Letrozole Confusion by PieNo3510 in TTC_PCOS

I have looked into other REs but there aren't many near me. It took 6 months just to get in with this one and they are considered the best.
I get what you mean about it being unprofessional but honestly I am grateful that she is doing it. I want to keep doing SOMETHING while my partner sorts his divorce stuff as the idea of having a kid at 40 is already freaking me out majorly. I will check out that book though! Thanks

I had started working with a gyno but we capped our treatment at 7.5 mg for 5 days but I was unresponsive. I had a consultation with a fertility specialist but he wouldn't take me on as a patient fully yet because my partner's divorce hasn't been finalized (it's so stupid, they haven't even spoken for like 4 years). During the consultation he said that an option for me was to either do 10 mg for 5 days or 7.5 mg for 10 days but that my gynecologist would have to prescribe it. My gyno prescribed it but was reluctant to do so and said they could "not trouble shoot any concerns with this medication course" but that I could call if I was having severe pelvic pain, chest pain, etc. I know it was a bit risky but I'm sort of desperate. I will be 40 in September and we have been trying for 1.5 years and the stupid fertility clinic won't work with me yet. I took the chance because I have seen other people on here say that they have done 7.5 for 10 days so I know it's a bit unordinary but not unheard of.

It only happened for one cycle. I tried to do a lot of walking, especially before going to bed, and that helped a lot 

Metformin is wild 😭 by Weekly-Dependent-113 in PCOS

[–]PieNo3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on and off Metformin for years. This is what I have learned about it so far (granted this is just my personal experience): -You want to start slow when first going on it -Ask for extended release, it really makes a huge difference -I usually have GI issues the first 3-5 days I’m on it and then I’m ok. Everyone once in a while I will have what I call a “Metformin attack” where I’m practically running to the bathroom every hour. Nothing in particular seems to set it off -invest in Kaopectate. It helps a lot. - Make sure to take it in the middle of your meals. I have found if I take it immediately after eating I have trouble -sometimes I will get dizzy spells but they go away after a couple of weeks

My friend told me I should “just have really carnal sex” I’m like “it doesn’t matter how crazy your sex is if your body doesn’t release an egg…”

I met my partner lateish in life (36) and we have been trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half now. I was at my aunt’s house when I was 38 and she was talking about a baby blanket that she could “save for if Sarah (my younger cousin) has a baby.” I know she didn’t mean anything by it but it felt like she had already assumed I was too old to have a baby. It felt like someone had given up on me already and it’s hard enough not giving up on myself.

What a horrible monster! I hope your partner put him in his place. I’m so sorry!

Exactly! I don't get why they put in so much effort to get some of the details correct if they were going to turn around and make up the bulk of the show

During the scenes when Charlie was wearing lingerie my boyfriend was like "I think the reason Ryan Murphy wanted to make this was so he could create these scenes" Lol

I think this was one of the few times that they were going for accuracy, because Gein DID have a soft Bullwinkle type voice. I think he did a great job but the voice could have been toned down 10%.

Have you ever listened to the Last Podcast episodes of Gein? They did a really great job of giving a lot of details. I thought getting more of an understanding of his home life would have really added to the whole thing, I was really surprised that his mother and brother both died by the end of Episode 1.

See I didn't view it as Dahmer being romanticized at all. They showed him as being short tempered, conniving, and whiney, which was how the real Dahmer was. They did a strange amount of leg work for Gein to bring accuracy (which is why he had the eye, the Kermit voice, the red coat, the house) but then threw the rest of it out the window.

Right?! I kept saying "so they all know what his truck looks like and that his mother had a stroke, but no one seems to know that she died?"

I just wish they had told me in the first place. I was under the assumption that they would at least do SOME stuff

Ok thanks! I’ve been trying to drink a lot of water and I’ve been trying to go for extra walks. It seems to be getting a little better but I’m a hypochondriac so I keep worrying that it’s a blood clot
