Numbers: Cycle 5/ Month 8
CD: 52
Circumstances: PCOS. First cycle on Metformin.

Rants/Raves/NFSQ: well I'm giving my period 6 more days to show up and then I'm calling my OBGYN to jump start it. I'm pretty irritated with my body, I had high hopes that Metformin would just magically make this happen. What' a joke, I should have known better. Plus my body had me tricked when I started having spotting at CD 44-47. It was dark brown and I had cramping on CD44. I really thought it was possibly implantation bleeding and took a test CD 47. Of course it was negative. Don't know if I was to early or what, but I don't want to test again till CD 60. It's also depressing that two more friends on FB announced that they are expecting and two family members are getting are at the end of the pregnancys this month.
[snip]

Just my two cents, I am no PCOS/metformin guru and this is totally anecdotal so please take this with a grain of salt.

I was started on Metformin after my dx in March. Besides tummy troubles and it shortening my cycles (like chopping them in more than half) I really did not see many changes in my ovulation patterns so we scheduled an RE appointment for last week. We were all set to start Femara to get ovulation going, when my blood work showed that I had actually ovulated on my own in May. We are now waiting to see what happens

TL;DR Any type of medicine takes time to build up and start showing effects in your body.  I know how frustrating having your body not do what it's supposed to do. Give your self a little grace and the Metformin a little time to see if it does it's thing. Best of luck to you!

To everyone else...I can't quit you.

Normally don't post during the day but I have some more free time today and I just got my next hcg draw results. Hcg is only 343. Last week it was 415- If my level dropped 40% (which it did the last 2 times) it would be 249 which makes me a little nervous it didn't drop more. They want me to go to every-other-week tests now. I don't love getting my blood draws every week but I do look forward to the info. A 2 week wait feels a little like torture.

Sorry the numbers weren't what you were hoping.Was the nurse concerned about them not being lower, or it just means longer waiting? Could you ask to have it done weekly anyhow?

Sounds like as long as they go down I shouldn't worry.  I thought they would "half" but I guess that isn't the case.  Hopefully that means it can plummet out of nowhere too!  My initial hope of hitting negative by the end of July seems a bit lofty now.  Who knows how long this hCG will decide to stick around.  At least I have WTDS ladies while I wait!

mosdub Sorry your numbers weren't where you wanted them to be. I hope they start declining faster for you.

Hoping those numbers take a nose dive for you! Sending you all of the good vibes!

Numbers: cycle 10? Or 11 I've lost track, 14 AL

Circumstances: benched by my doctor until my thyroid gets straightened out

Rants/Raves/NFSQ: I think I may not be coping with being benched well, went to a second hand store with a friend and bought a bag full of baby clothes. I don't know why I did it, even before my MC I didn't buy a single baby thing. This might be a trigger for me later but it felt soooo good in the moment

GTKY: What's the best date you've ever been on? In highschool went on a date with a crush. We connected well and ended up going mini putting and talking by the water until 4 am (literally just talking). Turns out they locked his van in the mini putt course. Had to call his dad. It was an amazing date and we broke up only after he moved across the country.

ihatepizza Sorry you find yourself here. I'm also dealing with Thyroid issues. Are you hyper or hypo? I hope your levels return to normal soon.

[mosdub]

Sorry you're here ihatepizza, hope your stay isn't long.

[TheEleventhHour]

Hi ihatepizza. Sorry your thyroid is a mess at the moment. I hope it gets straightened out soon!

[teachermomtobe]

rivers and roads, I hadn't planned to stop using OPKs after CD21 but CD22 and 23 I went out after work and the practicality of it just didn't work. Then I saw I may have O'd and decided to stop. Kind of wish I had caught O on an OPK. FX at keeping your CHs and FX for your interview!
LadyNymeria,that's so exciting about TTC! Yes, my CHs stuck around this morning. A few more and I'll actually believe it!
mosdub, Sorry your numbers didn't drop as much as you'd hoped.
motleycrew90, Sorry your body isn't cooperating. Hope you get CD1 soon!
cheshie6, Yay for CD1!

A few more days of high temps and I'm going to venture over to TWW. I feel so comfy here with you guys though but the thought that I may have O'd is exciting! A close friend told me today she's pregnant. She was definitely nervous to tell me because we have been very open with each other in the months leading up to TTC and she got pregnant first. I am nothing but happy for her but I have a feeling if I don't get pregnant this month I will be sad. *sigh*

[westisleflower]

motleycrew90 Sorry your body isn't cooperating The Melting Pot is the shit though, DH and I love it! But we haven't been since our first anniversary.

cheshie6 YAY for CD 1! Happy for you!

[TheEleventhHour]

teachermomtobe Yay for your temps staying up and your CHs sticking around! Good luck!

But for real, penguin129 is right! It's enough of you to warrant a going away party. Good luck, ladies!

ihatepizza (i still just shudder when I read your username, I'm sorry)- sorry for the mindmess that your body is sending you through. I hope you get to leave us sooner rather than later, but we are happy to have you in the meantime!

Thanks for all the love yesterday ladies! I am feeling much more like myself today.

So happy for all of you moving on. You all will be missed but I will be stalking you and handing out love tits to you in the TWW and wherever I find you!

Sorry I have have not been the best WTDS'er this week but I hope you have all felt the love of my love tits!

Glad you are feeling better! Bad days happen to all of us

[penguin129]

gooselover2012 Love your House Gif. You're so cool!

[wanderingheart]

I will be coming through to properly give out tits, so get ready. Sorry guise, I warned you work sucks this week.

Numbers: CD 24, cycle 4 month 10. month 10?! when did that happen?!

Circumstances:PCOS, low sperm count.

Rants/Raves/NFSQ: So I've kinda given up on temping after this morning. I mean I've been halfheartedly doing it this whole cycle...but after a 2 degree temp drop, I'm just over it. That can't be right. That's never happened, I didn't drink, didn't wake before temping or anything like that...I don't know what's going on, my body is not going to get it together, I'm not going to ovulate on my own, and I'm over waking myself at 5 every damn morning. If my own RE doesn't think Metformin is going to help with ovulating or cycling, and is banking on IUIs, then why should I continue to temp? #overit

GTKY: What's the best date you've ever been on? During our first year of marriage, MH and I went on a weekend getaway and spent the day thrift shopping at local craft markets, ate at food trucks, then got all dressed up for a fancy dinner and a play. It was really awesome.

ETA: now that I've read through the thread - hugs to you gooselover2012 and congrats to all those who are graduating - especially LadyNymeria! I'm so happy for those going to the TWW/WTO. #getouttahere

[penguin129]

Sending hugs to you wanderingheart. I hope the break from temping helps you find some relief from all the stress you're having.

Thanks penguin129. I was hyper since I was about 13 years old. I had radioactive iodine earlier in the year which left me euthyroid. Since February I've been feeling terrible exhausted, head is foggy etc. The hypo diagnosis came as a relief and I just started synthroid hoping I'll feel better. Are you hyper or hypo?

[ihatepizza]

wanderingheart, sorry about all the stress, I also feel like cycles have been creeping up on me. I hope the break gives you what you need *hugs*
