WAITING TO DO SOMETHING ** 6/15/15**

[bl1210]

Numbers: month 10/cycle 8/CD 31

Circumstances: PCOS/1000mg of Metformin

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: After talking with my MIL who is a nurse, she thinks I should ask my doctor about increasing my Metformin to 1500-2000mg/day. I have been on 1000mg/day for 4 months and I haven't noticed a single improvement. She said I should at least see some weight loss improvement since I'm working out 3-4 times a week (2 days with a trainer). Those of you on Metformin, how much are you on and should I call my dr and suggest an increase?


GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? My middle name that I dropped when I got married - Lauren

[fem]

Numbers: month 1

Circumstances: Waiting for CD1 after getting my Mirena out June 18th so we can start TFAS. Also still nursing my 18mo.

Rants/raves: Just waiting. Seeing DD with her cousins made me really ready to try for a sibling,

GTKY: Since I have a name that's consistently in the top 10 year after year I would choose something a little more unique. Maybe Eliza.

[acorn99]

Numbers: month 3 cycle 2 CD34
Circumstances: long irregular cycles
R/R/N: I got so excited thinking last week was going to be my FW. False, it was not. But at least now H is back from his work trip. Now I must try and patiently hope that my body chooses to ovulate. I am so nervous I won't, and the last time this happened my GYN made me wait 120 before she prescribed provera. I can deal with BFNs, but the waiting for never ending cycles to end sucks. I realize it is only CD34 but I am feeling especially pessimistic today.
GTKY: This is a tough one! I like my name! Can that be my answer? I may have to come back later if I think of another.

[acorn99]

gooselover2012, FX for a true 1DPO !!

[penguin129]

Numbers: Cycle and Month 2 CD 28 DPO 13

Circumstances: Waiting on so many things. Mostly for my TSH levels to normalize and September

Rants/Raves/ NFNSQ: Rant: I didn't sleep well last night at all. I woke up with sweat all over me. I had cramps this morning and had to take Advil. Also we're waiting for DH's job offer to be final and hear what his salary is going to be. He accepted the job and is waiting for the school board to approve. I'll feel so much better once things are signed.

GTKY: I like my name. Maybe I'd change it to Brandy or Samantha (both names my parents picked out for me and forgot.

[nuggetrn]

gooselover2012, Hooray for possibly ovulating! It is exciting to get a +OPK for the first time! August will be here before you know it!


bl1210, I am not on Metformin, but from what I have learned it makes sense to increase your dosage if you haven't seen a change from the dose you have been on for 4 months. I would definitely call and discuss it.


acorn99, ((hugs)) I know it is hard not to worry about things that may happen, but try not to get too anxious about it just yet. Also, your GYN made you wait 120? Like, til CD120 to prescribe provera?? That is nuts, if you don't ovulate before CD60 this cycle I would definitely call and push hard for provera. I get maybe wanting to wait the first one out but if it is becoming obvious that this wasn't a one time thing making you wait 4 months to start a new cycle is insane.


penguin129, I hope the board hurries up and finalizes things so that you can feel secure about at least that part!!

[nuggetrn]

Numbers: CD44/7DPO

Circumstances: TTA until at least September.

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: So, cycles continue to be sporadic. I am planning on switching OBs when we move because we will be moving a good distance from my current OB and the hospital system we are currently in. Which I am fine with as neither of them are my favorite. I am trying to decide how soon I want to do this, because I think it is time to question why my cycles are doing what they are doing. I want to get established at a new office and go from there.

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? If I had to... This is hard. I would be willing to go by Paige if I really had to. I like my name though! Can I please keep it? Lol.

[ellabee]

Hi everyone! ::waves:: I'm Ellabee...tag me at Ellasmom because I was indecisive when I created my account...

Anyhoo, I'm mostly on my bmb and bfing board, but DH and I have been thinking about TFAS for a few months. I figured I'd jump in here instead of creating an intro because we aren't actively trying right now. I think maybe we'll start as early as next month, but we'll see. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Numbers: 15 months post partum. CD20.

Circumstances: Not actively trying. Still bfing once a day. Would like to wean before GKU.

Rant#1: We were supposed to close on a house on Friday but the seller didn't have a clean title. They're not sure if they actually own a piece of the lot they're selling. Grrr. Frustrating.

Rant#2: I stayed up to watch Game of Thrones last night and was so hyped at the end that I couldn't fall asleep. Now I'm trying to keep my eyes open here at my desk.

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
I'm alright with my first name, it was my last name that I couldn't wait to change. It was long and people were always mispronouncing it. I'm glad my married name is what it is.

[TheEleventhHour]

Good Morning ladies! Sorry I was MIA last week!

Numbers: Cycle 4, CD28, didn't temp this cycle so no idea DPO

Circumstances: TTA (Paragard in place) until next spring

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: Does anyone ever get EWCM after O? I didn't temp this month but I wish I had because I had EWCM on CD12, CD13, CD18, and CD27 ... WTF? And it was definitely EWCM. It was really, really stretchy. But today I am cramping and have insanely sore boobs so I feel like AF is right around the corner so it makes most sense that I O'd around CD13 (if it happened at all but I've never not detected O in the few cycles I have temped). Bodies are WEIRD.

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? Hmm, I really love my name so this is tough! I would go with Aoife (EE-fa) because it is probably my favorite girl's but would sound awful with DH's last name so I will never be able to use it.

[nuggetrn]

Welcome ellabee!!

There has been a lot of buying and selling of houses on the board lately (I am in the middle of it too)! It is a long and frustrating but terribly rewarding process! That sucks about the title!! How does something like that get resolved?

[Ruca]

Numbers: N/A

Circumstances: Possibly TTC this month but haven't officially decided yay or nay yet... We'll see. We saw our baby niece and nephew this weekend and baby fever hit DH hard so I could see it happening this month.

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: All is well, school is out over here so daycare drop off for DD is so much nicer and less hectic. Her daycare is across the street from a school

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? Um I never really thought about it... I love the name Charlotte.

[TheEleventhHour]

gooselover2012 Sorry your RE appointment is so far away but FX that you O'd!

acorn99 Hugs. Sorry your cycles have been so long and your doctor makes you wait that long for Provera.

penguin129 Sorry you didn't sleep well! I have been sleeping like crap lately too. FX for YH!

nuggetrn I need to find a new OB too. I loved mine during pregnancy but outside of that they really suck. I am not even a little sad about moving haha. Good luck with your search!

Welcome to WTDS fem and ellabee

[TheEleventhHour]

ellabee Ugh. Sorry about the troubles with the closing and title. I hope it gets resolved quickly so you can close!

The seller has to use a title examiner to see if they can track down the actual owner. The town may also have more information. As a last resort, they can claim adverse possession in land court... which can take years. Sigh.

Ugh. That sucks! I am sorry you are dealing with that. Buying/selling houses is the actual worst. Like you and nuggetrn we are selling right now and I told DH we are never moving again haha. 

[acorn99]

nuggetrn, yup CD120 and by the time I had gotten and taken it,it was a five month cycle. Thanks for the support, I will definitely push harder this time around.
ellabee, welcome!!
Ruca, its funny how baby fever can change plans

NEVER AGAIN!!! Lol.

[mosdub]

Numbers: 8weeks 4 days post D&C

Circumstances: Tracking hCG betas back to zero, I'm visiting family out of town so I won't get my blood drawn til Wednesday, then won't get results until Thursday. Hoping for a big drop.

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: I'm traveling SO MUCH this month! It's a rant and a rave, but mostly a rave. Right now visiting my cousin and her new baby, so I'm getting the adorable baby fix

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? I like my name! I don't think I'd change it!

[TheEleventhHour]

mosdub Fingers crossed for a big drop this week!

[TheEleventhHour]

moleymole Hugs. Sorry you're having a rough Monday. Accelerated summer classes are tough and house hunting sucks! I hate when I have cycles longer than average. And student loans can definitely EAD. We are going to be able to get rid of most of DH's soon but then I have mine coming up due. Never ending!

[penguin129]

gooselover2012 I hope you O'd when you think you did.
bl1210 I hope you get your dosage figured out soon.
fem Hopefully the next month goes fast for you and your DH.
acorn99 I hope your cycle ends soon.
nuggetrn Hopefully you can find a new Gyno ASAP and get your questions answered
ellabee Welcome!
TheEleventhHour I'm not sure about the EWCM after O. I stop checking CM once O is confirmed by FF.
Ruca Hopefully the next month goes by fast for you.
mosdub I hope your #'s are even lower today.
moleymole Sorry for the hard Monday you are having.

[TheEleventhHour]

penguin129 I usually don't pay attention to CM after O either but I didn't temp this month so I never confirmed it. But it was also so much it was kind of hard to ignore lol.

You must get a lot then. I have to check internally so that is never a problem. This is the only place where talking about CM is ok. LOL!

[bl1210]

Excuse the AW rant but I just got off of the phone with a nurse from my doctor's office (not his nurse). I was explaining my concerns about the metformin dose and my reasoning. She said "so you aren't trying to get pregnant or anything are you?" UMMMM...duh!!! She also tried to tell me that you gain muscle first before losing weight. I said well after 4 months of consistent exercise I expected to lose a pound or two??

/end rant

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Numbers: no numbers yet



Circumstances: weaning DS off of BF, still no PP AF yet, after 22 months.



Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: I just can't believe that AF hasn't reared her ugly bead yet. I keep getting ready every few weeks, then nada.



GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
Wait, aren't you going to try to guess what it would be? I like classic names. Maybe Ava, Caitlyn, or Olivia.

I need to go catch up on this thread. Will do it in a few!

I was horrible at the name guessing!  andplusalso I don't remember any of them anyways

It's so much easier to go by our amazing screen names lol. Every once in a while I think how funny it would be if someone in real life called me "Burritos." I'd definitely respond at this point!

[teachermomtobe]

gooselover2012, Your post just gave me so much hope! FX you actually O'd and yay for having an appt with a RE!
acorn99, I'm feeling super pessimistic today too. Hope your body decides to O this month.

Blah...can I come back and play?! See my RRCS below for more info.

Numbers: CD40, Cycle 1 officially TTC

Circumstances: TTC since May, off BCP since January without O

Rants/Raves/NFNSQ: FF gave me CHs in late May. I held my breath for close to a week before believing maybe I did actually O on CD23. On CD36, FF took the CHs away then gave them back on CD37 and took them away again today (CD40). I believe that FF is right and I didn't O but it's easier to be mad at FF than my own body so I will be. I'm just so over not Oing. My doctor said I didn't need to stop BCP until I was ready to get pregnant. Glad I stopped early because nobody tells you how long it might take to regulate. I know we're early in TTC but I'm just so frustrated with my body. Without O we have a 0% chance of pregnancy. Sorry *end rant*

GTKY: If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? I have a name that nobody ever spells correctly because it's not uncommon but it has multiple spellings. I'd change it to a name that is spelled correctly 99% of the time. I always liked Claire.

[TheEleventhHour]

bl1210 Ugh sorry you had to deal with that. It definitely doesn't make sense to not lose any weight at all and upping the dosage would make sense. Hope you get it figured out soon!!!

penguin129 TMI but I get a borderline gross amount so checking internally is not necessary haha. It just seems weird to have EW so much. I need to start temping again because I hate not knowing when/if I O!

[TheEleventhHour]

Hugs teachermomtobe! I hope your cycles regulate soon.
