PCOS || Clomid || ROUND 2 - Kinda || Advice?

[VivaLaMrs]

Hello Everyone!

I am on CD 28 after my first round of Clomid. I did NOT have a positive OPK and was crushed! I called my OBGYN office and was told - by another doctor that I could have ovulated becasue those tests are not accurate for those with PCOS or those taking TTC medication. (Says it on the box - btw MY Dr. told me to POAS)

Anyway - called my OBGYN office again and asked for them to speak to MY doctor to see what she would advise. I was told my Clomid prescription was refilled and I should take it again. My questions is - what if I did Ovulate late and am pregnant... I am afraid this Clomid may do more harm than good.

I did ask for an US or BW to confirm ovulation or anovulation - but was denied. I am just being told to take my Clomid and do a follow-up appointment in April. It was strange - since this time around... I was told not to take the Progesterone (because you ONLY need a period once every three months) and just go straight for the Clomid.

This is all new to me as we have been TTC for over a year and have just gone through our FIRST Clmid cycle - which apparently failed - maybe?

I'm sorry you're in this dumb position. This is where I was a few months ago.

Firstly I would be asking your doctor again to check your progesterone. It's not very wise to take the same dose again if it didn't work or go up a higher dose if you don't need to.

In saying that, I did three rounds of Clomid. 50mg, no ovulation and no positive OPK. I went back on provera/progesterone. Second cycle on 100mg, positive OPK and I did ovulate. Third cycle, no positive OPK, I did ovulate and I conceived.

I would do a pregnancy test before starting another round of Clomid. If it's negative by about CD 35 you'll know that you're not pregnant. Most doctors like you to have a period before you start Clomid. Your lining will build up and it could become too thick to implant.

If I was in your position, I'd look for a new OB/GYN or go to a reproduction endocrinologist instead. They specialize in PCOS and will give you much better advice.
