Trying To Conceive » Group

We have been trying to conceive since December. A relatively short period of time, but it has been soooo stressful. I have been pregnant 3 times in this time frame .. however, each has ended in miscarriage in or around 6 weeks.

I always thought I would be relaxed about conceiving, but with the first two pregnancies I became psycho baby obsessed woman. I knew each time I was pregnant within days of conception and it felt like forever until I could take the test to prove it. Now I am physically and mentally drained and am going to take a break from ttc for a while to give myself and our relationship time to recover. I do not want the focus of our relationship to be about having a child and despite us both wanting a child, it is kinda feeling that is what is happening. (if that makes sense?)

I am glad to have found this group, it is good to meet others who are ttc.

im feeling sick, i could smell a gas leak this morning and noone else could, Sooo lucky, it was utside, the gas bottle, it had been left on, and i can smell things that noone else can, for last few days. Ive been feeling sick on and off for a few days too, really random, for maybe 5 mins at a time, 3-10 times throughout the day. this morning i had, *light pink* discharge. im due on sunday. Im trying really hard not get my hopes up, but im dying to take a test!Maybe this month??

we have now been trying for 10 months to concieve. its taking so long!!!! i went to my doc on thursday and asked him what to do, he said my last lot of test results came back that all my hormones looked normal so my hubby has to have a sperm count. im the problem though, i can feel it. nothing goes right for me.

Did the test last night after having a little spotting yesturday morning and guess what comes up 2 pink lines YEAH

Not sure where to start.....
ABOUT ME
I was diagnosed with PCOS on the 10th Oct and saw a GYNI for my first appointment in Nov. I have another appointmnt on thursday and hopefully she has all the bloody test results back and starts me on something to induce a period (I haven't had one for since April 07)

Anyway I live in Bendigo and have a great supportive husband so things should all work out. I have been doing my Basal Temprature but it doesn't seem to be very clear as it just keeps going up and down.

If there is anyone TTC at the moment let me know and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Firstly when trying to concieve try to maintain a steady weight so dont go on any crash diets!!

Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day! It not only helps stablize your blood sugar level but help you maintain a stead appitite thruought the day. Cut back on your morning coffee and swap it for a juice or water.

Try to have some sort of protien in every meal like eggs, fish, skim milk or tofu.

A yummy healthy breakfast could be A smoothie -

• 1/2 cup frozen peach slices
• 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

1. In a blender, blend the peaches, strawberries, milk, and ice cubes until smooth.

Then if your a snack type or person like me fruit is always the best so a banana or whatever is in season is good.

Lunch should be the main meal, eating such a huge meal before bed isn't good for those trying to maintain a steady weight.

lunch meals could be things like -

Tuna salad, chicken ceasar slad, beef tacos (yum), or zucchini lasagne.

Or my fav Almond chicken salad-

2 cups asparagus tips, diagonally cut

1/2 cup plain, non-fat yogurt

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

2 cups cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

spinach leaves

1. Steam asparagus for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, curry, lemon juice and salt.

3. Add asparagus, chicken, bell pepper, cilantro and almonds and toss to coat.

4. Serve on fresh spinach leaves.

and Then dinner, try to keep it filling yet light so some soup or stew with lost of veges will do the trick.

My fav soup is Vege soup with beef -

2 cups canned or fresh tomatoes

2 cups cabbage

1 cup or 3-4 carrots, sliced

2 cups green beans

2 cups diced potatoes

1/2 cup celery

1 lb. stew beef or leftover beef and stock from roast

1. If meat has not been cooked, cook until tender in 1–2 tablespoons oil.
2. Combine all vegetables with cooked meat. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer for one hour. You may add broth or tomato juice if additional liquid is needed.

Now the part I hate is - its best to take it easy with dessert, but you can have fruit salad!!

Now if you want you can sprinkle some nutmeg on you hot choc milk before bed, its ment to increase sexual activity ;)

grrr its doing my head in!! It seems all around me people are pregnant, now, just for the record i genuinely AM happy for all of them, i just hate missing out, been trying to tackle my battle with the bulge, walking lots, TRYING to no eat as much, im 6 weeks late, been feeling really sick on and off last few days with headches and nasea, took a bt 3 weeks agoi it was neg, wondered if maybe it was possible it was to early, but why would i be pregnant?? I wnt to be so why would it happen?? sorry for my rant, its just not fair! i need someone to walk with and keep me motivated without feeling like a fat unfit slob lol. Sorry, just needed to get it off my chest. And i really am happy, for my friends who are pregnant, i can try settle to be aunty natz from afar hehe

Well its been a long 3 months but I'm back.  Anways I'm writing to say that a lot has changed since I was last on.  I can't believe it but I was emailed by an SBS writer inviting me to talk to him in regards to my articles!  I can't believe it because it was sent in may and I haven't been on the website since may.  Anyway I have taken a different course of action in the fight against my PCOS.  The clomide was unsuccessful for the first 2 months.  I am now on a contraceptive pill that will hopefully get rid of the syndrome.  I will be on it for 1 year and by the end of it I hope to able to conceive naturally.

I might also be a bit more mature!  But anyways people with PCOS holla me because it helps to talk about it!
