I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 23 and was told by my gyno that unless I lost approx 50lbs the chances of ever getting preggers was slim to none. Keep in mind I'm 5'8 and weigh right at 250lbs. I'm active, and my weight has never prohibited me from doing the things I want. I stayed on the bc patch and metformin for over 3 years. Finally my hormones and attitude got the best of me and I had to choose between staying on BC or my husband lol. So we ditched the pills and patch in January 2014. We found out three weeks ago we're expecting our first child First ultrasound was this past Monday. Hubby couldn't make it because of work, so I had two of my best friends go with me. It was AMAZING!!!!! I took a copy of the "first picture" to staples and had them make a postcard for my husband. I hope it will upload for you all to see
Wow, way to make some one feel welcome. Sounds like you guys are more of a freaking clique than a support blog. Wtf
Hmmmm you were given congrats and some honest feedback but that's not good enough huh? I guess I should have just said "like OMGZ! You are totes preggerz!! Me too! Best preggerz 4e!"
I always wonder how the newbs who obviously need a thicker skin are going to feel when their kid says "I hate you!" To them for the first time. Probably life shattering.
@maridaniellev They don't believe in support. I don't think they were hugged as children. Just ignore the snark. In the real world they can't get away with treating people like this. I guess everyone needs an outlet.
Apparently this pregnancy board isn't to support anyone who is pregnant. But since I don't have children who tell me they hate me (lol), what do I know?
I'll stick to being kind, just like I tell my 15, 9 and 7 year old to be.
Congrats in being pregNANT. I get the BC vs husband thing - it kills my sex drive too. I chose the Paragard until we were ready for TTC though. You might try one of those after this baby... If you're not ovulating regularly you could just use progesterone occasionally to stimulate a period. (If you don't ovulate somewhat regularly your uterine lining just builds up & can increase your risk for endometrial cancer.)
Side note-- I freaking HATE when shitty docs tell people they will never get pregnant b/c of X, Y, or Z. Having a condition that makes it more difficult is not the same as true IF & I can't tell you how many women I see with unwanted pregnancies because "They told me I couldn't get pregnant!"

I didn't know I was pregnant. Almost every damn episode!

Mother of the year award right here! Her kids never say anything unkind! What are your secrets?! Please share! Just give me a minute while I catch my eyeballs....they rolled really far away.<br><br>
I also love how you've conveniently looked past the mountains of support these women give.
@molassa is a troll who comes out to play but then always falls back in the shadows. Undoubtedly one of these days she will get herself banned with the nasty shit she says while trying to convince everyone how much better she is than everyone else.
Because isn't saying we weren't hugged as children so sweet?! Golly she's so nice. Teach me more, molasses.
@janda426 yeah I checked out her history after posting. My eyes are burning from all the pure joy she's posted.
If it's impossible that everyone would be this "mean" in real life, does that mean it's impossible someone would be such a huge WK in real life? Because I cannot seem to picture them trying to save the day in real life.

I'm sure this has been covered already because I'm posting without reading any further just because you pissed me off, but if you were even involved in some of the conversations this wonderful group of ladies have had you would notice how many losses we've had and how much fucking support there really is here. And to add the comment "I don't think they were hugged as children"..... Yes, since we know what common sense is and only speak the truth with scientific facts and don't sugar coat anything, that's definitely because we weren't hugged. I forgot being hugged as a child means unicorn farts when you're older (but what do I know, I wasn't ever hugged!).
Do us a favor and step off your high horse before you post again. Kthxbai.
Wow OP way to introduce yourself. I congratulated you and looked past your use of the gag inducing word preggers and then you insult all my friends who by the way are and were very supportive to me when I had a scare. You only get what you give here and last I checked TB isn't a blog nor is it a support group
Congratulations! I was diagnosed with PCOS also and told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant on my own and here I am, without any help. It's very exciting! Very happy for you
@crunchymamaof2 awwww you checked my history.... Seriously flattered. Maybe I'm not on here all day and in my "shadow" because I actually have a life. I don't need to spend my days being mean to unsuspecting posters.
crunchymamaof2 sure! They support certain people. But even if you polish a turd, it is still a turd. If I saw someone speak to another person the way some of you do in real life, I'd say the exact same thing and let that person know I think it is pathetic. Is it your right to be an ass? Of course! But I'm going to speak my mind accordingly. And yep, my children are awesome! Not perfect, but they don't witness childish behavior from me. I never told my mom I hated her. Is that a thing? Maybe that would actually explain why it seems okay with many of you to write like you really have no concern for anyone else?
Crunchy? Why is it hard to imagine you actually care about the environment?
@mamachancey actually, when I click on the app, I get to this board by clicking the word "community."
It actually is meant for moms to use as a place to ask questions and yes, support. Obviously your friends only support a chosen few, and that is pretty lame. I mean, they don't mind hurting anyone's feelings and well, this is America so they can have at it. I just choose to call out that sort of bullshit, which is also my right.
@molassa Why is it you're here? You don't think this is a supportive place, you don't like the people here (ps. they don't like you either), and yet you keep coming back for more. Why is that? What do you stand to gain or accomplish in this situation?
You couldn't be more wrong in your assessment of this place though. This group is so fucking supportive that I've stuck around, despite having had a miscarriage. I don't want to leave because people here have been there for me through the emotional roller coaster I've been on the last few weeks. I'm sorry that you are unable to make meaningful connections with people here, but that isn't because nobody here is willing to support those around them. I can promise you that.

I guess the world is full of mysteries.
Isn't it ironic that you just wasted those precious minutes of your perfect life insulting everyone here? Go back to raising those perfect children of yours. You've contributed absolutely nothing to this community. Nothing.

I am not sure why but I feel that word diminishes the beauty of pregnancy.
