Morning Sassy

How you doing ??? Sorry to hear your so stressed i hope things calm down for you over the holiday's..and you get a nice relaxation period.... i am started to feel much better now and my cold has gone...I rung up about my other gynae appointment and they cancelled it so i will start the clomid as soonas i get AF which should be in about 3/4 days time hopefully i am on cd23 and according to FF 11dpo and it says ive ovualted wooohoooo but im not sure if i have or not... cos i had the cold and a bit of a tempreture but i guess if i was pregnant that would be proof enough but i cant see it somehow...

Have a good day hunni...xxx

Hey Sassy

Thanks great news about your DH new Job the money weill definatly come in handy for you both espeically when you start thinking about ttc again cos you never know when that extra cash will come in handy...I want a job not really sure what but im just to dman picy for my own liking and DH's lol..I think i may just have to take retail part time or something just to get me back into the wing of things and bring in a little bit of cash but whats hard also is the fact then when ttc your constantly going backwards and forwards to the dr's and the hospital for bloods or something or another and it makes it really difficult to get a job that allows you to have so much time off all the time espeically in england there so tight about giving you time off for anything lol....

The cold is really getting to me too and to make matters worse my nose is still running a mini marathon and my cough is still bad so everytime i go out in the cold my nose gets worse and makes me want to stay in hehe...I dread going to the ATM or Post office unless its deemed totally nessiery lol

I have been getting AF type cramps tonight im not really sure what that could mean as AF isnt due for another 5/6 days and thats based on a 28 day cycle so i cant see why id be having cramps cos i never have cramps at all before AF only during really...im not gonna get my hopes up cos i dont really see the point but for if some miricle i was pregnant i would be so happy but i will just wait and see how i go...thank you for all your ++++++ vibes hopefully they will come in really handy...maybe if i am pregnant ill call the baby sassy after all your giving me lots of little +++ to work with....

Hope your having a good weekend hunni..take care enjoyyour sunday and speak soon....

Hello ladies! ++++++++ thoughts for you Teresa! I am actually looking forward to these holidays. I have been revamping traditional reciepes to be ones that I can eat so I'm excited to try them out on other people!! I can't eat flour or sugar so it has been interesting. I have started my weight loss anew and am determined to make it stick this time! Good luck to everyone!

Ellie : Sassy is so right you should put some of your reciepes on here we could proberly all do with cutting out some of that stuff you mentioned inclusing me..im a sugar freak sometimes lol... Thank you for you ++++ vibes im not sure if ill need them now tho as FF took away my lines so its saying i havent Ov'd now but i live in hope....

Sassy : I have Facebook & My Space i use them both way to much but facebook being the worst im on there constantly...As i said to Ellie FF took away my lines so looked like i may not have Ov'd after all but actully if not its ok cos ill start the clomid next cycle anyways so i got something to look forward to... I can understand what you mean about the work that seems a bit unfair for them to do that to peolple if they have a reason but i guess thats how these companys work unfortunatly...I hope you get the work situation sorted out soon tho and i hope that its not long before you get the TTC under way again.... I will PM you my email address, my space and facebook details and you can add me...On facebook you might have to write me a little note so i know its you unless it says sassy then ill know its you..i hope im making sence lol....

Me : nothing much going on with me cramps seemed to have eased off and FF took away my lines..so not gonna bother doing a pregnancy test unless i get some more symptoms of something lol or maybe if i get to about cd35 with no af then i might test just to see what happening..considering my last 2 AF's have been 23 days and 27 days im thinking maybe this one will be short aswell but you never do know with AF

Anyways have a good day all, take care and speak soon...

Hey Sassy

I hope that your work doesnt hold out too long on telling you whether your working xmas or not sooner you know sooner you can make arrangments...That will be great for you mum to come live you i mean its more company for her isnt it plus like you say it helps her not to stress so much over money all the time plus you get alive in cleaner lol J/K lol

I think i may just start a computer course or something cos im sick of doing nothing and i really need to do something its starting to irratate me some what...I am good with computers and good at typing relativly fast so i cant see why i couldnt do something with computers its just haveing the patients when they go up the creek and not wanting to throw them out the window lol...

Thats great that your not in pain hun..I know you suffer very bad with pain so its good that your having a pain free day..lets hope it continues that way...

I dont watch that programme your talking about its proberly not on over here i know we dont have that channel either...I do watch a lot fo american programmes...I like Americas next top model..I like to watch the E channel with all the hollywood gossip, I like Extreme Makeover : Home Edition I love Ty Pennington...Kevin (dh) reckons were gonna call a boy Ty when we finally have one lol were see im not sure about that...and i watch a few others but there is some of my favourites...

Have a good day i must dash...speak soon xxx

Whew, you are some talkers! I am pretty busy these days so I don't write long posts but I thought I would stop in here. I just started South Beach Phase 1 along with my DH. I am still nursing twice a day but in the process of weaning so I am not worried about the nutrition. I am not currently TTC as DH will be gone for 6-10mths next year, not sure yet, and my youngest is 15mths. I was dx'd with PCOS 16yrs ago and am currently at my heaviest non-pregnancy weight. I am not taking Met or Byetta at this time, I'd rather deal with the weight than the meds for now.

Hey LovemySgt

Its great to see you here hunni...good luck with the south beach diet i hope you find it works for you.. I havent personally tryed it before but i do know people that have and that are still using it and they have said it works well...so very good luck with that also good luck with ttc when you start trying again...Keep in touch and speak soon...

Hi there. I'm just popping in here for the first time.
I was diagnosed with PCOS a couple of years ago, managed to conceive my son, miraculously via IUI after a failed IVF cycle. We're now TTC #2, and I've just had a failed frozen embryo cycle and have no embies left. My DH and I decided that if the cycle didn't work out, that we weren't going to have any more fertility treatment in the near future, but would be concentrating on having a healthier lifestyle, and, in my case, losing some weight (DH is super thin, regardless of how much he eats).

So at the moment, I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. She should be here in a few days or so. I usually don't ovulate without medication, and my cycles are anywhere up to 120 days long, so it will be interesting to see if losing weight helps my AF to become more regular.

Good luck to everyone else this month - wouldn't a BFP for Christmas be great!!

I thought I put down dome more info. South Beach was reccommended by my RE a few years ago. I have 3 kids, 8yo, 4yo, and 15mths, all out of the blue after quitting fertility drugs. I was diagnosed at 13yo and told I would never have children, the doctors really didn't know anything about it back then. I went from 13-19 with only having 1 AF and from then I have had 1-3 a year. Recently, I had 2 in 3mths time (first PP AF) but I am weaning, which may be helping to get my hormones in check. I do know that when DD is fully weaned, I will go back to no AF again.

I have done 13 rounds of clomid, never O'd, and 3 rounds of Femara, O'd 1 time with no pregnancy. I have never been a candidate for IUI or IVF, had a HSG but there was no blockages. I don't have "string of pearls" but I do get cysts, have light hair problems, IR, and high cholesterol. My glucose, testosterone, and most everything else is normal. I am overweight but my BMI was about 36 at my heaviest weight ever so I would say I have a mild case of PCOS compared to some I have heard.

Hello everyone-
I have lots of recipes what kind would you like?? I made truffles, sugar cookies, thumbprint cookies, pretzels (still needs work), turkey burgers, stuffing, pumpkin pie, cheesecake...I've really good luck so let me know if there issomething you ar elooking for and I can try it for you!!! This is my new hobby/how I cope with it all! Have a delightful week. Mine has started off very well!

Cherie : I am glad to hear that you had a baby by IUI that is fantastic news and its hope for all of us that there is something out there that can work.Im sorry your last cycle was a bust hun that must be a hard thing to take but i guess in your case knowing that something has worked before its an incentive that keeps you going... Good luck with the weightloss hunni i hope it comes off without too many problems for you...and ive heard in a lot of cases that just losing 10% of your weight can improve your chances in my case that hasnt worked but maybe i just needed to lose a little more than 10% who knows...Good luck when you decide to start ttc again...Keep in touch...Oh and a Xmas BFP would be fantastic !!!

Ellie : Any reciepes would be great..Maybe you could do a reciepe a week or something to get us all in the festive mood... Unless someone wants something specific...I'm glad to hear your having a good week....

Me : Well im ok same old same old...still waiting for the hossie t ring regarding this clomid cos i hada phone call last week to say he would phone me monday with a yes or no...so i wait with baited breath...

Have a good day all...
