Hello ladies!
This is my second time on the forum. The first time I was blissfully in TTC, hoping i'd be one of those lucky girls that falls pg within a week unfortunately not! That was 4 years ago now. Since then I have done my degree, moved, got engaged (planning my wedding for september) got a dog and a new job.. still not pg! Not even an evap line!
I have always had irregular cycles but in the last two years they got progressively more WEIRD! So eventually we were referred to a fertility specialist, in January this year. They did some tests and confirmed I have PCOS, my testosterone is high (pretty obvious from my snail trail, thank god for wax!
) and they scanned my ovaries and saw lots of cysts (cue me crying like a baby on the bed with a nurse rooting around in between my thighs.. eek!) ANYWAY, they prescribed me metformin 2000mg which I took for a couple of months, but apart from the usual sickness and running to the toilet, I kept getting low blood sugar which made me feel really horrible so I stopped the tablets.
In this time my partner did a SA, and it came back a little low, but they are having him retest in a couple weeks because they said he might have been having a 'bad day' LOL!
Our next appointment at the clinic was meant to be in June but got cancelled :S GRRR, cried again! So they have asked me to start taking metformin again just on half the dose, which I will because i'm stubborn and I want it to work!
When I first went to the clinic I was 10 st 8 lb, I now weigh 9 st 7 lb from doing a low GI diet, but i'm still getting massive sugar cravings! Hopefully the metformin will help me lose the rest before my appointment because it was good for weight loss first time round (mainly because I kept puking!)
I have just had a progesterone blood test six weeks into a cycle to see if i ovulated at all this month, but I don't think i've ovulated in years tbh, and of course we can't use OPKS with PCOS.. brilliant!
I also have a slightly low thyroid so i take levothyroxine, 25mcg per day which is going to be reviewed in three weeks.
Anyway, that essay is my little TTC history. If anyone has any advice or just anything that might make me laugh because I have a lot of grey 'I'm so angry with this I'm going to eat whole bar of chocolate and cry' days!!
Much love and baby dust to everyone!
