FRIDAY TTC POST (baby makin time)
Hello ladies. Another week in this journey. How are you all holding up? I know how hard this road can be, so fess up...what is on your mind this week? This is a share and care post ya know! To the ladies that posted last week:
Kristen~ Welcome! And good luck. Just curious. A lot of us have pcos. What birth control were you on...and how were your cycles pre wls? For me, going off bc my cycles got longer and longer. Even after wls I needed metformin to regulate my cycles. I know you are just starting to try and don't want to put too much pressure on you...but you may want to try some ovulation test strips for now, just to make sure you are timing things right.
Let us know if you need more help.
Kprc1~ well... af or bfp? How was your week?
Tracy ~ gotcha on the list. Good luck!
Tami ~ I am so sorry that you probably missed a + opk. When you say that the opk is later each cycle...is your cycle length staying the same....meaning is your luteal phase long enough, or is it shortening?
