Thanks celen and welcome latinata

Yeah I'm ok had a bit of a cry on way home. Just was really hoping there was no need to worry and I was being paranoid and all was fine. Bit of a kick in the teeth to hear actually there could be something getting in the way of all our efforts to get knocked up!! But ur right, I know lots of people with PCOS and who have had babies. Some with help, some without. And after all, I HAVE for pregnant twice over the last year so all is not lost. Need to not use dr Google for too much advice until I can see my GP.

How is everyone else's SMEPing/temping/2wwing/opking/dtding going?? I'm on the and tonight - cheers xx

havetobe I believe the traditional method of passing the time in the 2ww is symptom spotting like a loon. Update us on all of them so we can speculate, and try to hold you back from POAS 4 days post ov.

I am 2WW and currently panicking over cramping 6 days before AF is due!!

snowy I would suggest it was "a sign". I certainly wouldn't google it obsessively

Lucinda I have pcos and conceived my daughter and the two I mc on Clomid. Hopefully your doc will mention metformin, it's a diabetic medicine but also prescribed to deal with the insulin resistance associated with pcos. If you have any questions or just want to vent, pm me.

Google it obsessively... I don't even know what that means

Good news snowy fx it's a good sign!!

Thanks tiny I may take u up on that at the moment I'm feeling ok about it all - I gather there is a difference between PCO and PCOS? But suppose both wld involve problems with ovulation. I read about clomid/metformin - bit worried as I'm a bit overweight size 16/BMI 29. On slimming world and losing well so should get a stone off within a month or so tho (and now I'm even more determined!) just hoping the high BMI won't stop them giving me any medication if it should go that way. We will see, early days.

For now I am doing everything I can!! SMEPing, eating healthy, epo, and my acupuncture starts this afternoon so fingers crossed that will work some magic!!

FX Lucinda although trying to read too much into it, it might only lead to disappointment. Hope acupuncture goes well

Lucinda one of my friends had PCOS after her first child and managed to conceive her second after being on clomid. I don't know much about it but she does now have 3 children! Number 3 being a whoops moment after ds2 was born! I think her biggest problem was getting treatment as she was very young and had to be trying for a long time before they would investigate.

Well Giraffes so far I've had tingling nipples on Tuesday which is when I think I ov and yesterday all my ov pain had gone ( I had felt tender and a bit bloated for a few days ) but did feel a bit weird and twingy down there also noticed slightly warm thighs - how ridiculous do I sound? I am pretty desperate to fall pg now but not wanting to test to early as my mc in Nov was quite early on, so want to get past those weeks as quickly as possible.
snowy annoyingly cramping can be a sign of both but had been my earliest sign in my last two pgs before I tested. Good luck!

Exactly havetobecrazy, it could be a sign of either or of nothing at all. Trying not to read too much into it, but it's hard not too since I don't normally feel this way before AF comes so it is unusual. Either way, whatever if was or wasn't a sign of, it is gone this morning, so let the normal TWW resume

One way or another I will know next week (get me trying to seem all relaxed and calm about it )

Morning all ! Af due today, and I went abit mad yesterd and almost sent dh out to get some pregnancy tests haven't had any cramps as usual so I'm feeling very quietly hopeful but don't want to get my hopes up too high it's probably a rare period without any pains though, I have had a couple of them before in the past!

But just to be sure, shall I piss in a ramekin and save my morning wee before I go out and buy some tests ?!

snowy ooooh... Fingers crossed for you!!

houseHunting our lives just aren't like other peoples, i don't think non TTC people ever discuss saving their morning wee

It is a problem I get though, I refuse to keep them in the house or I would be constantly POAS - so whenever I feel I may need one I always have to wait until the following morning to do it

Yes fingers and toes very tightly crossed, but in a very calm not getting ahead of myself way of course!!

snowy I know, but it just feels totally normal to say and do right now doesn't it?!

wouldn't normally be caught dead saying this shit

And I don't keep tests in the house after literally pissing away the last £20 worth I had and obviously didn't even get a BFP!
Kind of like gambling. Poas roulette

Also, the longer you go without doing one, the longer you can live in the fantasy land that you are going to get a BFP - sometimes I am quite happy in the land called denial

househunting at POAS roulette

Oh arse, just got my period.

No roulette today!

Onwards to a BFP in February for us all

Oh arse indeed house but good positive attitude there

I have a question if that's ok?

I've got slight EWCM today, DP isn't back from working away until Saturday. And presumably we won't be able to have sex until Saturday night as I'm sure the kids wouldn't witness that

Will I still be fertile when he comes back?

Sorry af got you house. But yes, great attitude - on to the next one!

CD14 here and still getting negative opks and flat temps. I've never ovulated later than day 14 before... sods law it would happen the month we started DTD everyday from cd9 and now we are seriously running out of steam... Hope DH can find it in him for another few days as have just noticed lots of EWCM. Come on eggs!

IthoughtitWasafart great nname! I can get EWCM for several days before I ov, so you may well be OK. Do you use OPKs or anything else?

Well done ladies in the 2WW with the crazy totally legit signs and symptoms. Keep 'em coming so I can feel normal in a weeks time!!!

Getting plenty of EWCM here (not sure if I've disrupted things with the evening primrose capsules) but no signs of life on the OPKs. So it looks like we'd better keep dtd until something more definite happens. Then we can heave a sigh of relief and get some bloody sleep.

I hate poas and would rather wait it out. Seems silly but the only pg tests I've ever taken were 25 dpo when I was pretty sure I was upduffed! So I've never had a bfn even though it took 7 months to conceive dd. But I've bought a big box of ics this time so things may be different!!

Well my crazy legit signs and symptoms have disappeared so it's back to the normal 2WW. Will know all next Tuesday, but not feeling confident
