Metformin & PCOS

[babyjla]

Hello ladies!

Aly, sorry to hear your feeling down. Def know the feeling!

I just thought I'd give a little update since I haven't been on much. I went to my obgyn yesterday & it was a complete waste of my time. He basically wanted to up my dose of Clomid to 100mg & for me to continue on that for another 6 months or so. OBVIOUSLY Clomid isn't working for me. I mean this is my 12th month all-together taking Clomid, with no luck. So I'm thinking there must be something else going on. He said if I am not pregnant after 6 months on a higher dose that he'd refer me to a specialist. Even though he said last time that if I didn't get pregnant after 6 months he'd refer me to a specialist. He also wanted me to take provera again to induce AF. Even after I told him how horrible my period was last time I took Provera... -_- SO, I found an endocrinologist in my area that accepts patients without a referral, & set up an appointment. I really wanted to be referred for insurance purposes, but oh well! I go in on July 9th at 9am. Until then, I'm just gonna hang out. I'm not stressing over it anymore. I'm hoping that since I'll be seeing a FS, we MIGHT can get somewhere. So for now that's all I have to update.. Hope all you ladies are doing well!!!!

Thanks for all your support ladies! I tried progesterone in march and AF came but no ovulation. I'm honestly confused on what to do now. I'm not really upset about the birth control since I am having issues with DH at the moment so maybe this three month break is the best thing for right now.

Hello ladies! I am very worried about PCOS. I was just Dx with it about a week ago. My husband and I have really wanted children for sometime it seems We are at the time for treatment. I am worried the doctor will start metformin and play the waiting game. I don't want to wait forever and I don't want to spend a lot of time just trying this or that.

 

[babyjla]

WOOOOW JL! Going on 15 weeks!!! Gotta be exciting! When do you find out the sex?!

Dont get worried dear, many ladies around us got preggo within 6 months, PCOS just need your positive approach with excercise and fit diet .. good luck dear and visit you Dr

 

[Aein]

Good luck you too Lichong

JL, how are you doing dear and yes tell us when you are gonna know about the sex or will it be surprised till end

Bunny, whts update dear, you again visit dr or nt

 

[JL1363]

Aein - yay for O'ing!! Are you doing the oral or vaginal suppositories for your progesterone this round? Fx this will be your month!!

Fullofprayer - Fx that the met works for you!! PCOS can definitely make ttc a difficult journey, but it's different for everyone and some don't have as much as trouble as others. The ladies in this thread are all amazing and we are all here as support of you need it. Keep us updated on your progress. It's possible that the met will be all you need. and good luck!!

Baby and Aein - I can't believe I'm almost 15 weeks! It still doesn't feel real!! I will definitely be finding out the sex (I'm WAY too impatient to wait ) I have an appt with my OB on the 15th and during that time I'm hoping to schedule my anatomy scan (should be around 19 weeks). I'll keep you ladies updates!!

 

[Aein]

Woow good luck JL, my all prayers and wishes with you

JL, its the same vaginal one ... thats why m in doubt to not spotting like my body did in last month when i started it :/

 

[AlyCon]

I had a follow up with my doctor today about being put in birth control for three months and when I went in there was a different doctor. Apparently my old one is leaving. Anyway this new doctor talked to me for a few minutes and was confused at first but once he had all the facts he said going to a specialist is the best thing and sent in the referral it's so strange how that worked out. Went in for birth control and came out with a referral for the fertility specialist. Today was a good day

 

[Aein]

woow ths cool Aly, m hopeful your appt with specialist is opening bright ways for you, good luck

 

[JL1363]

Aly - so glad to hear that things are working out Good luck with the fertility specialist. I definitely would not have gotten my bfp without mine - hopefully you find the same thing!

Aein - hopefully last cycle was just an off one and you won't have any problems with spotting this cycle. Did your doc give any input as to what may have caused your super long cycle and spotting last month? I'm keeping my fx for you!!
