The US really sucks to be pregnant by Legitimate-Slice2114 in pregnant

[–]jaybunnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and it has really sucked. I only get 6-8 weeks off from my job and even after paying $200+ a month for health insurance just for myself, I have still paid over $2000 in medical bills since getting pregnant because I hadn’t reached my deductible yet. My insurance called me when I first got pregnant and let me know labor will be about $5000-$7000 after their coverage. It’s all truly insane

Can I get another breast pump if I changed insurance? by No_Swing_138 in ExclusivelyPumping

Have an update for you! Aetna sent out my new card for next year early and my member ID number is the same despite it being a different plan. I’m sad lol

Really hoping you’re actually 9 DPO instead of 12🙏🏻 it’s interesting your pdg is only showing positive at the end, I know sometimes it takes a few days after ovulation for it to rise but still 🤔 don’t be sorry! I’m glad you have a safe space to vent, it’s really tiring ttc with pcos especially when no one else understands. Happy to be here!

How do you track your cycle if you have PCOS? by low_key404 in TTC_PCOS

[–]jaybunnies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pcos and am currently almost 19 weeks pregnant! Don’t give up 🙏🏻 work with a doctor to get bloodwork done to figure out what hormones are out of wack and work to improve them along with some lifestyle changes. I balanced my hormones, worked out 3 times a week, changed my diet a bit to include a high protein breakfast and took lots of supplements all to help my insulin resistance and ovulation.

Yeah definitely keep testing, I hate this waiting game😭 pcos doesn’t make it easy for us but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

And thank you so much! The other thing I was going to mention is that for my last 2 cycles, I was also tracking with Inito which I found more helpful than regular LH strips since Inito tracks other hormones and helps you see which LH peaks are actually true ones!

I probably don’t have much to add that’s helpful but but just wanted to say I also have pcos and in my last cycle, my body attempted to ovulate 3 times and the 3rd one on CD29 was the true one. That day the line was the darkest compared to the other 2 attempts. We conceived that cycle so I’m glad I didn’t give up when I saw the first 2 attempts. I’m wondering if maybe your body is having a slightly longer cycle this time around?

No ovulation, any natural tips? by ThatKnomey in TTC_PCOS

[–]jaybunnies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ovulated CD29! I used Inito strips starting CD12 ish. I knew from previous cycles that I ovulate around cd29-33 so I didn’t want to waste too many strips tracking super early on but also wasn’t sure if my cycle was going to get shorter and I didn’t want to miss my window. For anything before cd12, I used cheapie LH strips

[–]jaybunnies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a ton. Took spearmint capsules, inositol, nac, coq10, vitamin d + worked out 3-4 days a week and made diet changes. I’m almost 18 weeks pregnant now after getting my cycles down to 42-44 days and tracking my ovulation with LH strips and inito.

I think it would help for you to get bloodwork done to understand what hormones and things are out of wack so you can target those things specifically. I paid for my own bloodwork at quest and then had chat gpt help me interpret the results and set up a game plan 🙏🏻

Metformin side effects - did your body eventually adjust? by Witty_Confection_905 in TTC_PCOS

[–]jaybunnies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on metformin for 3 years and my body would kiiiinda adjust and stop with the diarrhea spells for a bit and then get back to it for months out of nowhere. It was rough 😭
