Talking Redneck Princess Battles PCOS

Well Ladies, here I am, just another Redneck Princess living out in the boonies and trying to make me way in the world. Now, if things had played themselves out according to the "Hick Girl" way of life, I'd be on "chitlin" number 5 by now. But, alas, I've been given too many Copenhagen cans and not enough Tampax boxes. Poor little old me...

Okay...let me get away from my redneck cliches and tell the story..

I married at 19 to a great man who took care of me in a lot of ways. After 3 years of unprotected sex, we knew something was up. My gyno cran through the miriad of tests and finally I was diagnosed. Let me tell you, the vaginal ultrasound definitely left me feeling violated!

I tried clomid for 5 cycles and ovulated twice, but no BFP for me. I became so obsessed with losing weight that I actually dove into 4-6 hours daily of exercise and bulimia. Sure I lost weight, but now I'm losing my teeth too. Not worth it. I also took met but ended up having to quit when the insurance decided to quit covering it. I tried a variety of herbal treatments, but nothing worked for me. Now, I take that as a blessing.

Fast forward to now, I am divorced and remarried. How I thought at 19 that I was ready to be married and that money was enough is beyond me... Now I'm broke, but blissfully happy I have two great stepsons and a furbaby dog named Bella. I'm fat, hairy and am finally somewhat okay with that. Oh, and I work in a daycare, so how is that for a little bit of masochism?

Currently I am on Met - 2000mg a day. I'm ovulating each cycle on day 16, but haven't yet concieved. I added soy this past cycle, but did it late (too late I'm thinking) on day 7-11, I am currently on day 14 and no O, but my preseed just arrived and we're in for a big snowstorm so at the very least, it'll be lots of fun ttc!

I've been observing a lot and you are all some great girls (and guys)! I look forward to leaning on your shoulders and hopefully providing one for someone.

Thanks!

~Tammy

Like you my redneck family is waiting for my "chitlins", but after a year and a half with no baby, we called in the doctors. Turns out I have pcos. It sucks, but I'm not giving up. I wish you the best of luck!

ok I totally did not understand that first part of the post LOL... Im guessing thats the city girl in me? what on earth is a 'chitlin'?

I'm happy that you found your true love and are happy also happy you found soulcysters too, welcome.

Im not trying to have a baby, but I have noticed that woman on here who are have tickers/count downs that can help keep track of stuff and maybe be useful to you? keep your eye out for those, they are generally really cute too lol. *crosses fingers* hope that snow storm pays off for you in more ways then one

"chitlins" are buckets of all of the pork bits that are not made into roasts, chops or ribs (.ie lots of nasty pork insides, feet, etc. )

It's also redneck slang for children, which is the only chitlins I will EVER have! The only food I eat that comes in buckets is ice cream!!
