my period is overdue by 4 days today so i am really hoping i have conceived this time. i am getting slight period like cramps every night while sleeping but nothing during the day. i also thought that maybe coz i am traveling my period is delayed. what do u think? let me know KR replied. Hi Gals,

Glad to see your postings. I' m sorry that I couldn' t keep up, I was kinda engaged with my daughter as she' s in summer vacation and also certain things kept be busy and exhausted. And again friends from out of state are comming to visit for a week or so, so I guess will be out of touch for couple of days. But I' ll try to keep in touch whenever possible.

And from my end, I had my second visit with gyn and had my first U/S. Everything seems to be fine and the lil one too. I have written all abt it in a seperate post in jan 2008 board. Gals, when you find time go thru the post.

Babysos, very nice to hear from you being so far away. Keep your fingers crossed and our prayers are with you always. Enjoy your vacation, don' t think abt anything rite now. Am sure you will give good news for us soon. Enjoy dear!

Sherry, drink lots of water, fruits and veggies and also food that will cool down your system. Like babysos said take food on time and don' t take tamarind(imli), lemon or tomato anything citrus which will increase the acidity. And also no spicy or oily food. Hope you feel better soon! How' s your mom anyway?

Megs, am really sorry for my late response. I had replied to you in the jan board 2 days go itself. I don' t know if you haev noticed that. Plese go thru it next time you visit jan board. hope your lil one is giving you kicks now and then. You will probably expecting the day to go to your mom' s place, huh!

Take care you guys. Will keep in touch!

Lots of Luv,

KR

KR Babysos replied. Hi Megs...

Thanx for the info! My doc has told me to continue in spite of the side effects and said i can not stop it under any circumstances till my delivery. So... no choice there but thinking of taking a 2nd opinion. Also i am feeling much better today in spite of taking 2 doses of 500 mg after breakfast and lunch. I only have the dinner dose left now. I think i didn' t feel too much side effects today coz i was out with friends all day and really had a great time spending the day with them.

I' m back now and need to exercise. Hey my insulin levels are well under control so its not an issue of insulin.

Thanks again for the info. I am sure it will work out well for me. I am in my fertile period so hubby n i are TTC. -)

Take care and keep writing!!

Love n hugs,
Babysos Meghnah replied. hello babysos,
hmm so metmorfin has these side effects.Didnt know this at all.Coz I read that normally for ppl with PCOS they prescribe Metmorfin or clomid.So thought it wud be safe...n the point is,if doc knew it has side affects,he shd have had told u.Atleast u wud be prepared,n know what side affects it has.How cum all of a sudden hesz telling u to stop taking it now?

btw how many tabs of metmorfin were u having daily?n how much mg each?coz I read it on net that taking 1500mg daily, will make u feel sick,
constantly dry reaching, chronic fatigue and causes nausea. But having 500 mg is slightly better...

I' m posting an article what I read on metmorfin--read it.Hope it gives lil releif--
Well, Met is an insulin-sensitizing drug. Research has shown that the hormonal problems with PCOS that lead to the outward symptoms (you know, extra weight in the middle, excess hair growth, dark skin patches, acne, etc) are linked to insulin levels in the blood.

In a woman with PCOS, her body is sending out TOO MUCH insulin when it' s trying to digest food...insulin is needed to take glucose (which comes from processing sugar or carbohydrate) into the cells to turn it into energy. When too much insulin is sent out, it' s because the cells aren' t responding to the insulin that' s already in the blood...for some people, this causes low blood sugar. For most of us, though, the extra insulin just floats around and causes fat to be stored. This is what doctors call \" insulin resistance.\"

Met helps the body use the insulin it has more effectively - this way, the body doesn' t NEED to send out more insulin and insulin levels remain normal.

Many women have found Met to be a miracle drug, but it does come with some side effects - mainly upset stomach and diarrhea, which is sounds like you' re starting to experience.

many women have found that eating certain foods make the stomach upset worse, or taking it at certain times in a meal helps.

Also, Met can do WONDERFUL things for you if you' re willing to meet it halfway. Many cysters eat some kind of a low-carb plan to avoid insulin spikes (although not all, some eat low-fat or other forms of diet) and exercise is KEY! This helps keep the insulin levels in your body low - which helps weight loss AND clears up some of the other symptoms.

From what I' ve heard, the symptoms slow down after a few weeks on it. So if you can stick it out, it may be a miracle drug for you too!


nyes,babysos I' ve heard u shd drink lotsa lotsa water when ur on metmorfin..so do drinking lotsa lotsa water.Hope this works...

hope it bcumes miracle for u:-)now do not worry.Evrything is gona be allrite soon.WE will pray for u...
lotsa luv
megs Babysos replied. hi guys...

the news is... my GYN forgot to tell me about the side effects of Metformin. Apparently many women experience gastro related problems like vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, headaches etc because of Metformin. I come into work every morning feeling sick and tired ever since I started Metformin. And i thought it was because of stomach infection. So i went to my family doctor who said I had stomach infection and prescribed antibiotics. I showed him Metformin and asked him if i could still take it while taking antibiotics. He said it was ok to take it together. So i just went on and on taking both and this morning, on my last dose of antibiotics i was feeling the same as i did on the 1st day of feeling sick. So i googled Metformin and found out that many women feel sick after taking it. I called my GYN and told him that i started taking medication because i thought it was stomach infection. He said i should stop the antibiotics since Metformin causes all these side effects. What the hell! My antibiotics dose is over today and i feel like crap. I am supposed to be ovulating one of these days and i feel so miserable coz of all these medicines. I cried so much coz i felt like hell.

i need to get over this damn horrible feeling... help!

love,
babysos

KR replied. Hi Megs & babysos,

But no friends arnd and it' s been a yr or so I prepared it. After seeing your posts feel like having it.........mmh yummy!

KR replied. Hi Megs, babysos & sherry,

I' m doing well and hope that everyone is doing fine.

Sherry, glad to hear from you after a long time. Hope you are feeling all better. I' m sure you must have had a good time with mom as Megs said. I wish I could go to my mom' s place! Anyway, take care of your health and be strong. Don' t just let go your dreams, whatever the issue is. Hold on to it and you will surely get through it. Good luck!

Babysos, Why is that you r getting stomach infection often? Did you find out the cause? Hope you get well soon and everythig goes fine. And yea, I would love to eat evrything....but rite now my nausea is becomming worse and worse which makes me hate food and at same time am feeling hungry too...it' s bad.

Megs, lot' s of kicking huh? Must be naughty I guess. Enjoy your time with your hubby and again you will have wonderful time at parent' s. As for the Gyn, we have to have insurance here and each insurance group will cover certain physicians. So the problem is, we don' t know anyone in our insurance group. We are just thinking of finding a experienced person, somewhat of middle age and go for it this time. We can change the physicians inside the group anytime I guess. So in future if we come across any good one we can take appointment with them.

Hmmm, anyway girls take care everyone and keep in touch!

Love

Sherry replied. Hi all,

How are you guyz doing? I' m doing good,mom is fine and has left to Coorg (back to my native). I have severe cold and fever since a week and last month I did not have much to spend with my hubby since mamma was here and I' m expecting my chums in another day :).I was just taking care of her and by god' s grace she has recovered,I' m so sorry for the delay in responding to your msgs.

Coming back to TTC I have a lot of issues.Currenty I' m working from 2pm to 11pm,its a pretty good shift but sometimes gets too hectic.If there any changes in the shift then my body cycle will definitely get affected,I' m worried :( Hope things go fine, but I have stopped thinking about getting preggie...I only think when it has to happen it will happen!

Do keep in touch.Hope things are fine with KR and Megs and Babysos I wish you all the ver best!Keep smiling! KR replied. Hi Girls,

Hope you both are doing fine. Am doing okay too, just praying that this pregnancy goes smooth. As for me rite now, am feeling hungry every 40 mins, but the problem is my nausea keeps me away from taking food or even prepare myself something to eat. I' m unable to have a good night sleep too, so I feel tired all the time. May be it' s just because am worried abt the deliveryand how am gonna manage. Hmm.....well I believe we' ll all find a way to keep up. And certainly with you girls arnd I feel really relaxed and convinced.

Babysos, thanks for your update. It' s really good to know the facts and take steps accordingly, you' ve become more and more positive and strong which is gr8! You see you are ovulating and there' s no serious problem, that' s a great news. Shedding few pounds shudn' t be problem for you as you are very much active and exercise in regular basis. Just keep believing and try your best every cycle. Don' t slow down on any matter as you Dr. said it might take 6-9 months. Miracles happen every single day beyond medical reasons, so just be positive( as you are already) and you will surely have the good news when you least expect.

Megs, Say \" Hi\" to your lil one who seem to be naughty kicking mommy now. So glad to hear all abt your experiance. Keep writting and hope you' ll have more and more adventure with ur lil one on the days to come. I' ll be in my 11th week at the time of next visit. I' m still looking for a Gyn to chance my appointment to. It' s hard .......as we don' t have any friends or ppl who can suggest us regarding good Gyn arnd. Hoping for the best.

Take care girls! Keep in touch and have a wonderful weekend.

Lots of Luv,
KR Rose replied. Hi Babysos,
You are so sweet. You religiously answer everyone' s queries and buck them up. Hats off to u!! Plus you know everything. Its so cool. You are very sweet.

And thanks for telling me about the ratio thing. My ratio worked out to be 1.35:1, which looks like in the normal range. But anyway i will ask my doc to do it again for me.

As for my weight, I am underweight and have always been so. Probably one reason why I got PCOD. Its very hard for me to gain weight.

Yesterday I totally broke down, I cried and cried but gathered myself after thinking that it will all work out.

I know it will happen to me, its just that at times it gets really depressing.

Ok then,
Take care,
Rose Rose replied. Hi,

So my periods have gone berserk again. Its been over 35 days now and I only had a lil spotting on the 35th and 36th day, thats it. I dont know what to conclude out of this. Obviously I dint ovulate this month but I dunno why I had that spotting and nothing after that.

I guess will just have to wait for my body to tell me whats going on.

Babysos, like u had written in ur mail that ur FSH:LH levels were 1:4:1. I had my hormone levels checked in late 2005. Do they still hold value or does one have to get them done regularly?? Also they werent in a ratio form but seperately. FSH was something and LH was something. How is the ratio calculated?? Would you know?

Take care,
Rose

Meghnah replied. hello KR and babysos

megs KR replied. Hi Megs & babysos,

How are you guys doing? Am doing okay and was kinda busy with my daughter, so couldn' t make it to the thread for couple of days. And also as it was a long weekend here, so was totally engaged with my daughter takig her outside. My nausea keeeps me away from everything...eating, cooking, sleeping.....that kinda upsets me, but hoping to have it gone by the 2nd semister. My next appointment is on June 18th and hoping to hear the lil one' s heart beat and probably will have a chance to see the lil for the first time!

Babysos, so proud of you to know that you are becoming more and more positive. That' s wonderful and good for you girl! Just keep believing and you' ll definelty join the \" mom to be\" club. And hey actually I posted a reply on 25th to you, I guess you didn' t notice as it has moved to 2nd page. I was surprised to see your post saying that you have not recieved any msg from my side on your post on 26th. Plese do check the 2nd page for my previuos msg dated 25th. Hope everything will go on fine and nothing to worry abt!

Megs, you are always a charm to us and defintely you have put us all together in a very positive approach. Very glad to have you hear with us. Hope you are doing great and the rest in jan due board!

And sherry, Guess she' s busy with her mom and everything. Hope she updates us soon!
