TTC with PCOS (Lucky Thread 5)

[Shellbell0403]

Hey everyone,
If you would to chat, rant or discuss TTC with PCOS with a lovely group of people going through the same thing and with some wonderful knowledge and experience then please join us ☺

Will post the links for stats etc shortly ☺

Village i know what you mean but if you adopt a baby or a young child then we are giving them the chance of a new life plus your family would love them just as much. My family have took on my two Step daughters as their own and love them as their own... wine and crisps 😣

fluffy you may not get any disappointment plus your not alone... you have us!!

Fluffy Are you going to get a blood test on day 21 to confirm it worked? That's what I done by booking in with my GP. I seem to ovulate on around day 16, but everyone is different. Are you using OPK's? They aren't always accurate for me, but I had a positive today off the clearblue smiley test.

Shell I have 2 close friends who have children through adoption, it's such a beautiful thing and those kids are so lucky, but I believe the process is gruelling. I'm not sure they'd consider me due to my PND.

Village im doing opks and bloods at day 21 or as the Doc recommended 8 to 9 days post suspected ovulation. Same here i have history of depression so adoption probably out!

fluffy I was so despondent last month as my OPK's did not pick up on ovulation, so I was delighted when a blood test confirmed I had indeed ovulated. We are trying not to rely too much on them and are trying to just dtd every other day (from day 10)

Same here village. Its difficult as im very dry and uncomfortable down there so sex even with preseed is painful. Im not holding out much hope

Thanks you. I live in hope that DP changes his mind. I'm also worried mumps has affected his fertility. We won't know unless he gets checked out, and, given he doesn't want to try again, I can't see him being bothered.

Maybe after PCOS, two MC and possible sabotaging by mumps, someone is trying to tell us something...
I should be glad I already have two DC. Previous relationship though and I'm just so desperate to meet our little person who would be a part of DP and me. I just feel like they're waiting in some kind of cosmic waiting room. I can almost smell their sweet skin

Frazzle

Hey all,
Hope you all had a nice bank holiday weekend.
So after a 144 day cycle I came on today - yay!! I felt what I thought was ovulation pain two weeks ago on holiday, the day after getting so drunk I was sick. The very few times I have ovulated seem to be brought on by alcohol.

We also have our first consultation this month and husbands SA in July. They couldn't do the SA first unfortunately.

frazzle sending love!

Barsons Woohoo! That's great, hoping this cycle doesn't last a long plus if it does the clinic will give you something! That was the same as us, we went for our app then bloods and samples.

Well I have my bloods today! I think it's a day early but hey ho, the clinic said to still go!

Hi all I hope you don't mind me coming back now. I would love to say I'm feeling more positive but I'm not. I will however try and put a positiveish spin on it
Hope everyone is doing well.
I have purchased some well woman vitamins (with omega 3 6 and 9, epo and starflower oil) plus some more inositol and I've ordered some NAC to give a go too. Have also requested a callback for an appointment at fertility clinic but not sure if we will get one as there was a problem with OH's SA. Hopefully just because of a misunderstanding so hadn't left it as long as we should have. Literally feel like every turn is a roadblock right now. And like you Frazzle, although for diff reasons, like someone is trying to tell us something. And I have a dd from a previous relationship so should be grateful, and I am, but OH has no kids and I ache for a baby that's part me and part him. Plus my ex was a class a dickface and was awful to me for my whole pregnancy and beyond and took away from it that I'd love to have a prooer excited happy pregnancy too.
Ok enough about me, looking forward to catching up on what you lovely ladies have been doing!
P.s hope it goes well today shell, and thabk you so so much for the pm's. You kept me sane(ish)!!

Nice to see you back mysterious Hope your feeling better (ish) We are all here for u as I said! Everything will be sorted regarding samples etc and keep chasing it up!!

To call tomorrow for blood results and prob back Friday for more

Seen this today... We are very strong ladies 💙

We sure are shell. Hope your bloods give you good news! Down there is less dry and some clear discharge today so hoping ovulation coming! I'm day 12 x

fluffly keep and eye on CM and keep dtd!! When stretchy and egg white then ovulation about to happen xx

dh couldnt perform tonight. This seems pointless

Don't give up fluffy remember they say not every night and as hard as it maybe, try not to make it all about baby making as then becomes regimented and will start to loathe it!

How's everyone else doing? amy susie not heard from you in a while xx

Im not doing another round of clomid after this ive decided its time to accept this isnt going to happen and field the never ending questions appropriately

Aww fluffy sending love!! I hate the saying but it will happen! I know it will xx

Thanks but I'm out. I can't do this it's too hard I've fallen at the first hurdle. Good luck all

Don't give up yet fluffy this cycle isn't over yet!xx

Hello all. Wonder if you wouldn't mind me joining in your thread? I did post on thread 4 several times but kind of fell off.
So a little about me....

I'm still relatively at the beginning of the ttc journey compared to a lot of you so I hope that doesnt matter too much.

TTC #1
Age 29
Currently CD7 of cycle 7.
I was diagnosed with pcos 5 years ago. Came off all contraception at this time, not because we wanted to try at the time, but I wanted to clear my system of all hormones and we also weren't concerned if we did conceive. Fast forward to November 15 and we decided to start 'actively' ttc.
When I was first diagnosed with pcos I was very overweight (bmi of 39), managed to get bmi down to around 30 but my Dad passed away in December laSt year and grief made me comfort eat and I put 2 stone back on. Started Slimming World last week and last 4lbs this week!

Anyway, I'm beginning to feel increasingly anxious about not being able to conceive. I'm on another thread but I'm not sure people get my anxieties with pcos and ttc. As I said really I've not been doing this for long, but I thought it would be nice to sound off to others who know what a head fuck ttc with pcos is (I'm absolutely convinced I will need some kind of help to get pregnant in all honesty)..

Hey pug welcome aboard! You have came to the right place! We are all in it together and will support each other as much as we can! This thread is for tears rants moans groans happy support and all!! Lots of knowledgeable ladies!!

Well done on the weight loss! That was fab! I started my healthy eating again from today and back to SW properly next week! I know it's hard but try other to get anxious about it, it's tough and can be hard going but we will all get there together!

Hi pug welcome! I like you, only joined this thred recently and all the ladies have been really welcoming. I joined for the same reasons too, another thread I was posting on I just felt nobody understood my PCOS worries and what was happening with me and felt sometimes ignored when I posted.

Well done on the weight loss, I have been trying although lots of ginger nut biscuits just fell into my mouth the other day

glitter how you doing? Do you want to join the wee WhatsApp group too? Xx
