I've been quite this month...but please add me to the group as well.

I feel as if I never say hello anymore....I have been reading all of your posts, but haven't had the time to stop by and say hello. Hopefully November will be better. Thinking of you all lots... and of course...sending baby dust! :-)

I know what you mean about staying away from baby stuff. Since my husband and I aren't technically trying...we aren't buying either. So far I have been able to walk away from everything...BUT yesterday we went to Cracker Barrel for brunch and they had this adorable penguin bib. (my MIL collect penguins so it just would…

I LOVE the second set of photos! You look so happy and in love in all of them! Great shots!

Hi Everyone. I've been MIA lately...work has been so nuts! I would say this past week was one of my worst ever. I love my job, and I love what I do, but this week I seriously thought about walking out MULTIPLE times. I spent this weekend just relaxing, spending quality time with the hubby, knitting, and cleaning. Hopefully…

I planned to weigh in today, but my hubby took me on a little "date" last night. We ended up going out to eat and then buying a movie, cuddling on the couch and eating cookies. It was so nice! The work week was pretty stressful, and I am so thankful that he made the night special. So when I weighed in this morning, I was…

My mom was the exact same way! The doctors actually thought I was a tumor. She was growing and super sick...and was "failing" every pregnancy test. It actually took an ultrasound before they knew it wasn't a tumor but a baby girl :-)

Thank you!! I needed to read this today! Ever since being diagnosed in February, I have spent my time getting healthy. I have lost 30 pounds and honestly feel really great...but the fact the the doctor wants me to go on Metformin makes me feel like everything I did just wasn't enough. I feel like I should be able to…

Thanks. This all really helps. I appreciate that you know so much!!! I hope to be as armed with knowledge as you are some day!! I think I will probably start taking the metformin this weekend. Somehow it just makes me feel like I failed though. I have spent since February trying to get as healthy as possible so I could…

Checking in quick on my break at work... The doctor called and said that she would recommend I start taking Metformin to hopefully stop the spotting and help regulate future cycles. She said it is completely up to me though. She is also ok with me just waiting it out. So....do any of you have stories about metformin? Do…

Good Morning Everyone...I am getting ready for work, but my husband is sleeping and I just need someone to talk with.... I posted a few days ago that I am having the strangest cycle. AF hasn't actually arrived it's just been brown spotting. Sometimes I go a day without any spots, sometimes it happens only once or twice,…

I can so relate to how you feel. I came off birth control June 2010 due to some side affects. One thing led to another and in February 2011 I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was heartbroken. I cried all the way home (and much of the week after). All my life I have wanted to be a Mommy and I felt like every dream I ever had was…

I can so relate. After coming off birth control it took me nearly 9 months to have a regular natural period. I was the happiest girl in the world UNTIL the cramps hit me! I had completely forgotten what it was like!

Hello everyone! I haven't had time to check catch up on everyone's posts... but I wanted to say hello. My hubby and I just got back from a fabulous weekend away. We ate, shopped, sat in a hot tub, and went to an amazing college football game. It was supposed to be to celebrate his birthday (which was nearly 2 months ago)…

Good Morning Everyone... I still haven't gotten used to how quickly this board moves. I think one of my goals this month is to stay caught up with all of you! :laugh: Welcome to all the newbies and congrats Julia!!! AFM - I am so stressed. We aren't even at the busy time at work yet and I am feeling overwhelmed by the…

I responded to this on the last thread before I realized that we had moved to October... Thanks! I am relatively new to the PCOS world. I was diagnosed back in February and since then my lifestyle has been over haled. I have been doing a lot of the things you mentioned above...but I still have so much to learn. A lot of…

Thanks! I am relatively new to the PCOS world. I was diagnosed back in February and since then my lifestyle has been over haled. I have been doing a lot of the things you mentioned above...but I still have so much to learn. A lot of the reasons my husband and I are waiting until the Spring to officially TTC is because we…

OH!! I love reading! This is a great question!! Have you read The Help? I really liked it!

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Sending you lots of hugs!!!

Thanks! I love the word blotting...sounds about right for me right now!! I hadn't even really thought about things that way. I don't think I have ever actually had regular cycles...so this feels all so new. I hadn't really thought about the varying levels of hormones in my body. I don't really want to go on the pill....I…

Quick question for everyone....those of you who have PCOS do you find that your periods tend to be heavy one month and extremely light the next? My cycles are somewhat normal (anywhere from 50-31 days). BUT my current period is playing with my mind. It's more then spotting but barely enough for a tampon (sorry if that…

It's been a few days since I have stopped by...boy was there lots to catch up on. I am sending hugs to all of you going through tough times and cheering for all of you who have had victories! And welcome to all the newbies! AFM - I haven't been feeling well the past week and a half or so...and this morning I woke up with a…

So excited for the BFP news!! Congrats ladies!! Praying for great pregnancies for you both. AFM - I tested this morning. I couldn't wait anymore. It was BFN and I'm bummed. We haven't officially started TTC and I'm not exactly regular - so I feel a little silly.....but i guess I was just hoping!! So now I just want TOM to…
