Well havent wrote any posts in the last
couple of weeks been sooo busy!
Last post I wrote about was how I was
getting stomach cramps, sore boobs and
feeling really tired, I was really
confused because I have pcos and havent
had an af since feb and all the hpts were
coming bck negative............ Well it
turns out I am not pregnant but I did
finally get an af on the 25th august!!!!
Whoo hoo!!
Also I had my long awaited appointment
with the gynae on monday, I have to do
some blood tests, one tomorrow and other
on the 21st day of my cycle, not sure
whats thats for! Then I have to go back
in 7 weeks 23rd oct and if I am still not
pregnant then I am being prescribed
clomid. Oh and my poor man has got to do
a sperm sample too just to make sure his
little swimmers are all ok! Lol
i just wanted to let you know what was
going on with me anybody else had any
news?? I am trying to work out when I
should be ovulating next, I know because
of the pcos theres a big chance I wont but
I have had alot of cm today so fingers

Glad to see you back jolie. It seems
like things are finally moving in the
right direction for you. I'm glad to
hear it.
I was just diagnosed with pcos. I have a
follow-up next week and will probably
start metformin.

Thanks hun! Yeah things are looking up
for me! I am getting excited about ttc
again which I havent felt in a long
time.
Sorry to hear about pcos, but its good to
hear we are both getting some answers!
So how does metformin work? Is it the
same sort of thing as clomid? What are
the differences between the two?
Well it certainly sounds like we are in
the same boat at the moment, so to speak!
What part of your cycle are you at? The
pcos mucks it up soo much for me but I
really think I am ovulating again, I am
getting the same sort of things going on
as I did last month. Which I am feeling
really hopeful about.
Good luck at the follow up appointment
please let me know how you get on, I
should be about a little more now that the
summer hols are over and aydans back to
school.

Metformin helps to regulate your hormones
I guess. It doesn't make you ovulate it
just helps get your body back to where it
should be so your cycles get back to
normal and you should start to ovulate on
your own.
I'm glad to hear that you are excited
about ttc again. Hopefully things will
work out for both of us. I am on day 2
of taking progesterone to bring on a
"period." I should hopefully be starting
met on thursday. I'll let you know how
it works.

Hi ladies,
mind if I join u ladies in ur chat
here..... I too have pcos... And am back
to try ttc again.
I was diagnosed with pcos last year
november and have been taking metformin
with clomid but didn't suceed. Then this
year in may, I got my husband to do a
sperm test....... Guess what, he has low
sperm count..... So even with me
ovulating at 100mg of clomid and 1000mg of
metformin, it was hopeless........ So the
gynae asked my husband to take some pills,
though it does little help, it ok to
try..... Tomm, he is going for another
sperm test to check if the sperm count is
high (then good for me, I can try ttc with
my medication) but if it is low, then the
recommendation for me is to have iui or
ivf treatment........
I have been ttc for 2 1/2years after my
miscarriage, and now then I know the whole
story....
Sometimes, the doctor wastes time by
talking to much like "wait n see", "u r
still young", "maybe loose weight", "try
for one more year naturally"........ I
heard enough n am seeing a lady specialist
this month to help me conceive..........
After a long break I am back with some
hope for ttc...
My new gynae wants to rule out all options
and narrow things so that she can offer me
the fastest solution to conceive...
So I have actually done a:
1) transvaginal ultrascan
2) rubella blood test
3) hormonal blood test
4) pap smear test
5) hsg x-ray (which I am going this friday
15/09/2006) to check if my falloppian tube
is blocked
5) sperm analysis test for my husband.
So there it goes, I am hoping after all
this tests n trying naturally this month,
when I see my gynae on 30/09/2006, she
will have some solutions for me or I will
have good news to tell her that I am
pregnant...
I am presently on day 7 of my
cycle........ I am charting temps....
So good luck!

Well sounds like an exciting time for all
of us! Loveable u certainly have alot
going on! Chris was meant to do his sperm
sample today but he's got thrush (a long
story lol) and he says its too painful to
do it at the moment!
Well I brought a basal body thermometer
today and I going to try track my
ovulation, I am hopefiully going to start
on the 23rd september as thats roughly
when my period is due, providing it shows
this month!!
Abbysmom- hows it all going? Is the
progesterone working?
Loveable- how long were you on clomid/met
for? I spoke to someone who told me
clomid made them feel really sick, did
this happen to you? Want to let myself
know what I am in for!!

Well, it seems like things are going in
the right direction for all three of us.
Loveable, you are going to be busy. I go
to the doctor tomorrow to hopefully get my
metformin.

Wow! That is abit odd! Well I am not
pregnant this month and so far a/f hasnt
appeared either, so its back to square one
for me! At least I dont feel to bad
hopefully clomid might sort things out
abit! Only 20 days till my next appt!!
Mummy2be keep me posted on how things are
getting on for you! Whereabouts in the uk
are you? I dont know whether I have asked
you before but I have a seriously bad
memory!!

good.

Well I have an appt on the 23rd october so
I should get the prescription for it then.
I am not sure how you take it tho, do you
have to start taking it at a specific time
of your cycle? If so I am not sure when I
can actually start taking it because my
cycles are screwed up again!!
How about the metformin? Are there any
side affects to it?

Yes, you have to take it at a certain
point. I think it is cd 5-9 but it has
been a while. My doctor gave me
progesterone to bring on af and them I
took the clomid on the right days.
Metformin has some side effects in the
beginning and as you increase the dosage.
I was lucky. I only got sick to my
stomach and only threw up once. Some
people get really bad diarrhea.
