Metformin & PCOS

[JL1363]

Bunny - I'm so glad to hear you're ok!!

Heard about a couple of other smashes on that road the same day and day after and one was a fatality someone was looking down on me that day. I am so lucky. A few stitches is nothing compared to what could of happened. It's just sinking in now about how serious it was. A lorry or something must have slipped diesel the whole length of the main road.

Bunny, so glad to hear you are OK!!!!

Aein, good luck with your scan!!

I'm currently on CD67 (just counted!) & STILL no AF. I go to the OBGYN on Wednesday morning. I'm going to demand to be referred to a specialist. I don't think we're getting anywhere with this doc either, so its time to move on. I've lost another pound, bringing my total to 28lbs lost. It feels good to say I've lost so much! Garden is going good! I have a pepper starting to grow on one of my plants Sooo exciting! I have had stomach troubles for the last week or so. My tummy just hurts all the time. I don't feel queasy, but I have diarrhea like very day. & my head has been hurting almost every day. & my back has been hurting. But I think I'm sleeping wrong or something because my neck & shoulders were sore the other morning. Good ole hubbs gave me a nice back massage the other morning, it was sooo nice! I'm curious to see how this doc appointment goes, because I'm not going to just accept being put on Clomid again for another 3 months, same dose, & come back to do it all over again. its getting us no where. I found out that one of the girls I work with has PCOS also, so I feel a little more normal. Its nice to know someone else in person who has it. She's going to start trying next month, & I told her that I'm going on 3 years of trying. She was so shocked to learn that it might take a long time. I hope for her sake it doesn't. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on anyone. Anywaaaays, that's that. Nothing really new going on here. Maybe I'll have good news Wednesday!

 

[Aein]

Baby, your plan looks good and m hopeful it will turn in a positive way
i'm also taking 3rd round of Clomid and i remember Dr said we just take it for 3 months.. so let see if no resuly with this cycle , might i will change my Doc too

i've flight on 2 June... so still hope the days m here should bring any good news for me just hopeful

 

[lichongchai]

Update from me. Went for my CD11 scan today. My biggest follicle was 12mm. Not sure if this is good or not. Need to go back in two days for another scan.

Any inputs on whether the follicle growth is normal or slow?

 

[Aein]

woow your folly is best dear, now next scan show how much it grows in 2 or 3 days time
but hopefully it will be till 18 or above .., as in my case Dr said for Ovulation we need 18mm

good luck dear, i suggest you to do BDIng every next day

m also going for scan in evening m on CD11 too

 

[Aein]

[SweetMel]

It's a good thing you are alright bunny. Too bad about your poor car.

 

[lichongchai]

Aein, that is really good news for you. You should definitely be ovulating in the next 3-4 days. Will you be taking the HCG shot? Hope you can catch the egg for good this time

 

[Aein]

Aein, that is really good news for you. You should definitely be ovulating in the next 3-4 days. Will you be taking the HCG shot? Hope you can catch the egg for good this time

[AlyCon]

Sorry I've been gone a while. I'm BFN. Going to the doctor next week to figure out if I'm going on birth control or not.

 

[Aein]

Good luck with your appt Aly

why asking for birth pills?? why you need??

 

[AlyCon]

Since I don't get AF naturally and still haven't gotten it on Metformin my doctor wants me to try birth control for three months to see if it will help regulate AF. Also DH and I have been having problems and I honestly don't know if TTC is still a good idea right now. I guess I'll see if at the end of three months we still haven't improved then I might stay on it a little longer. This sucks. So many happy people are pregnant and have babies and here I am childless and miserable

 

[Aein]

Aly dont feel like this, see m here in same phase with you, baby, Krissue and Swetmel also

so just be relax and do as your Dr saying, and onething plz plz be positive try to be happy n relax, everything will end on a right track

 

[Aein]

my tdy scan showed left folli increased @19 ... Dr precribed HCG shot (Pregnyl) tomorrow ... so let see

 

[Bunny_Boo]

Aein - Good luck Keep us updated!

Aly - Sorry you feel like that we all have our down days, I'm sure all the ladies can empathise. Maybe the three months on bc will be less stressful and you and your OH can have some quality time together

 

[markswife10]

Good luck Aein!!!

So sorry Ally Your doctor won't try progesterone first? Sometimes progesterone taken for a few days and then stopped will bring on AF. While TTC I would NOT tolerate a doctor putting me on birth control, I would try the progesterone to bring on AF first. But whatever you do I hope it helps.

 

[StayHopeful]

AlyCon, sorry to hear you're down. Metformin hasn't helped me with AF either, my doctor has been inducing it with progesterone for the past two cycles. We're moving on to IVF though so from now on it's back to the more medicated cycles. I hope that things get better with DH! I know that my DH and I have definitely had our ups and downs in the past year. TTC is the most stressful, difficult thing we've been through. And being super hormonal doesn't help matters either...
