scan in the morning and I have never been so nervous about anything in my entire life. Fingers crossed it is good news or else I don't think will cope. Clomid is literally 2 week away if all is clear!!!

[Orangesarenot]

Just popping in to cheer on Rose, Banana and her caped socks, Stealth, Chandelier, Dunlin and everyone else having appointments/scans/drugs this week. Lots of good luck!

Also Rose travel insurance for IVF? It is v obvious now you mention it, but I'd never even thought of it! God, is there no end to the ttc money pit I know the answer is no

[ellewalk]

Good luck everyone, I am so pleased things are progressing for you all....

[Dunlin1987]

My tubes are clear!!! Woo hoo!!! Clomid here I come

[RoseBud2016]

Hello from a very sunny Brno! We arrived early this morning and have just met our Dr and had another follicle scan. I now have 5 dominant follicles on the left and 8 dominant follicles on the right! Bit of a difference from yesterday morning.
They have added Certrotide to my protocol now and we have a date for EC..... 1st Feb! I'm in a lot of abdominal discomfort already so god knows what I'll be like by Monday. I just can't wait to (fingers crossed) create some embryos!

[RoseBud2016]

Thanks for all of your lovely messages by the way They got me all reset on the way to Luton airport this morning. You girls are the best!
So pleased things are moving forward for you Dunlin Woop for clear tubes X

[RoseBud2016]

Obvs that should say upset not reset X

[chandelierswinging]

GOOOOOO Dunlin's tubes!!! Bring on the clomid!

GOOOOOO Rosebud's follies!!! Hope you're not in too much discomfort over the weekend and that you get to enjoy a bit of CR culture whilst you're there.

[ellewalk]

Love it love it love it......I have every thing crossed.....

Rose come on follicles!!

Dunlin whoop the Clomid (hope to be there with you soon once they have checked my tubes, lap and dye on the 10/02)

banana PUPO...........come on little one!

So CD12 today, trying SMEP this month so BD tonight......trying to keep it sexy and fun so have not told DH he just thinks I am exceptionally horny at the moment, we girls are good at faking it till we make it LOL. I have been spotting for the last 3 days which I am not overly pleased about, could mean not going to ovulate this month but what the hell still going for it!

WEEKEND WHOOP

[Dunlin1987]

Ooo not long Ellewalk is that the same as a hycosy? What's the difference?

[AmyC86]

hi ladies,

sorry ive not been on here in a few days, been busy with work etc.

best of luck to rosebud and dunlin i've my fingers crossed for you both

I've been trying to read the past threads inbetween other things, and its given me so much more information about PCOS. I've decided that i need to loose weight (again). I've lost weight before but always fell off the band wagon and piled it all back on again.

But after reading the threads and a few documents i see the prevalence of PCOS suffers developing type 2 diabetes. it already runs in my family so i need to shift the weight to help with the control of that.

Ive also been suffering with horrible symptoms of pcos for a few years, which have been until now, unexplained....

for 3 years ive been suffering from alopechia, now i realise that it's a symptom of pcos. I also have excess facial hair which in the last 12-18 months has gone absolutly crazy. in the last 6-8 months ive been suffering from a flare up of oily spots on my skin (which i now think are adult ache) i've never suffered with spots on my face ever, that an roseaca.

i've got a consulant appointment for the 29th Feb and i'm going to discuss my future and possible medicaiton to control these horrible symptoms as well as TTC

Just a quick question, has anyone with pcos got psoriasis? Reading some american journals and they say psoriasis suffers are 6 times more likely to develop Pcos......

[stealthbanana]

Hurrah rosebud! Knew it would come good for you. Enjoy Czech and get some rest. We are all rooting for you!

dunlin so pleased your hycosy was clear. Onwards to clomid!

amy can't help on the psoriasis, sorry - but it's great you're recommitting to weight loss. It sounds like it's such a big driver of success for so many pcos-ers, it's well worth doing.

AFM, I am in great shape! I have one single lovely 16mm follie and lining is at 8mm with a triple stripe. So trigger Monday morning and IUI Tuesday. Have had to cancel a work trip but so be it. Am excited to be in the game!

[RoseBud2016]

Thanks Chandelier, Elle, Amy and Stealth Feeling more relaxed now. We spent the whole afternoon in our hotel room sleeping (Neither of us had slept well for days) It was a shame to miss the gorgeous weather but was defo needed!

Amy Yes! I have psoriasis on my elbow and on parts of my scalp including behind my ear. It only affects my right side of my body oddly but I get really bad flare ups. I've had it since I was a teenager and rob ably around the same time as being diagnosed with PCOS so there might be something in that! Do you have it?

Stealthy baby! Sooooo pleased that your IUI is all set for Tuesday. Good job ovaries!!! It's going to be a busy few days with your IUI on Tuesday, my EC on Monday and Bananas POAS on Monday!!!

We are off to the Zoo today... They even have Polar bears apparently I'm not usually a zoo lover but apparently it's very nice.

[RoseBud2016]

Oh and Elle Great job on the stealth SMEP plan. I did that for a few cycles too...... DHs face was a picture!

[AmyC86]

rosebud

Yes I do have psoriasis, I've had it since I was 4. Had a really bad flare-up initially and was hospitalised for intensive treatment when I was 4. Since then it's come and gone, but I've always had at least 1 patch of it.

My psoriasis is on the outer sides of my body (outer legs, arms, back, stomach and chest) they say that mine is 'dew drop' psoriasis as it looks like I've stood in a puddle (denser nearer my ankles and spreads up from there). I also have it in my scalp, which again comes and goes.

[AmyC86]

[bananafish81]

Will come back for personals and to wish our thread goddess Rosebud all the luck in the world for tomorrow (and stealth for Tuesday!)

But just wanted to pop in and share a bit of news...

Omg. Caved and tested early - today is 8dp5dt and OTD isn't till Thu (12dp5dt)

But a very solid BFP line on a FRER!!!

Cautious as it is early and it could fade. But cautiously optimistic!

[RoseBud2016]

OMFG!!!!! I knew it!!!!! Huge huge congratulations Banana This is incredible news! I'm so very pleased for you and hope with all my strength that this is it for you!

How are you feeling? Was DH with you? I know he wasn't keen to test early. So pleased! Xxx

[Dunlin1987]

bananafish I am so happy for you!!!! Fingers and toes crossed for you. I don't think it is possible not to get too excited when you see a positive line.
