Nikole · 08-07-2005, 08:00 PM

Hello ladies...I finally found this thread. I hope to be a regular here. MY name is Nikole and I am married to DH Jason for 4 years. Our DD Hallie just turned 3 last month. We have been ttc for about a year. I went to the doc and she said it is probable that I have pcos. My cycles are sometimes long and irregular. I have charted and temped for 6 months and have taken a break this cycle. It has been too nerve racking. I have jumped back on the LC wagon to stay. I really want a baby. I started last tues and have lost 5.5 pounds. I am just taking it day by day. Well theres my intro

Have a good night ladies

CONGRATULATIONS LUNA AND SHELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooo excited for you both

.

Welcome Nikole

. I have PCOS too, so I feel your pain.

Still quiet on my end, saving all my energy for 19-24

metroames · 08-08-2005, 04:39 AM

Doh! I skimmed right over Shelly's post.

Congrats to you too!

Laprettygurl · 08-08-2005, 07:14 AM

Yay! Congrats Mommies!

*squeal* newborns!

kasia15 · 08-08-2005, 04:55 PM

Nope nothing for me ....sigh.....oh well looks like like I ovulated at least, very odd that I ad so many cramps these past few weeks, ah well maybe my body couldn't quite believe I ovulated and protested

With PCOS ovulation can be elusive.

Anyway I have started on metformin, however no side effects..?? weird, last time i took it, the toilet was my best friend and it felt like my insides were trying to become my outsides

I wonder if it has to do with low carb dieting (although I was cheating when I started) or having lost weight hmmmmm. Maybe it will hit me later on.

CONGRATS LUNA

we are one successful bunch

Progress is progress... don't knock it! Your time is coming!!!!!!!

Maja · 08-08-2005, 08:10 PM

If DH really didn't want to BD with me from the 19-24 all he had to do is say so, he didn't have to go all extreme on me and BRAKE HIS FOOT to get out of it

.

Yes ladies you heard correctly, he really needs an ice pack now. We spend 4 hours at the emergency room today after he hurt his leg at work. He'll be in a cast for 4-6 WEEKS. It's his right foot too, which means he can't drive, and I haven't driven in 4 years plus I can't drive a stick shift (which is what we have). So we're in a litttttle bit of trouble if you ask me

. I don't know how we're going to get to work and back. His parents went on a trip to visit his grandma who isn't doing too well, they come back Sunday. We don't really know anyone else in the area

.

So right now I have a major headache and I'm sooo stressed out it's not even funny, but I'm trying to stay positive for him because the poor guy is in major pain.

Guess there will be no baby news from me this month either

. He might not be in pain by the 19th, but all the good baby making positions are kinda out with the cast on, from what I can imagine, but I'm tired and upset now, so maybe we'll find a way

...... your suggestions are appreciated

.

kasia15 · 08-14-2005, 04:41 PM

Well I enjoy it, but many of the gals have graduated, and some have thought better of the fever

I don't mind sneaking in on the pregnancy thread instead, I can be 'in training ' l
