PCOS support thread

[satsoooma]

Welcome to our fourth PCOS support thread. We are a welcoming bunch, all trying to conceive with PCOS, or suspected PCOS.

Here are the links to our old threads:
When To Expect Period - Provera
PCOS, Periods (or lack of!) and a lovely bunch of ladies
PCOS, Periods, Provera, Pals. Plus All The Bits In Between.

You should ring you're unit to find out if you can get an early scan xxx

Congrats boggle!!! How lovely!! Loving all this good news ladies! Xxx

I'm still lurking in the background until I play catchup with my appointments. Cannot wait till I am on this train! X

Pretty sure I get a scan but will give it a few more days.

Hospital appointment over, not good news. SA results not good so they won't give us Clomid as there is no point. Our only option is to go down the IVF route and we are currently not in a position to fund it. I've asked for a AMH blood test to see if I have enough eggs to sell to help fund. Life feels poo today 😢😢😢

Sorry to hear that infertility at least you're now on the right path rather than being in limbo xx

Wouldn't you get at least one round on the NHS?

So sorry to hear that infertility, I agree with Amy though you should get at least one shot on the NHS unless you have other DC?

Not sure if it is useful information but I had a private AMH test and it cost £100. I know that its a lot of money but just wanted to let you know as if you wanted one urgently and were prepared to pay you can get them very easily like that.

Yes you must stick around Boggle mate - we need your knowledge plus I love hearing back from all those thread graduates, as it gives a real boost to positivity.

I'm also feeling positive. Had EWCM, sore nips and a big urge to DTD over the weekend so hoping that Friday's blood test will confirm ovulation. Then it'll be 2ww territory for me :)

Amy when are you testing again?

Amy & Summer no I don't have any DC however I don't get any further NHS assistance as my Husband has 3 teenagers from his previous marriage.

They have taken my blood today for the AMH and I'll get the results in 3 weeks.

I know we know what to do next but I am absolutely gutted that our natural chances are almost impossible. No local hospital does egg sharing locally if you have PCOS so I'll have to take regular trips from the East Midlands to London if I am a suitable donor. If I am not a suitable donor I will have to accept I will never become a Mummy as we cannot afford ICSI IVF. We just don't earn enough, and the child maintenance bill is nasty to save it in the time frame I would cut off age wise for myself.

Just feeling very negative today, having a good cry to help ease the pain 😢

I'm really sorry to hear that, hugs for you.

Give yourself time to cry and make sure that you look after yourself. We have all been in those deep and dark places at one point or another - its why we are all here for eachother to support eachother through this.

Thanks Summer

To add insult to injury my body is playing mind tricks on me, I'm on cycle day 44, (usually have 31 day cycle with max 34) with no pregnancy symptoms or AF symptoms. Had a tiny bit of brown spotting yesterday and again this morning, 3 BFN tests and yet my mind still wants to cling to the slim chance that I am actually pregnant and added to it is my Husband is clinging to the same hope and making me think it is a possibility instead of being sensible and know this could just be a very delayed AF due to PCOS

Yaaaay @Boggle I'm so happy for you!! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Thanks Never

Well I think that I ovulated a week on Friday so any time between Friday and Monday xxx Im already itching to do it though!!!

Hold our Amy! Not long to go!

I know xx keep everything crossed boggle

Everything is crossed. Thinking of you always and wishing it was next week!!

I wish it was Monday so much!!!! Xx how are you feeling today boggle has it sunk in a bit more yet?!?! Xxx

Today I don't feel any different. Boobs are heavy and tingly/sore around the nips. Still constipated, which is driving me mad. I do feel like I'm visiting the loo more often for a wee - but I don't know if I'm doing it to check frantically check my knickers. CM is thick and lumpy, something I've not experienced before.
Woke up this morning with a bit of a sore throat and blocked nose.

No, it's not sunk in at all! I left a message with the fertility clinic to hopefully book in for a scan. We were talking about names (we have a girls name sorted) which is weird! I'm convinced we'll have a boy xxx

AF has officially arrived so fingers crossed for AMH results and my last option to become a Mummy. Congratulations to everyone getting the results we all hope for. Not looking forward to putting my body through IVF

Any I had a sore throat and blocked nose pre bfp. I'm still getting pregnancy rhinitis I'm telling people it's hayfever x

fluffy Im thinking that it's a positive sign xx my nose has been randomly running at times for a few days xx

I bet it feels weird boggle I'm so excited for you xxx hopefully I'll be joining in the club next week myself!!!!

You can tell me to bugger off if I'm talking about it too much. Xxx

No way!! You've waited far too long for this!! Embrace the moment & enjoy your lovely little secret. Have you decided how to announce it to your parents yet?!?!?! I bet your mum will bleeding burst boggle 💖

MIL will not know what to do with herself and will ask all sorts of inappropriate questions about how long it took she doesn't know what we've been through.

My parents will be chuffed but they're pretty chilled so should be easier to deal with! Guess we'll just go round with a scan photo? We'll have to FaceTime FIL as he will have moved to the West Country by then which is a bit rubbish.

Tbh, I think I'd have the same issues as you.... lovely but nosey MIL & easy going parents xx they'll be happy all around though!
