Rach its worth a try. Metformin always did the trick for me. I got pregnant both times I was on it. Maybe just try it instead of the clomid and see if that helps first? If thats not something you want to do then just ask for the clomid.Quote:

She said metformin wouldn't have done anything for me anyway.
Good luck whatever you decide to do Rachel! Your babies are so cute!
I have never even actually been tested for PCOS, just told that I have it. I have text book symptoms (overweight, excessive hair, acne, irregular cycles). I think I need to go be seen and talk about it. I tried to talk to my OB about it when I was there a few weeks back ago for my pap but since that wasn't what I was there for he didn't really talk about it with me much.Quote:

I'm terrified but trying not to panic in case that makes things worse :'( I'll be back when I can ladies xx
Oh Cookie, I hope everything is ok, please let us know as soon as you feel up to it!
Well I broke my own rule and tested this morning. I said to myself last night that if my temp was still up this morning (and it was the highest it's been with the exception of one day) that I would test. Well BFN on the FRER. So statistically speaking I'm out, it's not impossible that I could get a positive later but...realistically not happening this month.

Chin up CrazyCookie, I am a true testamont that some bleeding early on is okay. I pray for you as much as everyone did for me! Your early in pregnancy and it's normal to have a small AF and some spotting. Keep us Updated!
Hang in there cookie! I hope it's just some early pregnancy spotting! Sticky vibes!
Oh, Claire!!! I hope it is nothing serious and just pregnancy bleeding! I know that you have bigger things on your mind, as you sould, but if you find time please keep us posted! I have everything crossed for you!!!! Stick baby, stick! I'm sending you truck loads of :stickyvibes: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thinking of you!!!Quote:

We're not out til AF comes. Good luck!Quote:

I am actually just waiting for AF to come, due today but no spotting the day or two before as it usually happens. Usually, 5 days before at is due I have a really moody day with light twinges and cramps. Got that, so I think I should still be expecting AF today... But of course, doesn't mean I can't still be hoping!
Also, It'd be sweet if it happened, because my one year of ttc appointment is at the end of the month!
Good luck!!! I hope you are!Quote:

Hey ladies. Thank you for all the :stickyvibes:, they worked!!!! Once I got there they did a transvaginal ultrasound but couldn't see anything, they said its probably too early but my uterus is showing signs of pregnancy. I had another hcg test, my level was 415!!! So it had more than doubled since Friday :hooray: I need to go back to the doctors on Wednesday for more blood to be drawn and to test hcg again and maybe Friday, depending on what my doc says. So thank you ladies, baby is still sticking!!!
That is fantastic news! When will they do another u/s?Quote:

I already have one booked for the 5th of April and I'll be 6w 2d so I don't think they want to do something before that because they might not see anything again I thinkQuote:

It would put me at 14 DPO rather than 16 and that is more in line with what I would anticipate. While it doesn't really mean good things for a BFP as my last BD before the O would be -4 days, it's still theoretically possible (FF was kind enough to show me lots of nice pregnancy charts to confirm it's possible).
What do you think--keep or toss that temp?
:party::party: Yay CrazyCookie!! I knew you would stay in the November DD room!
Wooohooo :party::dance::hooray:!!!! Sooo happy for you :wub:!! Praying for a perfect scan Apr 5th!Quote:

Natalie, I'd toss it for sure...looks like you may have been fighting off a virus or something that skewed your temp a bit. Since it has no bearing on your fertility overall I think it'd be good to discard it :)
Natalie...that looks much better! Praying for a bfp :cheer:!! :babydust:!
Thanks Kelly, I think so too!
I agree to- your chart is looking good Natalie!!
And look at you on cd1 woot :hooray:!!! Lots of :babydust:!!Quote:
