Introducing myself (child mentioned)

Hi everyone. My name is *edited by mod* and I am 38 years old. I have had PCOS since I was 14, just found out I have low progesterone, and had gastric bypass 2 years ago and because of my pcos in only lost half of the weight i wanted. My SO and I had our first biological child together over 9 years ago and concieved her when I was the same weight I am now and while on both the patch and metformin. Back then I was not even TTC. We have been trying again for the last 4 months and this is my 1st round of clomid 50mg (cd3-7 ). I am currently 11 dpo and I think cd 24. I still am getting bfn on pg tests and am now waiting to see if AF is going to be visit even though I have some pg symptoms but know that my AF and pcos can play games with my mind. I am trying to stay positive but am now finding myself trying to find all reasons to cling to the hope that I will get a bfp by end of week but the other half of me has begun to give up while expecting that I may need to start round two of clomid next week. I use opks and chart my temp like my Dr told me to and am still new at temping and am not perfect at it.

    Hi there and welcome to the board!   I used my mod powers to edit your name out of your post because it's a dangerous world out there...  be sure to protect your privacy!   It's a good idea also to change your S/N also to something more anonymous.  Pics are  fine but you don't want nosey friends or coworkers googling your real name and finding your private business.

    This is a great group of women and I think that you'll fit right in.    I'm wondering why in the world your Dr wants you to temp.  PCOS can really screw up your temps and so does Clomid!  It can be an exercise in futility and you should be monitored while on fertility drugs through bloodwork and ultrasounds anyway.   I hope that you're being monitored on that Clomid (meaning seeing an RE and not an OBGYN) for reasons that you'll learn as you read prior posts on this board.

    Good luck and I hope that your stay is short and sweet!

    Thank you. I currently am not being monitor by scans and had to go through 3 months of treatment by my obgyn before she can refer me to an RE per my insurance requirements. She said she wanted me to monitor by my symptoms, temp and opks for now until I am able to be seen by an RE. My insurance will only pay for RE and infertility treatment if I meet certain requirements. She was doing progesterone levels but not this week. She said if I do not concieve on this round we would discuss additional ways to monitor. Currently I have to drive over 1-2 hours to see and OBGYN because my county obgyn's are not accepting patients and the nearest RE for me is over 1 hour drive from me each way. How do I edit my screen name?

    Oh I just saw my screen name. That's not my real name. Thought I had used my last name but it's not. ;;)
