  • I do BBT charting along with taking Clomid (triple dose) and doing OPK, I find it very useful for confirming that the Clomid is working but I use a website called fertilityfriend.com. This site it awesome they give free tutorials of how to read your chart, it even has a app for your iPhone that is simple to use. I find…
  • I am very into BBT charting but I do it in celcius degrees. I use a app and website that work together http://www.fertilityfriend.com This App/site automatically charts the graph for you. It has a pregnancy monitor on it so you can tell how high your chances are of conceiving every month. Free courses to learn all about…

  • What I hate the most is that since I am having an issue with getting pregnant, that I am always the butt of all the sex jokes, that my husband and I should do it this way or that way or just hang me by my ankles, etc. When I was younger I was in a lot of car accidents (12) but only 3 was I driving in and none at my fault,…
  • My doctor has noticed that, for me me anyway, that I soon as I start consuming dark green veggies (broccoli, spinach, etc) I get my period back. I have now had 3 cycles in a row that were between 30 to 33 days. Now I think I may be experiencing ovulation pain but I really don't know anything about it. And all the research…

  • The first 2 months I didn't really feel any side effects, I just finished my third cycle and on my third day my mother and older sister figured it would be a good idea to make fun of the fact I couldn't get pregnant and my younger sister was. I ended up crying for 2 days (I work face to face with customers and couldn't get…

  • I have been looking into this but there really isn't a whole lot of information for people with PCOS and some of the forums and things I have read have me sitting on the fence 50/50. I would really like to know how this works out for you.
  • Nope I am not of her concern anymore, she made her choice and I will respect that. I am done with explaining, I am done with crying, I am done! She doesn't want me talking to her that is fine, I just won't and I can live with that. As I sit here alone and reading over and over the things I wanted to tell her but she just…
  • Well my mother didn't even want to hear a word, I went to her house to tell her that jokes that she and my sister were making about me trying to get pregnant really fell hard on me and when mom yield across the house that I was bitter well that put me right over the edge. I tried to explain that I am not upset my younger…
  • I had to get a kick out of my younger sister though. She sat there and said "You've lost weight!" and I told her that I am that I have lost about 9 lbs and then she said "Well, um, I am six weeks pregnant!" Gotta give her points she tried to make me feel better before knowing how I was going to feel after.
  • They think it is funny to sit there and make jokes about not trying the right way, or to tell me that I am over exaggerating about the stuff I am going through. They just expect me to sit down and put a smile on my face, well I can't do that anymore. I have been doing it for nearly a decade! I don't know how to make them…
  • The double dose of clomid worked for me this month my doctor called me yesterday and told me that my progestrone was at a really good number and in a week if my cycle don't restart then to try a pregnancy test! *fingers crossed*

  • Depending on their menu at this pub, the only thing I can suggest is to stay away from the bad carbs. So if you want a burger with side salad then order it with no bun, avoid anything with breading on it or a lot of dairy in it. If they do off the menu orders maybe ask if they can steam some veggies or a veggie plate with…
  • You can always ask you to give you smaller dosage pills and take 3 or 4 at different times of the day like 9am, 12pm, 6pm, 9pm. I was something that the pharmacist has suggested to me in the past when any medication that bothered me. My doctor wouldn't let me try metformin, he decide to go straight to Clomid. Hope it helps.

  • Most of my meals are coming straight out of the freezer, I only get one day off a week and I usually spend it shopping and cooking 1 to 3 meals and freeze them in either family size or in a single serving size. It is the best thing ever for dieting and you can freeze everything. (hint: with potatoes you may have to reheat…

  • If this is the way you feel then maybe try going for a walk after you eat for 15 to 20min. I personal usually go to bed around midnight and eat supper at about 10:30, but after I eat I usually do something like walk the dog or climb up and down my stairs while a show is playing (how ever long the show is, is how long I…
  • I usually feel like I am starving even though I can physically feel that I am full, and then would break down and eat something anything (chips, chocolate, soda, cookies, etc) that would make the starving feeling go away so I could continue my day without feeling awful. I had to change it, so this is what I do most days…

I am a huge fan of quick and easy, I use to go for a granola bar, bag of chips, chocolate bar, etc. anything that was just ready to eat. Especially since a work in a store where junk food is in arms reach! Now I make a hugh tray of healthy…
