Not sure if im meant to start a new thread! - NEWBIE!!
I have just joined the site and it is amazing and overwhelming, although i wasnt sure whether to start a new thread to introduce myself or leach of someone elses so here i am!
I am 26 years old and have a daughter who i concieved at 15, she is nearly 11 now and she was concieved after having sex for the first time!! lucky me lol xx she is an angel x
I have been trying to concieve for the past 9 years, and have been diagnosed with PCOS for about 5 of those. I have been on metformin (500mg x 3 a day) for the past 3 years and have had various trys at clomid (50mg and 100mg) all of which have failed to do anything.
I am not entitled to IVF on the NHS as i have a daughter and my partner has a son from a previous relationship so our only other option for now was ovarian drilling which i went and had done thursday last week!! My tummy still hurts, specially around the stitches in my belly button and on my knicker line!! I keep forgetting they are there and only realise when i try bending! im such a dope sometimes lol x
I was just wondering, some of the simple things that the doctors didnt mention, like when should we start trying for a baby again? do i need to go back on clomid? how often should we be having sex when we are trying, all things i seem embarrassed to ask my doctor but happy to ask strangers!! told you i am a dope!!
any advice from ANYONE would be great x x x
so hello, thats me and i hope to make some new friends who understand how i feel and that there are times i dont feel like being chipper x
(i have one friend who recently got pregnant and found it amusing to come in and wave her pregnancy test in my face while screaming in excitment!! i am happy for her but please.......a little thoughfulness!! )
lovely to meet another uk ladies, welcome to sc there is a link to the uk section of sc in my siggie for you, but we are all welcome all over the boards.
Welcome to SC Kentbird. I haven't got any personal experience with ovarian drilling, I'm just researching it here myself, but this link : http://www.soulcysters.net/search.ph...9&pp=15&page=3 is all the different threads that mention drilling - there are so many cysters who have had it done and so much information there too. I have read that most cysters get their first period 2-2.5 weeks after the operation. I would imagine it would be a good idea to wait until after then to start the baby dance - just for your own comfort - I don't imagine that becoming pregnant whilst you are trying to heal from the operation would be marvelous, especially if you get morning sickness. But all this is just my humble opinion.
