I have a sneaking suspicion that I may have PCOS. The ONLY reason I would doubt that is because when I had my miscarriage, I had a couple ultrasounds to check my uterus to verify and there weren't any cysts.
However, my cycle is extremely irregular with up and down temps (I bbt every morning, 6:45am, and if I can figure out how, I would add a link to my crazy charts). I am currently on cd52 with ovulation nowhere in sight. My last cycle was 92 days long. Once I do ovulate, my luteal phase is nice and normal- it's just the actual ovulating (THE MOST FRIGGIN IMPORTANT PART!) takes forever. Type 1 diabetes does run in my family and my parents were told a long time ago that, since my brother has it, I am more likely to be insulin resistant because of that.
But I never really thought about having PCOS because no cysts were found in my ultrasounds. That doesn't necessarily rule it out though, does it?
Anyway, my main question, until I see my holistic doctor at the beginning of next month, is- are there any vitamins that can mimic metaformin? I WAS seeing an ob/gyn who I think is a big ditz. She swore left and right that she specialized in infertility- but from day one told my not to worry about temping because it meant nothing and that it's not possible to ovulate after cd18. Needless to say, I stopped seeing her after 6 months of clomid that threw my hormones off the deep end and she kept wanting to pump me with more pills (ie- more money for her with no answers).
Sorry that I got rant-y, but I'm so confused and so lost and so down about this whole thing. Going on 3 years ttc and all I can still think about is my mc in Dec 2012 and how if I had possibly done something different, my baby would be here with me...
