Hello, everyone! May I join you?
I'm 27, mother to my 5 year old DS. DH and I tried to conceive for 2.5 years for another baby and spent the last year ntnp (3.5 years total) due to the overwhelming stress I was experiencing from unsuccessfully ttc. I have periods every 28-35 days every month...typically 31-32 days so I assumed I was ovulating just fine.
I had went to see 2 doctors before this one I currently have and really never got any answers. DH and I decided we were going to pull out all the stops and ask questions until we had some sort of answer or path!
Last week I found out I had:
Very low thyroid levels
High testosterone
Mild pcos
Low day 23 progesterone. Dr. Said my O wasn't strong enough.
So here I am, fresh on metformin and thyroid medication. The metformin does cause me gastrointestinal issues
I am only on 500mg but am to slowly work my way up to 1500mg.
I also have a dose of clomid just waiting to be used. My dr. Suggested that I let the metformin and thyroid meds work their way into my system and on my next cycle start the clomid, 50mg...days 5-9.
I am currently experiencing af so I have a whole month before I'm able to start. Would love to hear your experience and go on this journey with you all. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Praying the clomid does the trick!
I have looked up people who take it days 2-6 also. Not sure the difference or the why behind it. Sorry for my extra long post!!! Nice to meet you all!
