LOL Kellie! I do hope you were being sarcastic!
Oh, Krich im sorry...that sucks darling! Can you go to the dr. maybe they can give you provera to start af and you could do soy?!

krich08 · 11-02-2009, 04:49 PM

I dunno what to do... I may take the Met for another couple of weeks and see what happens and if I dont get AF then go to the doc. Or should I go this week? Im confused.

TiffanyTully · 11-02-2009, 04:56 PM

Well its really up to you. I am very impatient...so i could not wait to see if met alone made me get AF. It says that it could take i think 3-6 months for it to make you regular. For me that was WAY to long, so i prefer to get the provera, at least that way i can start a new cycle treatment.

krich08 · 11-02-2009, 05:07 PM

Wow I didnt know that-- I am impatient too. I thought it would have been sooner than that, I will make an appt like tomorrow! Thanks girl

TiffanyTully · 11-02-2009, 05:14 PM

You welcome lol. Glad i could help!
So hubby thinks were pregnant, even though all the tests have said no. It is a defeat in itself that he thinks that. Usually he is like whatever but he really is into it this time.Who knows maybe his male intuition knows sumthing i dont lol. Just wishful thinking though.

So far I can't find a doctor willing to prescribe it unless I'm diabetic.

I am not in Oregon.. but here are some fertility specialists that you can ask about maybe seeing them and ask first if they prescribe Metformin for PCOS...

I know what you mean - I never, ever got my period with less than 16-17 days of luteal phase, and it used to drive me CRAZY. I mean, if I was going to get the stupid thing anyway, couldn't it at least come on time???

Charisse - can't wait for Friday!

AFM - I am freaking myself out today, because my pants are fitting better than they have been, and they're supposed to fit worse, and the bump definitely isn't bigger and might be smaller. ARGH. Do you think people notice when I squeeze my boobs in public?

I felt queasy all day yesterday, but now I worry that it was all in my head.

Yeah, I'm nuts. Completely wacko.

I know how you feel Dura. I was noticing yesterday that my bump looks a little smaller. I had lost weight in the beginning. My boobies are not hurting as much but are still a little sore when I press on them. But I told you the soreness will taper around 9 weeks, to almost non-existent by 12 weeks, so don't freak out okay. We gotta keep eachother going. We both are stressing out about our beans. But I believe God is going to see us through this. I have to keep monitoring my BP now because it's been borderline hypertensive. I was wondering if it was because of the iron pills I take. Maybe it is not a good mix with the Lovenox! I will ask the doctor tomorrow at my appointment. As for today, I will not take the iron pill just to be able to see it's effect on my BP.

You have your appt soon, and you will be able to see your bean. So just hold on until then. Make sure you drink plenty of water too! I read that I should be drinking a cup every hour... and I sure haven't been doing that at all. It helps the baby to have enough amniotic fluid and could be why I am having a high BP as well. So I've been drinking up a bunch of H20 today!

Hey girlies! I just finished reading up on all the posts and checking out the charts.

Charisse... girl... I am praying for your BFP! Your chart is looking good mama. As for DS (Darling Son's) 1/2 brother.. not for nothing.. but I can see where your DF (Darling Fiance) is coming from. Think of it like this... what if you DF wanted to adopt his ex's child? I mean, us as women, we would probably do it because we have that mother instinct and all and with how hard we try to get preggo, we just love the kids any which way they come. But think about it... how many men would want to raise a child from another man? And we are not talking about just from another man, but from another women? And we are not just talking about any adopted child... we are talking about your ex's child.... girl... do you see the drama attached to that one? LMAO You have a great heart Charisse.... but do think about it in that light. It's amazing that your DF is very involved in your son's life. Some men can't handle that responsibility.

Lisa.... where are you today girl? I haven't seen you post all day... I hope all is well? Did you play hookie from work? LOL

Krich... girl.. don't stress. Stress can hinder an AF too. Your boobie pain is a good sign. Even if it is not a BFP sign, it can be an AF is coming kind of sign. It would be great if you were temping so that we could interpret your chart. If AF is coming, your temp would show it and maybe relieve some stress for you. Or if it's a late BFP, it would show the very high temps and that would also be a clue. Are you still taking 1000mg of Met? Maybe the increase to 1500mg would mean all the difference for you. Me personally, I would up it to the 1500mg for the next two weeks and see what happens... if nothing... then go see a doctor... get an ultrasound and b/w and let them tell you what's going on in there. Then it will be up to you and the doc to decide if you will take the Provera.

Tiff, you can definitely O on the Soy.. it's like Clomid. You just need to know how much you personally need to O. You do not need a trigger shot to O from Clomid or Soy. My doc said he likes to give the trigger anyways.... but the two times I got preggo, I O'd from the Clomid without a trigger shot. Most people don't use a trigger with Clomid. Ask Dura, I don't think she had a trigger. Try the lowest dose first... which would be 100mg of Soy... then if nothing.. go from there. But make sure to temp!!! Because you are not being monitored... temping is the owning monitoring you have for yourself to know when or if you O'd. But we will still hope for this BFP, because it ain't over until the FAT AF sings! LOL How was Halloween by the way? Did some of the little Italian kids give in and come over to say "Trick or Treat?" or were they too scared? LMAO

Kels, I can't wait until you come back. I pray all is well for you lady. I think you will be just fine. And you will have open tubes for BDing this month! Woohoo!

Where's me and my Shadow? How's the toe girl?

Hope... where are you... you're M.I.A.?

Hey Faith! I love your optimism! Or should I call it your faith? (smile)

krich08 · 11-02-2009, 06:32 PM

Cool beans Ebony! That sounds like a really good plan. Im so happy for you and your appt to see you little bean-- thats is sooo sweet. I hope everyone fits in the room!

What does soy do and how do you take it?

duramater · 11-02-2009, 06:34 PM

Aw, you ladies are the best. Ebony, save some space for all of us in the appointment room tomorrow - we'll be there in spirit!

I would totally adopt my husband's ex's child - but then, I would probably adopt anything that moves.

DH, on the other hand, doesn't like the idea of adopting at all, partly because he doesn't think he could love another man's child. It's a biological thing, I think.

Tiff - I didn't have a trigger with Clomid - but of course the injectables are different from Clomid. I still think you might respond to soy. Doesn't Charisse's pretty chart make you want to try soy?

EbonyUnique · 11-02-2009, 06:36 PM

AFM (As For Me)... I am a little bit nervous. Okay... more than a little bit... a whole bunch! It's quite a pressure to have so many people be there at my appt. tomorrow! My hubby, my parents, my grandmother! I just wish they could all wait until at least 12 weeks preggo. I just agreed to my mother, but because she is Eyewitness News... she went and told my father and grandma that she's going and the insisted it would be fair if they went. I'm just already nervous about the bean itself and my blood pressure... and now all these people are going to be in the room too? Ughhh!

side note... I don't know if it's way too early to feel the bean move... but sometimes I get this little funny feeling on my left uterine area... it's always in the same place. only when I'm laying down though. Feels like when your eye is having a spasm... or like when your ovary has a little spasm... kinda like that... it just twitches for like 3 seconds.. and then I don't feel it again for maybe another day or two for the past week now. It's not gas... because no farts are coming out nor do I feel like they want to... LMAO sorry yall! Oh man, I just cracked myself up with the fart thing... hahahaha

But anyways, because I don't know how it feels to have a baby move inside, I was just wondering if that's what I'm feeling?

TiffanyTully · 11-02-2009, 06:39 PM

Halloween was fun! And yes some of the little Italian kids DID come and trick or treat! lol. I think some of the italians may celebrate it because like a few days before halloween one store in our town put out decorations for sale. and the night of halloween that store was packed with last minute italians shopping for halloween stuff! We were still the only ones in our neighborhood maybe even town who had a decorated house

Ill take pics tomorrow before I put everything away. Im keeping my fall stuff up for Thanksgiving though. Christmas seems to be the big thing here! EVERY store has a big display out already.
Ebony-if i did not o on my own doing injects do you really think ill o on soy? Its not for sure that i didnt o on the injects as im still waiting. But im just doubting myself. If i did o i would either have a bfp or af and neither has happened. So if I dont get Af or bfp it means i didnt o..so im wondering why i would on soy. You know what i mean? Im still holding out for god to grant me my prayers this time though. I just want sumthing to happen. I just want to know that i did o or whatever. I just really dont want to have got a cyst or sumthing. The more i read on other threads the worse i feel lol. I need to just occupy my time with sumthing until my wait is done. hubby laughed and said im going to be one of those women who just push out my baby in the toilet one dy (he use to watch i didnt know i was pregnant wiht me in the states

EbonyUnique · 11-02-2009, 06:40 PM

Imma let Charisse or Dura tell you about the soy... (smile) Sometimes I think I talk too much... LMAO
