A few months on, a few months off, no rhyme or reason. I've never been anemic and when it's gotten too bad I used NPC to make it stop. That is until this last few months. I've been super busy, working my a** off. I've tried a couple of times to use NPC but is hasn't worked. I even had one day of extreme flooding (filled the diva about 15 times in a few hours, that's like 2 cups of blood, gross!) I thought about going to the ER, but I've done that before and it doesn't help and it's a seriously bad time. I ended up slathering on NPC (way more than you're supposed to use, but oh well) and the bleeding slowed. That was about a month ago. A week ago I was able to take some me time, and I ended up just laying around the house. After a couple days the bleeding stopped! I was so happy. Well yesterday I went to the gym, and now it started again. Grrrrr. I'm just wondering if exercise is making it worse. I have an appointment with an RE end of January, so I don't really want to see anyone else if I don't have to, but I can't just lay on the couch for two months, but this really sucks... Any ideas? ]]> Do you have this problem? a-mac http://www.soulcysters.net/tmi-bleeding-after-exercise-295821/ http://www.soulcysters.net/why-won-t-af-come-295770/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:29:57 GMT I am at a loss. I took 2 rounds of Prometrium to bring on AF, and nothing. No spotting, no bleeding. I was crampy, but other than that, nothing.

I just had ANOTHER internal ultrasound and I'm waiting on those results. MY RE is great, but she's at a loss too.

Anyone out there just NOT get their period?:sad: ]]> Do you have this problem? bebes516 http://www.soulcysters.net/why-won-t-af-come-295770/ http://www.soulcysters.net/bought-new-thermometer-temp-off-295765/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:08:40 GMT I just purchased a new thermometer from Walmart the other day. My old one wasn't dead but I had been test for over a year with it and it seemed to take longer and longer to get the reading; so I opted to buy a new one!

I started testing with it the very next day and noticed a huge decline in my temps. My cycles are all messed up so who would know where I really should be. I have noticed the much lower temps for the last week, and the new thermometer read the reading in less then a minute..... (It would beep four times.)

This morning however, I got out both termomtors last night and first took my temp with the new one..... it was much lower(97.11)..... beeped within a minute tops. The old one was much higher(97.47), beeped within 3 minutes.

I don't know what one to believe...... I am very frustrated now and any advice would be welcomed!!!

Thanks in advance! ]]> Do you have this problem?

It came back at 47. From what I've been reading, it should be around 70? Since I have PCOS and Hypothyroidism, I'm wondering if this is correct.

I O'd on November 12th (first time in over a year - Metformin seems to cause me to ovulate) and I figured at first that it was just my rusty ovaries kicking into full gear again.

But I'm now 6dpo, and still in quite a bit of pain. To the point where I get nauseous and just want to curl up in a ball and cry. I've been taking NSAIDs for it (naprosyn, primarily) and that takes the edge off, but it's pretty bad.

I saw a doctor on the 13th and he's referring me for an urgent ultrasound. I expressed worry that I may have a cyst that's rupturing, and he said "From my understanding, that generally feels like being shot" and so he doesn't think it's one rupturing, but likely a cyst.

It's been 5 days (well, three full business days) and I haven't heard from the U/S department at all. I'm starting to wonder whether I should go through the ER.

Have any of you had cysts rupture? I have heard, as well, that it is extremely painful to the point of just screaming like a banshee, but I'm worried. I've only had this pain once before, and it got so bad that I just passed out, but I did feel better after I woke up that time, so I didn't go to the hospital.

Could you guys share your ovary-pain stories with me? It probably isn't something horrible, is it? ]]> Do you have this problem? PEIKay http://www.soulcysters.net/my-ovary-trying-bludgeon-me-death-295715/ http://www.soulcysters.net/my-c-reactive-protein-levels-increased-significantly-after-losing-17-pounds-295617/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:08:00 GMT I just requested my bloodwork from September and was checking it out and I'm worried about my C-Reactive protein. It was already really high I think (like 13.5) and now its at like 18. (Sorry, I'm not looking at it right now and I don't remember the units; I'm hoping you'll know what I'm talking about). The normal levels are 0-4.9.

My first question is, is this really dangerous? Also, I was under the impression that it should improve with weight loss, but it got way worse. Is there some kind of explanation for this? I started taking BCP, 2000mg Metformin, and 100mg Spirolactone, and before I wasn't taking anything. Could these medicines make my inflammation increase? I was thinking that the Metformin could be part of the problem since it makes me have diarrhea and nausea, and I've thrown up a few times. Can you think of any other reasons for this high CRP? Also, the Wellness doctor at my doctor said that with the amount of inflammation (13.5 at the time) I should feel quite a bit of pain, but I don't. Any light you can shed on the subject will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ]]> Do you have this problem? texasgirl115 http://www.soulcysters.net/my-c-reactive-protein-levels-increased-significantly-after-losing-17-pounds-295617/ http://www.soulcysters.net/people-never-listen-295565/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:13:54 GMT So I realized last night while visiting my SIL that I am FOREVER getting cut off when I talk about my PCOS. My family does it to me on the phone, in person, ect. Last night the SIL asked me a question about our fertility warning us that "hey my friend has pcos and she got preggers you could too better watch out" (were keeping it to our selves that we are TTC). So I wanted to explain to her that for one it's not a generalized syndrome & for two it's very hard but not impossible. But every time I would get a few words out her BD (baby daddy) would interrupt or she herself would just ignore me. But it's not just her and her BD it's the DH's grand parent's, my mother, my grandmother, my friends, the DH's friends, pretty much EVERYONE even strangers. Why does this happen to me? I feel like I'm a pretty strong personality and I KNOW I'm a FREAKIN loud biotch so what's the stinkin deal? This ever happen to any one else? It feels like either they just don't want to know, don't care enough to listen or are just plain rude. Maybe I'm a push over... ]]> Do you have this problem? wannabamama1 http://www.soulcysters.net/people-never-listen-295565/ http://www.soulcysters.net/heartburn-every-tww-295560/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:26:18 GMT Every time after I ovulate I wake up with terrible heartburn probably about 9 out of 14 days before my period comes and then it completely goes away??

Anyone else have this? What could cause this? The first few times it happened I go excited and thought I could be pregnant but I've figured it out it happens all the time. ]]> Do you have this problem? momo_baby http://www.soulcysters.net/heartburn-every-tww-295560/ http://www.soulcysters.net/passing-clots-while-preggo-taking-lovenox-295558/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:56:20 GMT Hello ladies. I need help with something. Today I passed one huge clot/mass which I thought was my baby that was accompanied with a lot of blood. I was sure that I miscarried, but went to the hospital and they said the baby was still there, still alive, and my cervix was closed. I take 40mg of Lovenox twice per day and this is my first pregnancy that has gone this far with a live embryo.

Has anyone experienced this before? I'm a bit scared because I don't want to lose this baby. I'm scared that I will pass another clot and the baby will come along with it. ]]> Do you have this problem?

I have irregular period around 47 day cycles. I had a blood test for this and everything came back fine testosterone, protesterone and estrogen all ok. Was sent for a ultrasound a couple weeks later and my ovaries have follicles on them. Just seen the doctor and he said I have polycystic ovaries but not the syndrome. I'm 21 5'1 and weigh 7 stone. He said I don't have the syndrome because I don't have achne, facial hair, glucose problem etc and I'm not overweight. He said I can still conceive like a normal lady. But I'm not convinced because I can't find anyone who just has polycystic ovaries and not the syndrome. He wouldn't go into detail about pcos as he said it's to complicated and doesn't think I have it. I feel pushed away and like I've wasted my time. Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone just have polycystic ovaries and not polycystic ovary syndrome? I've been told to just carry on trying and get my otherhalf tested. I'm annoyed cause I don't even know if I'm ovulating and feel like I've hit a brick wall to be honest. ]]> Do you have this problem?

I was wondering if any of you ladies had this problem. I have a few issues because of food allergies with some diets. I am allergic to citrus fruits..oranges, tangerines, tangelos, grapefruits, basically anything that looks like a orange. I am able to tolerate lemons and small amounts of lime juice. I didn't see a thread so I made this one. If so what does your doctors/REs say about it? ]]> Do you have this problem? sflowe1984 http://www.soulcysters.net/suspected-ibs-pcos-295396/
