Since you haven't answered the questions in THREE SEPARATE THREADS as to why you changed your sn from tryingfor5 to vikingmidwife and then came back to GKU, PRETENDING to be a "noob," maybe you'll answer now that you have your own dedicated thread.

For fuck's sake. STOP posting in the IF Check-In.

For fuck's sake. Do NOT tell people how to post (specifically, telling @led that her language was unnecessary - when what's really unnecessary is you ignoring everyone's actual questions and lying about who you are).

Either answer the question about why you changed your SN and then decided (and continue) to pretend to be new, or go the fuck away. The ignorant act is old and really really stupid.

I fucking love you LOL

I'm like 90% certain she's just trolling the IF thread now. No one is that fucking unaware.

She's definitely getting off on being a trolling cunt at this point.

And I realize that a lot of people here are (shocker) a lot nicer than I am, but if everyone just stops answering her dumb ass questions as if she doesn't know what the fuck she's doing, maybe she'll either man up and answer or just disappear back under whatever rock she came from.

I just can't with idiots.


I also love that we can call people out here. I feel so FREE!

So, what you're saying is that we should stop feeding the troll?

At least on the IF Check In, which is supposed to be a safe place.

I feed trolls at my leisure. Really I just want her to answer or leave. If she doesn't answer - I want everyone to be aware so that when she inevitably comes back and just starts randomly posting as if nothing ever happened, they'll know to ignore her.


Plus this is my first call out - let me bask in it!

I've been temping for 2 years. My cycles have become more irregular and now that I am married I went to the doctor to get a work up. I have had increase in acne, high blood sugars and hair loss on my head and more in my face. The doctor did lab work which shows my LH is triple of my FSH and I had multiple follicles ok both my ovaries. So all those items lead to the diagnosis of PCOS. His recommendation is that since I am 36 with irregular cycles and my husband and I want to get pregnant sooner then later was to start metformin 1000mg XR daily and to take one month of birth control pills to help me have withdrawal bleeding... Then do do cycle day 3 labs and start femara. He said pcos likely won't improve over a long period of time and so our best chance was to try and get everything regulated and use the femara.

So how many times are you going to ignore the fact that we all know you're tryingfor5?

Let's review.

Aug 17, 2015 14:40:57 GMT -5 vikingmidwife said:

Hi all...

How long have you been trying to conceive? NTTP x 6 months with irregular periods and long cycles >40 days x 6 months. Been temping for 2 years.

Do you have a diagnosis? If so; what is it? PCOS, NOT A FUCKING IF DIAGNOSIS Advanced Maternal Age (36)NOT A FUCKING IF DIAGNOSIS

Are you currently doing any testing or treatment? Just got diagnosed with PCOS past Monday.  Doing 1 month of Birth Control and Metformin 1000mg XR, then Femara next month cycle days 3-5 (along with ultrasounds and lab work) So I'm assuming you're seeing an RE, have gone through all the necessary testing, and your SO has had an SA?

Any updates?

Hello Ladies, <chidren mentioned>

Jumping in here. 36 year old mother of 4 children.  Recently remarried (he has 1 child) and going to start TTC #5.  I have been charting for 18 months TTA on FF.  Cycles are long-ish... I am a nurse and husband is a banker.  Look forward to getting to know all of you!

So in the span of two weeks you go from not trying yet to not preventing for 6 months?

Also, let's look at your charts. You say you've had 40+ day cycles for the last 6 months, but the cycle before your current one was only 33 days. And 41/43 day cycles are completely normal length cycles.

[frankenboom]

vikingmidwife OK it's official. You're either a complete fucking moron or a cunty troll.

Figure out which, and report back. I'm leaning towards the latter.

THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION PEOPLE WANT ANSWERED!

Are you, or are you not tryingfor5? Be careful with how you respond because we know the correct answer.

So no RE, then. Why do you only have 1 year of charts on FF if you've been charting for 18 months 2 years? Of all the charts you do have on FF, only the current one doesn't show ovulation.

So, either this whole thing is bullshit or your doctor is dumb.

I'm leaning toward bullshit, because your story in your intro is totally different.

[bunnyfungo]

So you had no issues conceiving 4 children before this, but before you even started TTC #5 your doctor just handed you fertility drugs?

Ok.

Lesson for troll-y trolls and users trying to sneak back after being flamed: do your homework, and make sure your FF charts make sense with your story. Or, you know, don't provide the links to them.

Well, she has PCOS so she's obviously infertile.

I'm 36 years of age. I know I have not ovulated yet because I have no temp shift. I've never had 10 days of EWCM before so wondering if anyone has had experienced this and if anyone with diagnosed fertility issues has this. Reason why I ask is my cycles are getting more irregular and I'm getting stray facial hair, acne... Wondering if I need a pcos work up

Please elaborate on this.. Also do you have your chart available ? All is see is a ticker, and why do I feel like you are heading to the wannabee infertile path ...

Uh....we all want to get pregnant sooner rather than later. That doesn't mean everyone should jump to serious fertility drugs.

Also, we all know you're tryingfor5. And you made waves then looking for an IF diagnosis, pissing off several women with PCOS and an IF diagnosis - myself included. Ignoring us calling you out for that is just making this worse.

And lastly, what is REALLY rubbing me the wrong way, and many women in the IF thread is that you have not been TRYING to get pregnant. Yes, you have been charting and temping which is great. But you have not been actively trying to get pregnant for 6 months. I knew that my body was jacked up before we started trying, even though I did not have my diagnosis yet. But we still tried for 8 months before I got in to an RE...and all 8 of those months were anovulatory. You have had ovulatory cycles but are jumping to medication BEFORE even giving your body a chance.

Women with PCOS get knocked up on their own all the time. There are several grads here who have PCOS and got knocked up without medication. Some women need help. But the problem here is you don't know which one you are because you. have. not. tried. yet. Give your body a chance with the Metformin for a few cycles. If you have 3 cycles that are anovulatory, seek an RE. No sooner than that. 

It's really pretty simple.

Remember on TD, how we couldn't have call-out threads. This is a great reminder of how to properly BOAB.

Yeah, the bolded.

That's COMPLETELY FUCKING NORMAL. And shit that you learn in nursing school. At least I did. Sorry if your program sucked. It's when you don't have multiple follies that there is an issue.


See this ultrasound, with the "multiple follicles"? This is a COMPLETELY NORMAL OVARY

I taught my HIGH SCHOOL ANATOMY STUDENTS that multiple follicles were normal.
