Back on hippy, supplement duty again.

Was talking to one of my colleagues who has just come back from maternity leave about my troubles trying to lose weight and she was telling me that she was ttc for years but had PCOS and wasn't ovulating. She tried metformin but that made her ill and had no success with clomid. Then she took something called d-chiro insatol (I had her write it down for me) which is in buckwheat flour and carob and you can also buy supplements. This made her ovulate and 2 months later she got her BFP.

Maybe worth a Google for the PCOS ladies.

Is the sugar free polos thing that they have a laxative effect if you eat too many?

As someone entirely disbelieving of all hippy supplements I am now the proud owner of inositol (read up on it- it's a form of the d chiro insatol recommended in the Ultimate PCOS Handbook http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=u4zFnXW0SV4C&pg=PT189&lpg=PT189&dq=d+chiro+inositol+cheung+pcos&source=bl&ots=Lzyj8QU0QG&sig=MfVt74cE3y0aVc8pju52KHRCG7c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=bQwHUfvzJpSM0wXoh4GQDA&ved=0CFMQ6AEwBA) and agnus castus. I will soon be rattling... :rotfl:

Thanks codemonkey! Makes me feel a little more positive that I'm not just sitting around waiting for FS appointment in (bloody) May now...

Lilymay - So sorry Lily. I know there is nothing we can say to make it any better. Are you having any bloods done while you are on clomid?

Lily, do you usually have a short LP? I had a really short LP (10 days) my second month on clomid but it was a blip. Not sure if this is usual for you but just wanted to share my experience in case it is any help. I forgot how many clomid's you've had now but it can throw your body out of whack whilst its getting used to it, as I found.

Becca, I'm still in the hopeful stage of the list, can you stick me down at the bottom on CD4?

I had planned on staying away from the chocolate last night but the need hit hard and I inhaled a Cadbury's bunny! :EasterBun

Good luck Team Lowe! Get your sexy song on!

Big hugs Lily, hope AF stays away.
