Good morning!
O-baby, I think it is stress and I also think its the clomid, it does mess with my hormones a bit and it makes me a bit moody and very paranoid. I don’t think the pink was early af since I was only on CD15 and it was gone by the evening, I did read up on the internet and it says it can happen when your estrogen drops or something just before ovulation, although still having – opks at the moment. Will just wait and see :) I realllllly hope that your af does not show, what CD are you on again? Maybe this tightening feeling is good, I will be SO excited if you get that bfp this month!!!
Iwannabeadaddy – congrats on the follicle :) You just have to wait it out as far as I know, it should grow but I don’t think you can make it grow. Let her just keep taking opk’s so you know when she’s due to ovulate.
Chocolate lady – welcome!! I know how you feel, I want a baby just as bad! I’m 32 years old so I know how it is, you get anxious and every year you just get older... I also have pcos. Not on metformin yet but hoping my doc will put me on next month as I cannot lose weight! How are you finding the 500mg?

Chocolate lady, welcome! This site is such good therepy!
I'm on clomid 100 and 500mg metformin, like you. They may up the metformin now I'm used to it but I'm not due for a specialist appt for another three weeks. I'm hoping to have some good news by then!
So clomid starts tomorrow for me, timing isn't great as I'm out of state for work leaving at 4.30am. That means my clomid will be taken around 8.30pm this month, hopefully this doesn't make me feel bad cause I usually take it before bed to sleep off the side effects!
Jac v exciting that we are on the same cd this month, let's try for a double success!
Wannabeadaddy, I think you just have to wait but you can absolutely get pg on one folli! Good luck with the positive opks!

Angel- I really hope that it is not stress that was/is causing your spotting. So has AF fully showed? Or are you still spotting?
I am on cd23, and I go in for my blood test today. =)
Chocolate Lady- WELCOME! Yes this is one of the best forums that I have found, you will love it here! =) I too have PCOS, I just finished my third round of 50mg Clomid on the 5th of this month. I am also on 500mg of Metformin. I am on cd23, really hoping that AF does NOT show and I get a BFP! Good luck this round! =)

o-baby – no af here, it was only on Sunday for a few hours and I had left ovary pains at the same time (not af cramps), which is why I thought I ovulated and it was cd15, but no temp shift. It was probably more like blood tinged ewcm than spotting… still dunno what it was but pretty sure I did not ovulate although it felt like it, also only got to bd that night so actually hope I wasn’t too late.

ttc2, thank you so much for the warm welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your test. I know you are disappointed but you have to keep moving forward. Stay positive it will happen I know it will. Next month is another chance. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and your also in my prayers :) the dr started me on low dose of metformin but I hope it will be enough to be effective. Thanks for the support. Lots of baby dust for you :)

Angel, yeah and to make matters more depressing I will turn 32 in a few weeks which means another year older and no baby :( the metformin makes me feel full and bloated. I think it gives me headaches. I have been going to the bathroom regularly (tmi right :) I didn't take it last night but I did tonight. Oh well it will all be worth it in the end right? Good luck to you and lots of baby dust :)

O baby, thank you I feel welcome already!! I'm hoping af doesn't come but I know I do t ovulate on my own so the likelihood that I'm preggo is small. So really I'm waiting for af to come so I can start the clomid and get this party started!!!!! lol :) I have a question for you. What is BFP? Good luck to you too and lots of baby dust!!!!!!! :)

Chocolate lady - preseed is a sperm friendly lubricant. I use it because I don't get very (or any) egg white cervical mucus. So it replicates the mucus you should had during your fertile time. It comes with applicators and you eject it. Not sure if it'll help but it definitely won't do any harm :) also the metformin side effects will subside. As per my doctors orders I slowly increased up to 1500mg. This is the first week I finally don't feel any side effects, feeling so much better. It also helps if you make sure you take it on a full belly!!
Hopefully the info helped :) good luck on your 1st round of clomid! Hope that AF comes soon so you can get started!!

Ttc2 – maybe its still too early? I know how disappointing it is though :(
Chocolate lady – I’m turning 33 this year… so totally know the feeling, really want a child before I’m 35… not sure if that’s gonna happen. I want to try the metformin only because I cannot lose weight due to the pcos, but it does seem to have a lot of side effects. BFP means a positive pregnancy test :) You are lucky you ovulate on your own, I think a lot of us don’t so be positive, it will happen soon!

ttc2- sorry about the test ,it could be too soon
Obaby- how did the blood test go, did you o?
Chocolate lady- WELCOME. I have PCOS too and i took my first round of clomid this month, am on cd26 and i cant help noticing how slowly the days go by untill 23rd when Af will arrive(i hope she does not come).Hopefully you will be lucky with your first round.
Last week presented a lot of discomfort- the heartburn, backache and fatigue now every thing is gone, should be happy but am not because i cant even feel the usual sign of Af and its just 3 days away. Has anyone felt this way before?

chocolate lady- Yes, BFP means Big Fat Positive (positive preg test). I have a question for you....all of us that have been on here a while, shared where we are from. I myself am from Arkansas. Where are you located? And good luck to you on your first round of Clomid. =) Baby dust to you girl!
ttc2- I am really hoping that it is still too early to tell on your preg test. Wait a few days and if AF doesn't show, take another pt.
As for myself.....it is 3:16AM here. My husband works second shift, so I am on his hours. That is why I am awake, and sometimes I think I have Insomnia! lol I went in for my blood test yesterday, so I am hoping to receive some good news today. (fingers and toes crossed!!) I am still having cramps in my uterus and in my lower back....UUGHHH! Kind of uncomfortable =( Did some research and I found three reasons as to why I would have cramps... 1. Swollen Ovaries due to Clomid or other fertility meds..?? 2. Af is about to show. 3. Implantation cramps. Well, I am not sure about #1, because it has never happened before and I have been taking Clomid for three months now. #2 AF is not due for another week or after. #3 well I hope with all my heart it is #3! All I know is that I am a bit uncomfortable and I am a bit nervous to get the results from my blood test! Guess I will just have to wait, isn't that what we gals do best?!
I am really really hoping and praying for all of us!

O-BABY: keeping everything crossable crossed for you! Having been pregnant a few times before, let me tell you, pregnancy symptoms and P.M.S. symptoms are almost identical. I know that right before AF is due, I obsess over everything symptom and try to evaluate whether its a pg symptom or a PMS one. With my son's pg, I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever, except for one night of throwing up after I drank something that didn't agree. The next day I tested and received my BFP. As for the pgs I lost, one I had major sickness and symptoms right before AF was due, and the other just slight dizziness. Each woman has different symptoms, and each woman's symptoms differ fro pg to pg. It is so hard to not to obsess, especially like those of us who are on the long-hall, and I am so sorry to hear that it is affecting your sleep. I too have been there, and my heart sincerely hopes you get your BFP!
Chocolatelady and Angel- I'll be 32 in October! You both have time. Please don't let it bring you down. It's better you are addressing these obstacles now rather than when you are 38 or 40.
On cd5, day 2 of clomid, 150 mg, and am hanging in there. Hopefully this third round is a charm. I am very lucky that when I do ovulate, I sometimes conceive. My biggest fears are more miscarriages :(
