PCOS Chat

We had Hubb's sister and her husband over for dinner last night, a dinner of delicious ham.

Anyways, so she and i had a chance to talk about our PCOS. She had the whole low estrogen level thing, whilst i have the insulin resistance part. She mentioned the different drugs she used to get pregnant the first time, and what they worked on this time to get pregnant again. Apparently she's only 6 weeks along, but it is still totally great to see another IF get pregnant. She's had to do the whole ovulation tracker thing too, cause i guess she doesn't really have a cycle due to the low estrogen. They had her on birth control and then they stopped it to get her ovulating or something.

All i have to do is take my medicine, start tracking the ovulation thing, and hopefully get a positive on those so i don't have to go on clomid. Hubbs' other sister is also trying to get pregnant this month, we always joke about how awesome it would be if all 3 of us were pregnant at the same time, and it could be a very real possibility.

One thing that annoys me about the ovulation tester things is they give you a months supply, which is 20 tests... seeing as how my cycle is almost double that, yea.... i'm rather unlucky. Lady doctor said i can probably expect to ovulate around day 22, so i figure i'll start testing around day 18 to be safe.
