Re: PCOS Checkin

  • Any updates on your TTC process? Still TTA till next month

    Are you being monitored or taking any meds? Metformin 

    Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Not since the last update, diet and exercise 

    How are you doing with diet and exercise? I told myself I'd let off on the carb restriction as long as I made sure it was 100% whole wheat. I've done good with that, but I've given into sweet cravings a little too much. 

    What's your ultimate goal in dealing with PCOS? Just to have a good handle on it and not have issues with my insulin levels 

    QOTW: What is something that you are looking forward to in the near future? Trying again, I'm planning to try to have more fun this time around than to stress about it. Good luck with that goal!

  • Any updates on your TTC process? Still TTA. Taking it a month at a time.  Even though H is trying to convince me to a week at a time.

    Are you being monitored or taking any meds? Nope.

    Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch?

    How are you doing with diet and exercise?  Not bad with the diet.  Well, till yesterday.  Then I had a Dairy Queen blizzard and today I'm drinking sweet tea.  Definitely too much sugar for the diet.
    My exercise hasn't been great.  Did my 14 mile run on Saturday.  It went well, but now I feel burnt out.  So I haven't exercised since.  Not even my exercise class.  Maybe I will tomorrow?

    What's your ultimate goal in dealing with PCOS? Getting my body to regulate and have normal cycles. Which this month has happened.  So hopefully I can kick my butt back into gear with the full on diet/exercise I was doing and maybe my body will continue to respond to it.

    QOTW: What is something that you are looking forward to in the near future?  Paying off the last of H's student loans.  We're working our asses off this month in hopes that we can make that huge payment toward it and get it finished.  Then it's back to all my larger Sallie Mae ones. But having all of his paid off is going to feel so good.

  • Any updates on your TTC process? NTNP until January 2015

    Are you being monitored or taking any meds? 1500mg Metformin

    Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Still going with diet and exercise.

    How are you doing with diet and exercise? Better this week than in previous weeks with watching my calories. I'm trying to get back to using my food journal on My Fitness Pal. I haven't made it to the gym at all this week but I have been completely reorganizing and deep cleaning my apartment so I am counting that as a little exercise. ;) 

    What's your ultimate goal in dealing with PCOS? Managing my insulin resistance so that I can get down to a healthy weight and maintain it...and maybe possibly start ovulating.

    QOTW: What is something that you are looking forward to in the near future? DH and I are going away for a weekend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary in June!

    Any updates on your TTC process? Decided to get off BCP and see if my body will have a natural cycle.  We also made the decision to wait until next year to try another medical cycle, if needed.

    Are you being monitored or taking any meds? Nope

    Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Getting really strict with my diet and exercise routine.

    How are you doing with diet and exercise?  Doing really good.  Diet has been going great this week and so has exercise.  I worked out yesterday morning, yesterday evening, and this morning.  I'm thinking about going for a small run after work today.  We've also been doing a lot of work in our backyard and that's been a lot of physical labor.  I'm upping my exercise because I've hit a plateau with weight loss, so hopefully this will get the scale moving again.

    What's your ultimate goal in dealing with PCOS? To stay off any medication, get my insulin and cholesterol levels in line, and hopefully have natural cycles.

    QOTW: What is something that you are looking forward to in the near future? Honestly getting into great shape.  That's my #1 goal right now, mainly because I know it will make me the healthiest I've ever been which will hopefully lead to a baby.

  • Any updates on your TTC process? It appears as though I may have ovulated on my own, soooo that's good! Time will tell. If the date FF is giving me is correct, I'm 7dpo, which means I will begin peeing on things very soon. Because that's how I roll. ;) 

    Are you being monitored or taking any meds? nope

    Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? nope

    How are you doing with diet and exercise? diet is so-so.. I've tried to get out and walk more but i have a bum knee right now which makes walking very painful :(

    What's your ultimate goal in dealing with PCOS? screw it and get pregnant.

    QOTW: What is something that you are looking forward to in the near future? Um... I really don't have anything right now :( no vacations, no events, nothing at all. I'm very blah at the moment.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • Can I be part of this or would that make people uncomfortable?
  • I can only speak for myself but I don't see any reason why you can't. I wouldn't be uncomfortable at all. The more women sharing their own unique experiences with PCOS the better, I think.

    No problem here.  I feel that anyone with PCOS can join.  No matter what point in their journey they're at.
