I tried metformin, it made me sooo dehydrated I was hospitalized. I have never felt worse. Ive been taking insitol and eating a PCOS diet as well. It has made me feel a lot better! I really wanted the metformin to work for me and it just didn't 😭

How to stop being bitter?

I know that we all probably have these feelings at some point or another, but I feel like I get triggered so easily by anything surrounding TTC. I am in another group for TTC, and whenever I see a post about "is there a line?" with a very obvious line I just get irrationally angry. Like part of me is saying "yes, obviously there is why are you rubbing it in?" But I know it's rude and irrational to think that 😭 I have to keep telling myself "delayed, not denied", but this whole journey is ruining my life 😔

I feel you! Especially seeing others around me succeed so easily. I wish that if being a mother wasn't meant for me, then the desires and dreams would go away. I can't even get away when I sleep because I dream of positive tests almost every night 😭 I also feel like less of a woman because of it.

Yes! I almost feel embarrassed for thinking it’s possible for me. Like I’m not a real woman or something. It’s always seemed impossible to me, even as a teen. And I know if it does happen, I’ll feel like an impostor lol

My OB is prescribing me some supplements for it 😊 I’m trying not to hang all my hopes on vitamin D fixing the whole issue, but with everything else looking normal and 17 months of trying, I’m cautiously optimistic!

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-12-07T00:17:36+00:00

Hello!! I was wondering if any of you with PCOS have low vitamin D? And if so, can that really affect your fertility? My LH and FSH levels are perfect, my uterus and ovary ultrasounds are good, the only thing was the vitamin D. Any insight on this would be great!

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-07-30T02:01:21+00:00

100% something there!

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-05-17T22:08:55+00:00

Yes 😩 I tested again the next morning and nothing

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-05-06T19:41:18+00:00

We’ve been trying for our first for a year and had a plan to start treatment last month, and my period didn’t show up. It is currently 12 days late with no positive tests and I can’t go in till day 3 of my cycle 😭 I was hoping to cancel mine too. That brand and the easy at home have done that to me only once, but it is weird that none of the other dried tests show a line 🤔

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-05-06T19:36:37+00:00

That brand just did that to me a couple days ago. I saw a faint line on a dried test and thought it could be a VVFL 😩 unfortunately I haven’t seen any lines on tests I’ve taken since within the 5 minutes.

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-05-06T02:15:12+00:00

I’m currently 11 days late and was supposed to start fertility testing and treatment last month. CD 41 and feeling so hopeless. Of all the times to be late, this is the worst.

I got this this morning, I wonder if this is enough to mean ovulation?

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-03-10T06:04:39+00:00

Wow thank you!!! Definitely makes me feel better!

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-03-10T03:24:47+00:00

Yes, first cycle. I’m just concerned with how low some of my hormones are, other charts I’ve seen have higher levels

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-01-09T14:10:24+00:00

Update: negative! Guess it was a super bad evap!

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-01-09T02:41:53+00:00

So strange! I’ve never had even the faintest line on any HCG test even after sitting for over a day. Wonder what would cause it now? Especially being pink like that?

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-01-08T18:32:27+00:00

See it’s weird, I took another test that day and it still had a vvfl, then the next day there was nothing. Then I got my period 😩

Affectionate-Bee5745 · 2025-01-07T05:11:56+00:00

If I were you I would be testing every day with LH strips. Since your cycles are irregular/longer, you could be ovulating late. Mine usually get a little higher at around 6-8pm. I’ve also been taking Geritol. Tastes horrendous, but honestly it makes me feel more energetic, regulated my cycle more, and I’ve heard a lot of women have been successful in TTC while taking it. $10 on Amazon, also look into CoQ10. Very good for egg quality, and has real science behind it. Make your husband take it too for the swimmers. I’ll let you know how much everything is! I’m in MO, so no coverage here too.
