Fingers crossed!
Since OV day I've been constipated, bloated with back pains ( lower back/ hips and mid), sore breasts and indigestion. Anyone want to diagnose?

Shellbell0403 · 23/03/2016 15:02

Just out! They said nothing on ovaries so she's taking it that I have OV and lining still 7.5!!

Drew how many days past are you?? Xx

DrewOB1 · 23/03/2016 15:03

5 days post OV I reckon.

Shellbell0403 · 23/03/2016 15:57

Hmm... You never know! Will keep my fingers and toes etc crossed... Iv been v.constipated too! Not nice!!
Have you to get bloods or anything done?

DrewOB1 · 23/03/2016 16:11

Not this month. For the chemical pregnancy and early mc, I had really strong symptoms until 2 days before they failed, so not hoping too much.

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 17:34

Hi ladies. Any room for a newbie?

Rosie
26
TTC#1
Cycle 3 (irregular periods 33-90days)

I've been diagnosed today with PCOS following blood tests & scans. Just waiting for DH results as well.

Any moral support/advice appreciated!!!

MagpieCursedTea · 23/03/2016 17:50

Hi Rosie, I'm recently diagnosed too (about a month ago) and have been out on metformin. Have your doctors come up with a plan for you? Or are they waiting for your DH to get his results as well?

Shell that sounds positive, what happens now? Is it just a case of waiting?

Drew no idea about your symptoms, fx it means something good though!

Shellbell0403 · 23/03/2016 18:20

Welcome Rosie... You have came to the right place!! I'm also ttc no1... It's a bumpy ride! Lol

Magpie yup just a case of waiting... Blood test next Tuesday to confirm and I'm effectively in my ttw...
How are you?

Drew sending hugs xx

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 18:37

Good to know I'm in the right place Smile thanks Shell

Magpie he's waiting for my DHs results before possible referral to a fertility clinic. We're off to Hong Kong on Tuesday so he said to go & see him when we get back. I don't really fit any of the PCOS symptoms (except irregular periods) so was a little surprised when it was first discussed as a possibility!

When did you get put on Metmorfin? What would usually happen now?

DrewOB1 · 23/03/2016 18:40

Are you sure it's PCOS and not a thyroid problem? PCOS can be a default diagnosis for " hormonally not quite right"
I've not been offered metformin:(

Shellbell0403 · 23/03/2016 19:07

Rosie I'm in the same boat as you... I only have Irregulare periods and find it difficult to lose weight all hidden until I come off the pill.. Enjoy your holiday and don't worry or think about it!xx

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 19:10

Thanks Shell lucky for me I have coeliacs too which means I'm on the lower weight side.

Drew ultrasound confirmed cysts Sad

Shellbell0403 · 24/03/2016 11:40

So ovulation is a d**k I feel pants!!

DrewOB1 · 24/03/2016 12:42

Sympathy! Body really makes you pay for wanting to OV.
I think my pains was OV too. I feel better today.

Shellbell0403 · 24/03/2016 13:24

I ovulated on Monday but today feel rubbish, headaches, bloated etc! Not nice..

Glad your feeling better Drew!

Everyone else ok... Been v.quiet xxx

DrewOB1 · 24/03/2016 13:42

Any twitches around ovaries? I still have those

Shellbell0403 · 24/03/2016 14:32

Yeah :( keep getting like wee twingy cramps! Not nice :(

Nurse15 · 25/03/2016 11:07

Hi everyone! I've been on night duty this week so been a bit of a zombie hence my lack of posts.

Hi Rosie i'm also 26 and TTC no 1 with PCOS - Soul sisters :)

Shell - did you get any positive opk's or anything? That all seems very positive. Fingers crossed for you

Drew - Fingers crossed you also ovulated!! Very exciting

I am on day 9 of AF, Hoping this means i have the thickest lining ever?? Silver linings and all that!! Decided to take a very small dose of soy isoflavones this month to see if that helps shorten my cycle any - taking 80mg CD 4 - 8. We will see what happens!

Shellbell0403 · 25/03/2016 11:50

Hey Nurse... Yeh I done one on sat and come up then when I went for scan on wed she said follicles had gone and she seen liquid under my womb which indicates this? No idea... Feeling pretty pants tbh...

How are you?

SincerelyRosie · 25/03/2016 13:19

Hi Nurse we are!! Smile how long have you been TTC?

Has anyone tried Agnus castus? I've bought some but not sure whether to start taking it!

Nurse15 · 25/03/2016 13:46

I'm good shell just tired with work!!

From February 2015 rosie what about you?? I took Angus castus but it did absolutely nothing for me, however it was before I was on metformin so might be a different story now. Definitely worth a go I think :)

SincerelyRosie · 25/03/2016 14:06

Nurse October 2015. Not as long as you! I'm waiting for a referral for the fertility clinic. I'm hoping they'll give me clomid or something! I'll give it a try until then. Thanks Grin so glad it's half term - exhausted isn't the word Confused

Shellbell0403 · 25/03/2016 14:39

I tried it and done nada for me too!!

Dunlin1987 · 26/03/2016 07:31

Hi ladies!
Sorry it has been a while...life has been a bit crazy lately!
I will do catch ups later when I am on my computer but just wanted a bit of advice...

As some of you may know I started Clomid at the start of this month (50mg) after not ovulating ever! Well I have just done a test today at 10dpo (early I know) as clear blue says you can reset 4 days early. Anyway, just did a test and got a very very very faint line. Does this mean I am pregnant or not? Don't want to get too excited. I will retest every day from now but just don't want the line to be in my head.

Dunlin1987 · 26/03/2016 07:32

Should also mention I did definitely ovulate! Had a score of 80 this time when it was 2 before (you have to be at least 30 to ovulate) xx
