Hi All! I'm sorry I've been missing. Work has been crazy and trying to post from my phone is literally a nightmare. I've been checking on you though

@phatgurl - what a crazy day Friday must have been for you. I truly do hope you get your BPF this cycle. Fingers & Toes crossed for you!

@pinkster - Best of luck! how is going?

@2firsty - I'm glad everything is going great with your pregnancy. Enjoy the big boobs! LOL

@Misscbl - welcome. Everyone is super nice here. You'll feel right at home. And yes, there is such thing as baby envy, baby bump envy. I have an 18-month old at home and I still long for a new baby. I get jealous and upset every time someone announces a pregnancy. It took us for ever to conceive our daughter and it's taking another forever to conceive this time around. Last week I found out my brother's wife is pregnant. They were not even trying - they were done having babies and boom I guess they are not. I wished them the best but I couldn't help but think and vent with DH, what the heck? Why them and not us. Also, now that the weather is getting better and we don't have to be all covered up I see baby bumps everywhere and I mean everywhere and I long for my very own baby bump. Ugh The struggle and suffering is real!

@Aniayka - We all DO understand how HARD and HEARTWRENCHING trying to conceive is! Most people are just ignorant and insensitive period. If they educated themselves before making assumptions the world would be a much better place. We are here for you though. Vent and rant away!

@waiting - thanks love. This cycle I'm taking:
Vitex
Maca
Bee Pollen
Rainbow Prenatals
CoQ10
B6
Inositol
D3
Fish Oil and
Cordyceps
Should I be adding something else to my regimen?
I think you should go on vacation. Nothing heals the spirit more than a few days away from everyone, some sun, some sand and some cocktails. You've been through a lot and I think you and DH more than deserve this time away! If you do decide to go (and we all agree you should) consider going to the Naples Beach and Golf Resort. It's right on the water and some of the rooms are literally 40 feet from the beach. It's really a fantastic place and they have great deals going in May and June. But wherever you decide to go - just enjoy it!

@EBordeaux - Good luck! Keep us posted

AFM - Nothing to report really. Today is CD8 and I've been seeing a surge in CM since CD6 so I guess I should be OVing soon although OPKs have been negative so far, which is fine with me since today is date night and I really, really need a cocktail!

Happy Thursday everyone. I send you love, prayers and lots of baby dust.

Her sister doesn't know she's been TTC all this time. She does, however, know she's had a miscarriage, so you would think that would come into play, right?

Ebordeaux - test!!

Aniayka - your weight is rleated to your PCOS, not the other way around. Have you had any testing done to see if you have MTHFR mutations or other disorders? They often go hand in hand with PCOS.

Misc - where are you located?

I'm still testing out my trigger right now. And waiting...

Misc I'm UK based :)

Hoping, I know you know and I am really greatfull for you girls.

phat, no idea, what are those mutations even?

The long story of my weight/pcos is that late 2012 I started using contraception (rings that you put into your vag)
I ended up with some sever alergic reaction manifesting on my lip (I looked like this guy http://cdn.iwombo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/bug.jpg and about month later I ended up on a surgical table with my intestines and bowels not working AT ALL. Apparently there was a fluid in my abdomen that stopped them.

Anywho, since then I regulary visited hospital with huge abd pains and started gaining weight. The gastrointestinal problems stopped when I stopped using contraception, but my weight since then was climbing.
My first missed period I had on the begining of 2014 and then everything seemed to be back to normal. When I got over 80kg aroundlate 2014 my periods went wonky again, and are like that since now. I lost 10 kg being on a diet, and regained it back and then some withing few months.

My bloods are book-perfect (always have been) and they don't even sugest PCOS, only the scan shows the cysts, and I have suffered hirsutysm since forever (also not caused by hormone levels). The gyn said I need to drop down 10kg and then she will get me on metformin (in 4 months) I am still waiting for dietician apointment and I'm terrified, This week I've been eating healthy, cut the bread and butter off, 5 times a day, every three hours, and.. gained weight - -; Personaly, loosing those kilograms seems like an imposibility.

Hope that whole story wasn't tmi. I am terribly teary and depressed and weepy lately.

Aniayka - Metformin could help you lose the weight. You should talk to Tara. She knows tons about PCOS. The mutations I mentioned sometimes go hanf in hand with PCOS. Tara knows a lot more about it than I.

Not to get anyone's hopes up, but my lines today are a bit darker than yesterday. I'm going for a beta in the morning & again Wednesday. Maybe jumping the gun, but I'm okay with that.

Oh my Phat, waiting with baited breath, keep us updated Im 12dpo, will test tom morn, already had a at 10dpo to all -x-x-x-x-

Pinkster - good luck!!

Phat, keeping my figers crossed. Good luck!

Hey phat, gotta good feeling bout this! Hugs!

@phatgutl, I can't wait until tomorrow. I hope your betas are super awesome. Fingers crossed!

@pinkster, sending prayers your way. Good luck!
