Thanks so much Hebrew woman. I have started my drug to induce ovulation and i started the metformin agaain. I initially stopped because the side effects were terrible and i felt i wasn't seeing any improvements. Thanks dear i thank God for your LO.
God is in control.

Ok, dats gud but am guessing u mean u started the drug to induce ur period and not induce ovulation. You remember i told u that i thot u started Metformin on too high a dose but u sed u react to drugs pretty well. Am still on 1500mg and even tho i've been on it so long i still get small side effects 4rm d drug especially is i dnt eat well b4 taking it. You can start with 500mg daily and work your way up to 1500mg daily. Metformin is not a drug dat shows you improvements physically, i remember wondering d same thng after i had been on it for so long.

@ Hebrew woman....induce period tanks my mistake. My dear the metformin shocked me out of my overconfidence. This is the first time I'm having side effects to any drug @ all and my dear it hit me hard! Even as i was taking it with food. Thanks dear waiting patiently for period.

LOL!!

Hi all,
I have had the second follicular scan. A bit downcast because the dr didnt see the large follicle anymore. He saw smaller ones and the cluster of PCO.

He placed me on Metformin but am yet to start it cos of the various horrible testimonials .Things like 'if you eat sugar or starch/carbs the effects will be out of this world!' Maybe tomorrow I will start taking the drugs.....am currently drinking my last bottle of coke.

He said its either the egg got released or it got reduced in size. Though he didnt think it was the former, FX for 'it got released'. To be on the safe side, we'll dtd tonight incase eggy is still available.

But this PCOS na wa! I have a regular cycle so am kinda surprised. Except for some crazy AF pains everymonth and adding weight anyhow, i'd never have guessed.

Dr says not to worry it will happen. He is so reassuring. Even when I asked the price of IUI, he said I shouldnt think of that, that I should pray for it to happen naturally. A welcome change from my previous gynae.

By the way I am currently on Bromocriptine, hope its okay to take it with the Metformin and Pregnacare?

Hi ladies. This metformin is sumtin else o! D tin disgraced me today such dat I kept branching diff shops to use their toilet!

Infact as am typin, I dunno whether am feeling hot or cold! I have to really start watching my diet cos this drug is not a little girl at all!

Rocksqueen
Its well with you. But how come he didnt see the already released follicles again? I never heard of it, only heard that a follicle refuses to grow, not really dispearing or reducing in sieze, unless he says u have ovulated before the 2nd scan, which is possilbe!
All the same l wish u all the best with the metformin.

my update
I didnt do the follicle scan on saturday as l said. finished late from the program l went for. However, l had serious O pain on CD18,19 &20, can say for sure when l Oed since l didnt monitor myself.

@Rocksqueen, sry dear, Metformin is not a joke but how did you start? I mean wat dosage exactly and do you take it with food.

@Udoka infact there is nothing I have not heard in this ttc journey. If I hadn't seen the follicle myself, I'd have thot he made a mistake the previous scan. But I googled it and yeah it does happen. Could it be the Clomid I didn't take correctly that caused it? Am still hoping that I O'ed and that's why it disappeared. I felt a brief pain in my ovaries a few days ago. First on the right and den on the left. How I wish I can just get this bfp cos am fed up with the sympton spotting!

@Hebrewwoman. I am on 1000 daily (500 morn and night). I take it sandwiched with food.

So far no further embarrasing 'bathroom' breaks.....why am I a teeny bit disappointed? Could it be because I was really looking forward to the weight I would lose from sitting on a toilet all day?

@Rocksqueen
I feel you on the ovarian pain and symptom spotting

Here comes my own 2ww symptoms. So make una come answer all these my AM I PREGNANT questions oo
Yesterday l felt very sharp pain in my ovaries and today i have been having mild cramps in my ovaries and legs...abegi make una aswer am l pregnant? or is it implantation cramps and pain...Again, l have been feeling sleepy, almost sleeping in the bus on my way to work these days which is unusal for me (no mind me l dey do night prayers which has reduced my hours of sleep) make una answer ooooo am i pregnant. we must spot these symptoms be fire by force lol

I should be Dpo5 or 6 today


Happy 2ww to you my peeps, I see the finger of God doing it for us this season!

Abeg make i nor laff die o!

Finally I'm on CD 1 today. So i start my clomid tomorrow and start my own symptom spotting.

@ebony
i dey ask question, all u can think of is to laugh abi, abegi answer me am l pregnant

BTW, congrats for a new cycle.. l trust God will come thru for you this time around!

My own weight is hell. When I ws in d universtiy I ws watching it wit a tea bag nd also watch wot I eat cuz I ws staying alone. It worked so much for me. But now m staying wit my sister, I can't dictate wot I want to be eating. Please my dear ones wot should I do? I really want to loose weight before my marriage.tnk u for ur advice.

Lollllllllhahahah! Udoka u are preggy IJN! Let us not lose hope! Lmao but at 6dpo u need a bucket load of faith to believe that those are bfp symptoms.....so Ngwa take!(Throws a bucketful of faith at you)!

My dears these days I mock any symptom that wants to give me high bp! For instance I take off my blouse to take a bath, notice that my nip.ples are VERY very dark,hiss and walk away muttering 'idiot! Who do u want to frustrate!


As for the heavy and achy bre.asts...mtcheuw!!!That was my biggest ttc disappointment so these days IF I bother to poke it, I retort with a 'all these mumu false symptoms sef'
That's how I keep my sanity! As for POAS....don't even get me started! Last cycle I still Pissed on a stick the day after AF started!Is that faith or crase?

I bought opk (PREDICTE)..and this month for the first time I saw a faint line indicating ovulation.I and dh did the needful but one week later I used another one simply because I felt funny cramps in the ovaries!In my mind I was like 'Abeg I can't chout'

So am happy am not alone

@bebechuks. Welcome onboard. Its never too early to start. What is your diet like on a normal day and do u do any exercise at all?

@weightloss. Please this thread has unlimited space. Could u do us the big favour of posting the weight loss tips here? Thanks in advance.

@ebony..so we are metformin and clomid buddies then. How are u responding to the met? For me, it was only last night that I felt funny again. I was hot and cold and nauseous. I didn't understand myself so what I did was to climb back into bed with dh and close my eyes tight till I went back to sleep.

@Udoka2, lemme b ur biggest cheerleader and say with faith...YES YOU ARE PREGNANT. Hve faith and believe jare, let ebony13 laugh all she wants...Lol.

@ Udoka...Yes o you are pregnant! I have answered your question. Hehehehe! Are you temping? I'm undecided if i should temp because the stress of thinking is too much, waking up so many tymz @ nyt to check the time if its morning or close to morning just to take your temp,if there is implantation dip or praying that the temp hasn't started to drop. Whew! I'm not temping jare,lemme go and hide the thermometer.

@ Hebrew woman...hehehehe.dnt mind Udoka and her symptom spotting. I join my faith with yours and believe the symptom spotting turns out to be positive! Amen!

@ Rocksqueen...yes o we are metformin buddies. I'm on 1000mg.I'm afraid to increase it yet, inshort not in the next one week! I went as high as 2000mg previously and i didn't need a soothsayer to tel me i was going to stop it the next day! The side effects were out of this world, i threw up everything that entered mymouth plus the headache and terrible nausea. My dear it wasn't easy, but I'm coping very well on 1000mg no effects sinx i restarted it.Halleluyah!

These our cycles must end in bfp by fire by faith!

Pele bout d effect of the drug dear. U got me cracking with ur post. I can't wait for all of us to have testimonies!

I am tired of eating carb based meals! Am hungry this morning but I seem to be eating a lot of carbs of late!
Currently feeling carbed out!

Let's start this dieting again na? This guilty-feeling-after-a--meal is driving me nuts!

DHi my peeps

thanks for answering my questions positively jare..

@ebonyi.. l stoped temping after the last miscarriage, enough of all the headaches and sleepless nights, abegi make l rest.

@all
I have noticed since the last cycle that my pms has drastically reduced, when the prolactin was high, l usually have nip.ple pain immediately after O till Af shows, last cycle l have mild pain 2 days to AF, now, l feel normal there. It means high prolactin was causing those pains.

symptoms:
Had mild twinge on the ovaries on Saturday
This morning had a pull on the left brea.st
CM has be lotion like, and Cervix has been soft.

@Rockqueen
it would have been good to join you to start the diet again, but you can start, l know many pple will join you. We started a month fasting in my church.. as at yesterday l weight 80kg from 81.5kg when we started the fast this month. Am trusting God to get to 75kg before the end of the fast.

.

@ Udoka...so its probably high prolactin that causes that? I normally have it too when i ovulate. I used some herbal stuffs for the prolactin,so i wil seee how mine goes this cycle.
Currently on CD 4, somany things I'm doing differently this cycle.i just hope i get my desired result at the end of it all, and all ttc mamas.You shld be around 8-9dpo today abi?

@ Rocksqueen...what CD are you on?Hope you didn't have any side effects with the clomid?

You are right ebony13 8-9dpo today i.e cd28.
I pray all the things you are doing differently this cycle works for your good IJN!

@Rocksqueen,pls am also really interested in d dieting,pls lets start so others can join us. Dis month is ours & I believe God will grant all of our heart desires in Jesus name.

As for the clomid, no effects at all except that I feel like am putting on weight. Then again, it must be all the rice and eba and bread
I will start dieting tomorrow.

What do u suggest we do this time?
Should we do a fruit diet for 3days every week den stay off carbs for 2days everyweek. That's 5days...cos weekends may be a challenge.

Cool then! Although I already started last nyt with a meal of boiled plantain.
So from today we will be off carbs for two days. Is it okay if we choose any two days of the week for the carb free days and any two for the fruit diet?

Please reply
Meanwhile here is my log
Last night:
Boiled plantain and vegetable/egg sauce.

Breakfast: NIL (OMG I just remembered that I haven't taken my Met)!!!
