I was Dx with PCOS with insulin resistance. Some PCOS'ers do get false +OPK's, but I don't, and they work well for me to give me a heads-up when to expect O, then the charting will confirm when O happens. I like it because I can plan when to have date nights with DH.

I usually use Baby Wishes, but there's use early-pregnancy-tests. com, or buy them off of eBay or Amazon. Try Googling cheap pregnancy tests, and a bunch of sites come up.

Do you take Metformin? I do, and it's eally helped me. I've lost 40 lbs. since starting it. I plan on staying on it indefinitely. I stopped it when I got pregnant, and it might've had a factor in the M/C, but I don'tknow that for sure, so next time I plan on staying on it throughout the pregnancy.

oh wow, it's nice to hear that someone knows what I'm going through with this pcos crap, even though I wouldnt want anyone to have it. It has made my life hell the last 7 years.

I admit I'm not very good at staying on metformin, but the weight loss is a motivator to stay on it. I'm kind of scared of staying on it the entire pregnancy. A friend of mine did and she ended up having a 11 pound 8 ounce baby. She had normal sized babies before then. I do stay on it through the first tri though.

I have heard of early-pregnancy-tests.com and will look into it in the next couple days. It would be nice to be able to learn my body instead of guessing all the time.

I have PCOS too, but actually ovulate on my own, to the surprise of my docs. I was put on metformin for a while, and I lost weight, but the gastro side effects killed me. Does it bother you the same way?

Yes it does. I can eat lettuce and would have a tore up stomach dry.gif . I was put on just 1000 a day; was taking 2500 at one point.

Congrats on your new baby coming! wub.gif

QUOTE (youngmomofone @ Jun 21 2010, 09:16 PM)
My doc called me in provera to take, and she said to take another test just to be sure. I took one this morning and it was a faint positive in the correct time limit this time. I can't get pics on here from my phone or I would have you all access it for me. I sent it to my friend and she says she definitely can tell something's there. That was on my last dollar general test, so I went out this evening and bought a Target brand test. I don't feel comfortable paying 17-18 bucks for a test just yet, so I settled for a $4 and hoping it is better than the dollar one.

I can see the NP in the office, who is recently new (and available thank goodness!), so my doc wants me to call back later this week to make an appointment.

Faint line is a line though. My line w/Isabelle was super faint, but it was there! My friend Kate never did test positive w/her daughter. She took a test just for laughs when she was 6 months pregnant and it was STILL negative. So make sure you're sure its negative....


Edited to say: just finished reading the entire post blush.gif Sorry about the negative sad.gif
