Natalie,

I have pcos (diagnosed only 2 yrs ago - your lucky!) and finally conceived in march while taking injections (gonal FSH).

Clomid did nothing for me, metformin helped with insulin resistance and ovarian cysts, but was still not ovulating every month. Also, the quality of the egg is ...

Has anyone gone on BCP after a miscarriage or D & C ? I'm planning on doing another cycle of injections in 2-3 months and wonder when a good time to go on BCP is?

It's been 2 weeks since the D & C.

Also, how soon after a loss have you ladies tried to concieve again?

Thanks in advance,

Yvonne :?:

Ladies,

Your kind and wise words have made all the difference in difficult times - thanks again!

Yvonne

My Dh and I were in yesterday for an ammnio, when the MD discovered an inactive and underdeveloped fetus at 15 weeks! The little one never made it past 13 weeks - just when it was almost a sure thing!

Isn't nature cruel? After 6-8-10 weeks, it would have been easier to take, but after seeing the ...

I too conceived somewhere around April 1st/04 and had my scan on may 10th. with an approximate 6 week old baby (give or take a week).
Seeing the heartbeat was really emotional, as I've had an early m/c before and have had friends who have had scans show no heartbeat (yikes!)

Anyway, lucky you get a ...

:D
Hello pg ladies!

I just had my first scan this week at 7 weeks and sure enough, there was a glorious little bleep of a heartbeat - what an incredible experience! Even with the confirmation, I still need to pinch myself...
At the u/s I had to bite my tongue to stop from crying with joy - its an ...

Caz,

I'm in my 6th week and had ovarian hyperstimulation, so bedrest was in order. Although I felt like a slug, it was neccessary - only easy walking or swimming allowed.

I was told even with a regular pregnancy, no weights or overly-exerting activity. In the first 3 months especially, its ...

:D Fertility sisters :wink: ,

I just had my 7 week u/s and sure enough, a tiny blip indicated a healthy heartbeat. What a relief! We rescan in a month and start all the prenatal work soon - its so exciting. At this point, due to good hormonal levels and no bleeding, the RE said chances of m/c are ...

I've read that any hairdye that colors the hair has loads of chemicals (ammonia, if not peroxide amongst many others)
Even in non-pregnant women,traces of these chemicals can be found in their organs long after coloring!
I wouldn't risk it. I too have brown hair - a new cut might make it more ...

Nicola,

All the best with your new little bundle of joy!
Your story is inspiring, especially the not-too-bad labor part about which I'm terrified! I'm new to the list, as I just got a +ve hcg test after gonal injections.

I think the date will be early january 2005, possibly twins? (had 6 large ...

Thanks, Dagney for the info. I had a delayed reaction (2 weeks after the hcg shot). My doctor says its moderate, not requiring hospitalization, although the thought of morphine is tempting to put me out of my misery.

I can't believe how big my girth can be - I look 5 months pg already!

Oh well, I ...

:shock:

Dagney,

You mention you had OHSS a while back. I've been given a mild/moderate OHSS dx as of yesterday after my bloating turned extreme (with some fluid in the torso). I feel like I'm already 4 months pg (only 4 weeks), with difficulty breathing, eating and now sleeping.

Is it true it ...

:lol:

I'm a 39 yr young female diagnosed with PCO a yr ago. 4 months of Clomid resulted in nothing but bad pms symptoms.

My RE recommended injections due to my age. Our first cycle (3x 100 units of gonal, then 4x 150 units) stimulated 7 mature follicles plus some smaller ones. The RE prescribed ...

Apparently high LH is typical of PCOS along with low FSH. My blood profile was almost normal, but I did have PCOS diagnosed when my endo found 23 cysts on both ovaries during a laparoscopy.
