Ok--I am coming out of the closet--maybe

Well, I am sort of thinking of ttc again---I guess what got me started thinking that way was my neighbor recently went thru IF tx and is now pregnant with twins. I got to thinking about my bio clock--and the fact that I really wanted a child when me and my ex lost Olivia. The flip side to this is, A. I am 110% scared it will happen again ( the hypo plastic right heart syndrome as we have a 3% of it happening again the onset is usually GD, and I have had that with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancy, though I have been tested after and no diabetes is found) B. New DH is not 100% on board-his comment is I understand what you are thinking, however, I do not want to burn through savings , if we try naturally and it works great, if it doesn't count our blessing ( he has 2 kids and I have 2 kids) as I do not want to go thru IF/RE.

I have had all 3 of my kids with out meds-however did try for # 2 with IF meds--did clomid, then Gonal F x 2 with IUI and was told my only chance was IVF--and then a few years later I had 2 children with out meds. So I agree with him somewhat on the no IF/RE expense.

I do have PCOS--was on BC and quit taking it 6 months ago--have had normal periods ( every 30-32 days) UNTIL this month--I started temping mid cycle--dont ask me why I waited but I did, now I am on CD 40 and no AF and no pregnancy--temps indicate no O, and they actually dropped the day before yesterday and yesterday now today they went up--

Could you please look at my chart and tell me what you think--and I have been feeling the AF cramps the last few days--but for the past 1 1/2 have had sore BB's when I never have that--last night I had gobs of EWCM more than I had when I recorded earlier this month and we bdanced this morning--but think it was a waste of time..

Tell me what you think

I think this is how you get to my chart---

Hi!

I am no expert.. just from what I have been going through myself. To me it looks like PCOS issues... I would have the ewcm a few times in a month with no real O until I started taking MET.

On the other hand, you are missing the first half of your cycle, so you could have missed your real peak... Just grasping for something.

This could just be an off month!

Good Luck!

We are also ttc naturally. I have been pg twice and both have been natural. No pgs ever resulted from cycling with fertility-boosting meds. Go figure!

I have been having excessive bleeding and very short cycles so I am debating seeing a fertility-interested GYN or an RE, just to get my cycles better. DH is not interested in going, so no IUI or IVF. If I were you I would ask for something inexpensive and long-term. I will be asking for blood tests, progesterone supplements, and possibly clomid on occasion. You could ask for metformin and on occasion, clomid.

I am currently on Met 1500 mg ER daily and have been for about 2 months..

shelia...i looked at your chart but you're missing some key temps that would be most helpful. you said your cycle is usually 30-32 days....do you O around the same time each cycle? or do you not know when you're O'ing unless you're looking for it?

She67 · 09-03-2009, 04:44 AM

I usually do not know when I O..as I was never looking for it--and really I never really have alot of EWCM or cramps etc ..Yeah I know I just decided to chart in the middle once I made my mind up to do this--sorry---
