I think I might be pregnant ....I'm probably not ....could be, I'm late and crampy ....or maybe I ovulated later than I thought ...My breast feels sore, I gotta be pregnant ...maybe it's sore from me poking at it to see if it's sore. LOL! Anyone else mentally wrestling yourself ?!

I feel kinda bad for her, you know? Why is she so angry? High blood pressure/anger isnt good for a possible baby.

I know. I felt bad for her after I was done being mad at her, but I'm the typical "angry woman," and I don't go around fussing at people because they don't tell my why they think my test is negative. Maybe she's teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown or something.

My My Ladies.....frustrated are we tonight lol
Well I dont know who you two ....are referring to......lol...but for the record...Im not on Fertility Drugs...or anything like that :)
Just incase.....yes I am highly upset...but I have every right to be upset...expecially after todays visit. Im hopeful, but this was NOT planned....nor expected. Yes it would be a good thing, but if its not pregnancy I wish someone would tell me why my hormones are going crazy. I got the Blood test back negative...Im trying to be optimistic...but I sware..I cant even do dishes without feeling like Im going to pass out. Im soo drained...and soo weak....and soooo frustrated. But Tonight I let it go....God will make it known to all soon. Today was supposed to be day 1 on my time of the month and nothing as of yet....lol...sooo we shall see where August gets us :)
Much love and pryaers to you ladies tonight. Sorry I tend to always think someones talking bad about me....sooo I wanted to make sure I did not say something you ladies did not agree upon. :)

Aprincessa - no way it was about you. This crazy lady went on a rant above one of her pregnancy test pics on here. That was the number I put in my first email about it. I told her to get over herself and I would tell you the same if you were being nasty! :-)

Oh dear no aprincessa!!! Back about 4 pages or so Phatgurl mentioned a girl on the hpt gallery that told everyone to basically go jump off a cliff because they were getting negative votes. Phatgurl mentioned the ref # of the gallery so I could look at her rant. Trust me hun, we were not talking about you!!!! We definitely believe something is going on with your body. Praying it's like your other pregnancies and you didnt get a positive test til further in. I'm worried about you. Are the doctors trying to figure out whats going on or are they just saying "you're not pregnant, go away"?

@Lammy- I know what you mean. They say that ovulation CM is like eggwhites and stretches over an inch between your fingers when you pull it apart. But I have that almost all the time anyways. So I cant test for ovulation wiht that trick. Thought about getting a basal temp thermometer.

I feel like a walking medicine cabinet . Lol. Morning-cinnamon pill & fertilitea. Afternoon and before dinner on days when I eat at my inlaws (butter on everything)- metamucil. Bedtime-cinnamon pill, fertilitea, prenatals, and Zyrtec.

Hi gals,
I binged and read this forum from start to finish today! I am not officially ttc, and use a diaphragm, but at ~5-6 dpo my bb broke out into the most extreme tenderness/pain/tingling/itching and then my uterus started chattering at me (cramps, burbles, etc.). I had a chemical pregnancy in April, also using a diaphragm, and this feels kind of similar (but hopefully sticky!). Last time, I figured out what I had done wrong to conceive, this time, if I am pg, no clue. I'd love to be pg, though my bf would prefer to be more deliberate.

But I'm posting less to share my story and more because I was diagnosed with PCOS about a decade ago and have become an old hand at it. PCOS is shockingly common, massively underdiagnosed, and even when diagnosed, mistreated. I think several of you have/might have it, so I thought I'd share what I've learned.

First, though it manifests as a gyn problem, it is at root an insuline problem, and in addition to fertility problems, it makes us at high risk of diabetes. So just treating the fertility problems but not the underlying blood sugar problem does a huge disservice.

The best way to treat PCOS is diet modification, metformin (a very safe, generic diabetes drug), and, I think, acupuncture. I've had success in getting my cycle mostly on track by doing all three. Basically, you should act like you already have type II diabetes: no sugar, no juice, no bread, minimal carbs. If you do, you'll see the weight melt away and your periods regulate. Metformin helps regulate your blood sugar and makes your insulin more effective, so your sugar crashes -- which make you crave carbs desperately -- are less likely to happen.

I recently read a great book, Gary Taubes' "Why We Get Fat" which totally shreds the sneering or giggling doctors some of you have had the misfortune of encountering. Being fat is not a moral failing, and most of what we have been told to do about it is wrong. His prescription for sustainable weight loss is the same as the PCOS-fighting diet: minimal carbs. The joy, though, is that nothing else matters. Eat as much fat as you want (and indeed you _have_ to), so....bacon!!! I've just lost about 10 lbs, keeping carbs to <70g a day and eating bacon often twice a day! My appetite regulates itself and my cravings for sweet things has dropped way off.

Anyway, the system so completely fails women with PCOS. It makes me so mad! If your gyn isn't helpful, I recommend seeing an endocrinologist if you can. They are actually trained to treat the underlying syndrome.

Welcome yikes/yay! And thank you for sharing. Makes me smile that you read the whole thing! Haha! Hopefully you got a few laughs. After my cycle passed 60 days, it hit me that I probably had PCOS. My sister has it and when I looked up the symptoms I was right...I had it too. It hurt but it was good that my doctor was flat out honest with me about loosing weight and correct the underlying issues. Granted I'm not huge by any means, I just carry weight in my hips/abdomen, which is the worst place and a symptom of PC. I'm apple shaped with chicken legs and skinny arms. When I read others posts on here sometimes I wonder if they have PCOS, especially when it runs in their family too. So far, I'm down 8 pounds. Cutting out 80% of my carbs/sugars. I have oatmeal with cinnamon and honey for breakfast, for lunch I have leftovers from dinner night before, snacks are fruits, veggies, yogurt, and dinner is close to the same. I actually cook very healthy. Small plates=small portions. A proper portion of protein, a bunch of veggies, and I've started replacing rice/pasta with more veggies. I'm taking cinnamon pills to help regulate my blood sugar (surprisingly my blood sugar has been perfect but my insulin levels are starting to get funky. So even though my blood sugars are fine now...a little later down the road they wont be if things get worse. I think my biggest problem is my love of sweets. I never buy them so they are not in my house but my parents and inlaws always put them in front of me. Hard to turn down. But I've been very good! I allow myself a little dessert once a week. And I mean LITTLE. Just have to learn that it's okay to say no.
What's your dpo???

urghhhh sorry story going to be in 2 halfs as wont let me post even tho its under 6000 characters

as we are all talking about PCOS i'll tell u my story lol ( sorry if its long lol )
so when i was 8 started docs told me i was too young and gave me meds to stop it when i was 11 all my mates at school had started but i hadnt i was soo worried that the meds i had messed me up but when i was 12 sure enuff she came ( and now we dont want her lol ) .
my was so bad i had to have a week off school and the pain i couldnt get out of bed the bleed was so heavy i would have to wear really thick pads or more then one ( sorry if TMI lol )
so they say it takes about a year to sort out the after the year things were still bad so my mum took me to the doc and i was given birth control pills these worked and i was on them for 3 years till i started to get pains in my legs .

one day these pains were so bad i was rushed to hosp i had a possiable blood clot from being on the b/c pill for so long and was told i had to come off it and try a diffrent type . as i wasnt i thought i would come off of it for a year to see what would now be like and she was worse then ever so after a year of being off i went back on a diffrfent type .

after being on this type for a year i was not happy with it so i came off b/c again for a year

................
im 18 ( not now but in my story lol ) been on b/c since i was 13 and only had 2years gap . i got into a relationship and was my 1st time in this relationship ( who is now my hubby yep ive only been with one man ) so i went back on b/c as didnt want a baby back then not long being on this b/c pill i was getting cramps all the time was painful as i was new to the whole thing i thought it was just that but it got worse so i told doc who sent me to the hosp he was 99% sure i had endometriosis as had all the symtoms and sent me for a laparoscopy in the recovery room ( when i was half out of it ) i was told everything was fine then the next mornign when doc came round before being sent home she told me i had cyst on my ovrys and had PCOS and that i had to go on yet another b/c to help with the symtoms so i went on depo the jab u get every 3 months .

was the WORSE thing i ever did i put on soo much weight in 1year on being on it i had put on 42lb-56lbs
so i came off that on went back on the pill but a diffrent one again and have been on that one for 4years .

so after the laparoscopy i went to my docs to talk about what to do and guess what the report they got back from the hosp said NOTHING was wrong so im so i just left it as it is .

from nov 2010 till feb 2012 i was having every 2 weeks ... i was bleeding for 1 week stop for 1 week back the week after and so on i went to docs and told them and they said it was the hormones in birth control and would sort its self out in a few weeks like i said this happend from nov 10 till feb 12 so i sat now with my partner and said i was coming off b/c in july after wedding anyways so why not come off it now so i did and of course the 1st was over the shot but at least it wasnt every 2 weeks then she came bang on every 28days for 4 months then the 6th month didnt come we was excited thinging it was but then i started getting right side pain ( u know the hosp trips i had not going to explain them again lol )
so had scan no cyst at all ( oh forgot to say in april 2011 i had a cyst burst ) came day after scan 2 and a bit weeks late very painful very heavy very cloty now just waiting to see if will be on time this month or a

i also went to the docs to get metformin for my PCOS and to help with my weight but as i have moved and they dont have all my notes they wont give it to me till i have tests even tho ive had a laparoscopy they want to do bloods mid cycle but i dont know when that is as is not playing fair .

so i dont know if i do or dont have PCOS

and with all the cramps i been getting the last week im even more as they are like the ones i had when i was 18 and had the laparoscopy but had scan not long ago and no cyst . so im
so will just have to see whats happening with then go from there .
also my mum took clomid for 10years to get me and my brothers my aunt cant have kids and has endometriosis and PCOS so i have always been worried if i could have kids or not

sorry about my mega long post but i hope this helps explain my story abit better
