I'm 25 years old, a toddler teacher in a preschool for at risk kids, living in toasty Arizona with my aunt, youngest sister, and a menagerie of pets in our halfway renovated house! Newly TTC, via anonymous sperm donor and at home insemination! Not into men, so my terrible man issues advice is always- dump him, date me! So never ask me for man advice, lol! Super easygoing and eager to learn. And you're never in danger of sounding dumb to me because I am dumber than anyone else on the planet!!

Yesterday I completely filled 12 Ultra tampons, plus 3 overnight pads... please just kill me before the bloodloss does. According to dr. Google you're supposed to lose about 35ml of blood throughout your entire period... I've lost at least 5 times that in just the first day alone. I dont know what to do tbh, I can't miss work just for a period, but I'm in excruciating pain and exhausted and still actively bleeding like this.

After 134 days, guess whose period finally started!! I've never been so happy to have yo put on a pad in my life, lol! Thank you Metformin!!!

Going on three weeks now on Metformin, still no period, and I've had none of the side effects it's supposed to have. Everyone says it does terrible things but I'm taking 2000mg a day (2 in the am, 2 before bed) and not so much as a twinge? Are they even doing anything? 3 weeks with no changes at all seems bad to me. I can't afford to see an endochronologist, these pills are literally my only hope of conceiving, unless I win the lottery sometime soon. Has anyone had metformin work for them but no...

This girl on facebook literally has a kid every single year. She has a four year old, a three year old, a two year old, and almost one year old, and just announced she's pregnant again, with twins. All boys. How is it even possible for one human being to get that lucky five times in a row??? None of them planned, she was on BC with the first two! I'm torn between jealousy and 'god, aren't you tired yet??'

So just got my pcos confirmed by my ridiculously attractive doctor, which lessens the blow a bit, ngl. I was prescribed metformin, does anyone have any experience with this drug and what it does?

Only me. This literally could only happen to me (not pregnant).

So the doctor comes in and starts talking about how the test was negative, but I had lowish iron levels, and a vitamin D deficiency (which is bull bc I live on milk). No mention at all of my five months missing period, which I think is weird, but I'm not good at talking to people, and I don't go to many doctors appointments so I don't know if this is the procedure or not, so I don't say anything yet.

But then he starts putting h...

Waiting to see my doctor about my blood test results. Might cry... Might throw up... Maybe both...

Have you ever seen a period calendar so barren??

So this Thursday I get the results for my bloodwork... they ran the urine test twice and it was negative, which I was expecting but still killed. They took 9 vials of blood, which seems excessive? But whatever, insurance covers it all. I just want to know what is going on. Haven't had a period since September... I always have regular periods. 33 day cycles, four days of bleeding, i ovulate every month, always between cd16-cd18. I had a positive t...

So I had my appointment today. The urine tests where negative, surprise surprise, but they took blood for a quantitative blood test so I have a follow up to get those results next week, and she said if that test was negative we could discuss possible fertility issues. I cried, of course. I knew it was going to be negative, but some part of me was still hoping that maybe I was just a dumbass who couldn't follow the very simple directions for taking a hpt, and it would come up positive... there's ...

I'm so nervous about my blood test on Wednesday... I'm either going to get great news, or really really bad news, and I can't handle it. Like, I am entirely the sort of dumbass who doesn't find out she's pregnant until she's 3 months along, but I'm ALSO the sort of person who would miss a period for 82 days only to get it the same day I go in for a pregnancy test! I swear I've been feeling these weird fluttery movements at night, but I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up. I just feel so diff...
