PCOS Check In
Sorry I forgot to post this last week. I've been super busy and haven't had much time to be on TN lately.
Any updates on your TTC process?
Are you being monitored or taking any meds?
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch?
How are you doing with diet and exercise?
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS?
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you?
Re: PCOS Check In
Any updates on your TTC process? Still on our break. This will be our third month and I'm really leaning towards waiting until next year. There are several reasons, but the main one is financial. I hate that we have to pay OOP for everything and we'd basically have to put everything else on hold. Why can't I just be a millionaire already!?!?!
Are you being monitored or taking any meds? I've been off metfromin for 2 months now and I recently had more BW done. I am very happy to report that my insulin level is down naturally, so my diet plan and exercise is working. I just need to stick with it because it still needs to be a little lower. My doctor feels confident that I'll be able to achieve that by continuing with my plan.
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Still doing low carb, low sugar diet and exercising.
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Pretty good. I've been doing a lot of active work in our yard and house, so haven't had time to do T25 or actual work outs. I'm hoping to get back to the T25 program tonight.
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS? Nope.
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you? I'd like to plan something, but I am not very good and playing jokes on anyone. I don't think anyone's ever played an April Fools joke on me.
Any updates on your TTC process? Switched to TTA for now.
Are you being monitored or taking any meds? Nope
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Not really
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Pretty good. Still doing the PCOS/Gluten Free diet and hoping my body O's in a timely manner. Exercise is still close to 5 days a week.
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS? Nope.
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you? Not planning anything.
Our senior year of high school we did our senior prank on April fools day. They were redoing the front lawn of the school and had it all fenced off so people couldn't walk on it. The grass had grown up and it looked like a pasture. So we made farm animals out of cardboard, had one of the maintenance men change the school sign for us, and put an ad in the paper that said "pasture for sale" with the schools' number.
That prank made the front page of the newspaper.

@ystaalenburg I'm so happy to read that the diet has been helping you. It's crazy how much difference what you eat, makes.
Does the Dr think there would be a possibility of you conceiving on your own if you continue it and your levels balance out?

Any updates on your TTC process? Nope. had a big temp drop today but I honestly am hoping it's nothing because our timing would be WAY off.
Are you being monitored or taking any meds? No.
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Nothing new.
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Still (mostly) vegan and gluten free though. I desperately need/want to start exercising, but I did something to my knee almost 2 weeks ago and it hurts to do anything, even stretching. Sucks. If it's not feeling better in another week, i'll go to the doc.
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS? nope
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you? I don't think I'll do anything this year. Probably the best was when I was in junior school and i painstakingly created a fake school letterhead/envelope and wrote a letter to my parents saying I'd been caught cheating and would be suspended for a week. That would've been so out of character for me and my parents fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. It was awesome. Otherwise, they're not April Fool's pranks, but my friend and I were the known school pranksters in college. One of our finest was getting trashbags FULL of shredded paper from the registrar's office and filling a friend's dormroom about 2 feet full. It was glorious. OR maybe the time we took the same friend's mattress and put it out in the co-ed lobby with a note that said "sorry, guys.. peed the bed and need to let it air out a little... -friends name". We also used to regularly "vandalize" vehicles after curfew. Oh and there was the time we put live minnows in a friend's dormroom sink. I could go on all day...
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
Are you being monitored or taking any meds? 1500mg of Metformin
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Nope
How are you doing with diet and exercise? It varies day to day. I really want to start making a concentrated effort to lose more weight and get back to healthy eating though.
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS? Nope
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you? I'm not planning anything. I don't think I've ever had an April Fool's joke played on me nor have I ever done one. When I was younger I always wanted to do something really funny but I never followed through with it.
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
Finished Clomid last Thursday, and just waiting to see what happens. I'm calling the RE that someone gave us this week, but am really hoping I won't need to go through with anything
Are you being monitored or taking any meds? Nope
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Just diet and exercise
How are you doing with diet and exercise? I'm really trying to eat more natural foods. Right now, I'm not trying gluten free or dairy free, but just making sure I do healthy choices. We started the Biggest Loser at work, so it's making me more accountable. I'm trying to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. DH is making it a little difficult because he's lazy.
Any new fact you've learned about PCOS? None
QsOTW: Are you planning anything for April Fools? What was the best April Fools joke you've ever done or had done to you? I can't really remember any. A radio station here one year played a prank about how the city was lowering the speed limit on interstates to 50 in order to fight pollution. They had someone call in pretending to be from the Dept of Transportation, and I totally fell for it.
