Pcos, periods (or lack of!) and a lovely bunch of ladies

[YouBoggleMyMind]

Right here's our new thread ladies:

Ella, moomin, Amy, robber, danika, trying, Eskimo and anyone I have missed or is lurking.

5th cycle of clomid failed. Got an appointment 10th August to review our treatment plan. By that point I'll have had a natural cycle just using metformin and we'll have been trying for over 2 years.

Sorry to hear that boggle. Apparently I didn't ovulate last month on 50 so I'm on 100 and awaiting. Not had a positive opk but was away when I had Ewcm so didn't test. Do you know what your next step are?

At the minute I'm on a waiting list for a lap and dye and ovarian drilling but I don't really want the operation as there's risk of ovarian failure. I think I'm going to find out if I did ovulate and get my last round of clomid and then I'm going to discuss IVF xxx

That's a good idea. I'm only on month two and if it doesn't work they'll check my tubes. I don't fancy ovarian drilling I wonder if they'll just do one ovary?!? Just hoping clomid works

I hope it works for you too.
The clomid seemed to have an effect with metformin as I had good follicles this time round but I don't know if I ovulated. If I did and it's just that it didn't stick then I can kinda see things are progressing in the right direction and I'd like that other round of clomid to try again. The scan nurse wasn't an advocate of the drilling and asked how I felt about IVF xxx

Im just getting progesterone bloods no scans. Im becoming used to the idea my future may be childless but we'll see

I'm feeling the same way ladies boggle and lois it's just crap, everyone is know who wants kids has had them.

I've had the lap and dye back in 2011 which came back clear. First round of clomid didn't work and I only had a progesterone score of 1.2. I was also suppost to have scans but they couldn't fit me in. However, saying that. Following from this clomid I had a 75 day cycle and a natural period, my last natural period before this was June 2015. Im trying to keep my fingers crossed xx

This time I'm only having my bloods checked as again they couldn't fit me in for the scans!!!! Had a knee operation on Tuesday so only DTD once so far so I'm feeling a bit DH doesn't appear interested in the whole situation, I'm not sure if it's the stress of the situation or the fact that the whole 'let's get pregnant' is more like a timed monthly shop than a spontaneous trip to the park.

Also, I know that I'm only on cycle 2 of the clomid but my BMI is over 30 so I wouldn't be offered any more treatments until that was 30 or under. The stress of the whole situation is bad enough for me to reach for the chocolate box any way

I'm trying to do weight watchers at the minute. Missed a couple of weeks and put on 4lbs so now having to lose all that but going back to where I was. Just hope I can lose this week.
I'm just so sad that it's been two years and nothing has happened or worked. I keep being told I'm young and I have plenty of time but that just makes me feel crap!!

I can just hear my body clock ticking loudly. The trouble is, how long do you leave it before you realise that it might not happen & consider adoption.

I don't particularly want to be an old mum. My mum was 39 having my sister & she's still at home now & my mum and Dad are still very active parents - my DHs parents had both children before they were 23 & their lives are miles apart even though they're the same age. I've already said to myself that I don't want to be worrying about becoming a parent in my 40s, I'll just resign to the fact that I'll have a great sports car [laugh]

Same here Amy. I'm at the stage where I just don't know what I want. Do I even want kids? Is this someone trying to tell me something ? Should I just accept my fate ? God knows

Totally agree boggle it's the stress of the whole take these tablets, and the horrendous side effects & then the complete disappointment of them not even working & this is only stage 1!!!! Things aren't going to get better by any means, injections, artifical insemination etc.

Then theres the general public "when are you going to have kids".and skirting around the subject, it's difficult to come to terms with the pcos thing & people don't understand. I'd be nice to be able to say "we're not having them".

I'm just on a real big downer about the whole situation

Amy

I'm in the same place amy. My DH is so positive which is great but I just can't summon the effort to be positive at the minute. I feel so sorry for myself and feel like I'm literally waiting for IVF.

Totally the same boggle I feel like I've just been given these tablets as a joke.

To top it all off, I've only gone and got thrush [cry] could anything possibly get any worse! Cd14 slap bang in the middle of possible ovulation, DTD once on cd11. I think that even if I have ovulated this month I'm out. What a total waste of time, energy and horrendous side effects, I'm by far more angry this time too, which isn't doing DH any favours.

Is this a postive opk? Thought I ovulated last week this clomid is confusing

Top line looks lighter than the bottom, perhaps tomorrow? I've not used opks before so I'm not really an expert. I also got smiley digital ones so there's no confusion for me!

They look like this all the time. I think I'm going to give us using them lol

If you've got pcos you can regularly get false negatives. I used them last cycle & got positives all the way through & I didn't even ovulate when it came to the progesterone blood tests

I don't know then, as I said, I've not used them. I'm going to give the digital ones a whirl this cycle but not holding out much hope.

On a positive note, I've booked a spa weekend for me and DH on the weekend of our 2nd wedding anniversary in September. It's down near Southampton so we are going to go to Marwell Zoo on the Saturday and then we have a couples massage on Sunday morning. I can't wait xxx

Sounds lovely boggle it's my 2nd wedding anniversary in September too! What date is yours? We've been a bit more extravagant with ours as we're tying it in with my 30th Birthday which we celebrated last week xx we're going on a European tour of Prague, Munich, Vienna and Budapest xx on a shoe string though xx

We go to Wales for a week in the last week of August and then another long weekend in Bath (where we got in engaged) in November so needed to keep it relatively cheap and only one night as we've also got no holiday left!

Your trip sounds delightful amy. Our anniversary is 12th September. Xxx

I love Bath, it's a lovely town xx ours is the 27th September xx

Really looking forward to our trip xx maybe you should consider it!

Bath is our favourite place. It was the first holiday we went on as a couple in 2009 and we've been back every year since (apart from 2012 when we went to Paris). DH always knew he'd propose to me there which made it even more special for us.

My Mum and Dad also celebrate their wedding anniversary in September, on the 18th. eskimo is due in September too! Can't wait to meet her little one.

We are going to go to Rome next April and we'll do a family holiday in Spain again hopefully. And of course. A trip to Bath! Xxx

After missing two weeks and putting 4lbs on, I went to weight watchers tonight and lost 2lbs! Yay
