Hi girls

Well we've reached the 2 year mark TTC today and feeling very low and very crap.

No real progress made, still not ovulating, so until that happens who knows how much longer it'll be.

xx

Ah I'm really sorry to hear that Claire, and sorry that you are feeling rubbish. I am just coming up to a year ttc with PCOS, and I know that is depressing enough! We stupidly started trying on my birthday too, so I'm not looking forward to that now!

What stage are you at with getting help? I hope you feel a bit better once today is over X

Hi Magpie
Atm I am concentrating on losing some weight. I need to lose a stone before returning to the ferility clinc when they can start to treat us. We have had scans and have ruled out PCOS and other conditions. They beleive it really is done to weight. I ve already lost 12lbs so am putting all me efforts into that. But when I do retuen I can go on Clomid hopefully. I just cant cope with the emotions that is attched. We've waited so long to start a family and just wish it was our turn.

How about you? are you on any medication?

Well done on your 12lb weight loss, that is really fab! So you are hopefully really close to getting clomid so that is really positive. I have a bit of weight to lose too, I joined weightwatchers 2 weeks ago and have lost 7 1/2 lbs, I am trying to focus on that too as a bit of a distraction! And then hopefully it will help me too.

I know what you mean about the emotional side of it, I really struggle and have very dark moments. Everything just seems to take so long, and I often get quite bitter at how unfair it seems for all us ladies with problems.

I am only on metfomin to sort out my insulin levels, which has shortened my cycles (as long as it wasn't a fluke last time!) but my doctor won't give me any further fertility help until we have been trying for 2 years, even though I have PCOS. I would love to do it naturally in 2 years if its possible, so I have slowly come round to the docs way of thinking!!

Im at WW too, been on them all over the years but find this one works for me. Well done too for your weight lose, thats an amazzing start. I just need to keep focused.

I know only too well about the dark places, im often a frequent visitor!!!

The docs have said that because there doesnt seem to be any other issues, apart from losing weight, that they think we would concieve naturally, but at least I know we can go back and start further investigations treatment. I have periods on a fairly frequent cycles but i just dont ovulate.

We need to think positive xxx

I find I can only lose weight with Weightwatchers, I definitely can't do it on my own! It can be hard when your down about things though can't it!

Its really good to know you can get some help, and fingers crossed for a natural miracle in the meantime. Hopefully once the ball is rolling with the fertility specialist you will feel more positive.

We definitely need to think positively, I am sure we will both get there in the end. At the moment I take all my comfort from the thought that I will appreciate the experience so much more when it finally happens because of the journey to get there X

Yes you are definetely right, we will appreciate it more. Ive ome round to thinking that it may not happen this year, but 2011 has to be our year for sure!! Im 30 in 2 years and have it in my mind that I want to be a mother by then xx

I thought I would be pregnant by the end of this year, but I am just hoping for 2011 now too! I am sure you will be pregnant next year, knowing that you will be getting extra help soon.

Its funny isn't it, I always had 30 in my mind too! I am nearly 26 so still have a little while but always wanted to be a mummy by 30.

We WILL get our BFP in 2011 (or before!!) :lol:

How funny!!

I always had in my mind 2 children by 30, but now just 1 would be great! Both mine and hubbys nans are twins and neither familes have had any yet and most cousins have had childdren. Its said that it misses a generation......... It could be on the cards and maybe at the moment its just my body saying lose the weight, get in shape as you will be getting double (!), who knows....

Well I will definetely keep a look out for you and update as and when.

2011 it is!!!

Haha, I am the same, I wanted 2 by 30 but have changed that to 1 now!! My Mum is a non identical twin, so before I knew I had PCOS (and that my body would find it hard to make one good egg let alone two!!) I always wondered if I would have twins. How lovely would that be if you did, it would be like the saying about buses, wait two years for a baby and two come along at once! :lol:

I will definitely be looking out from some good news from you too! X

I sure hope your right. 2 would be so hard, but so wonderful at the same time. A clarvoyant once stopped me and said 'they come in twos'. I never knew what she meant, but maybe theres some truth in it!!!

Sounds theres a very high possibiolity for you too xx Watch this space xx
