I take it days 5-9, when I asked why I couldn't take it earlier (because I've seen days 2-6 and 3-7) the nurse gave me this vague answer about it being a more 'natural' cycle with days 5-9 because you are expected to ovulate at a more 'normal' time. So your body has enough time to gear up for ovulation and then have a normal luteal phase. I'm not sure how true that is :wacko: :shrug:
 
I have a question about temping--if there is definitely a temperature rise does that mean you definitely ovulated?

I just started temping this month, I didn't really keep track while I was on holiday (there was a six hour time difference, and I wasn't waking up at regular times), but when I started back up again there's a noticable temperature shift (you can click on my ovulation chart link if you want to take a look).

Does this mean that Clomid actually worked this cycle or can I have the temperature rise without ovulating?
 
Lady, ID say you ovulated on day 16 or 17!!! You had all the symptoms. So you are about 3DPO!! How was your holiday?

Did you take 100mg this time?

Hey sma, yeah I took clomid for 3 cycles my CD21/ 7DPO blood test results showed that I didnt ovulate. The first cycle was inconclusive as the result was borderline, but my progesterone levels got worse with the more clomid that I took which confirmed that there is def something wrong in the second part of my cycle. I didnt get any ultrasounds they arent offered on the NHS where I live. With the NHS in England the only treatment I am offered now as the clomid didnt work is ovarian drilling and then more clomid which sucks!

Are you taking clomid that you have been prescribed or are you just ordering it yourself online?
 
Does anyone have any recommendations on decent pcos books? I bought the ultimate pcos handbook yesterday and have read it already, it didnt tell me anything that I ddint already know!

Also does anyone stick to a low GI diet/ found that that works in regulaign cycles?

Im currently on CD 31 of my first all natural cycle after taking clomid for 3 months and nothing is happening, no signs of ov at all :-(
 
hi ladies, im new to this site. ive been diagnosed of having pcos, and going for a scan in a few weeks to check my ovaries. ive been given metformin tabs. ive not had a proper af since june, and only had spotting in august. ive been trying for 7 months since i had a miscarriage end of march, and my pcos was diagnosed around august time. just wondering if you took metformin, how long did it take for your afs to arrive back? and were they regular after that? xx
 
hi mrsm2be

Sorry to hear about your loss:hugs: hope metformin works for you, sorry ive got no experience of it so cannot help you there!

I was just wondering whether you are in England? It seems that its only prescribed in the US/ other countries?
 
firefox- this will be the first round of it for me. ive been on metformin for awhile now and doesnt seem to be doing the job and they keep telling me give it 4 to 6 weeks more every time i mention it. so i ordered it for myself from a website called medsmex.com its all meds from mexico and they ship to the us. because my OH doesnt have insurance they want to charge us $700 for a SA or we can go somewhere else and it will cost any where from 150 to around 500 with all traveling and everything so i just spent the 55 on it and hopefully it works...... it comes with 30 pills of 50 mg each so i figure i can take th 50 mg the first time then 100 if i dont O the next time...most likly i will take it cd 2-6 ive read ppl have alot better results that way
 
firefox, im in the uk, i was surprised that i got metformin quick, but i have been told i need to lose quite a lot of weight and metformin would help with that as well. the next step for me is the scan ive got in 3 weeks to check whats happening with my ovaries, then back to the doctors to see whether im gonna be carrying on metformin and to discuss the results of the scan. i feel with having pcos, everythings a waiting game. but i have faith that all of us will get our well deserved bfp's soon :D xx
 
Good luck with it sma, I took it from cd2-6 too hope it works for you. Maybe the combo with the metformin will work!

Just noticed you take soy iso, do you reckon that helps regulate your cycle? Ive read both good and bad things about it! How long have you been taking it?
 
Thanks mrsm2be did you have to see a fertility specialist/ referral or did your GP prescribe the metformin? Wow you get scans too...thats brill!!

I would have liked to have had scans on clomid but was was only given blood tests!

thanks, well in the us they usually say take it from cd 3-7 but i have read more reviews on it and alot more people had better luck with 2-6 so i think i will try that. with the soy i think it brought me up to O this month but wasnt strong enough so it never happend. the first month i did it i think it did help as i had a period natuarlly on metformin and soy. im not sure f it was the soy or met. that did it. but yes im going to do the metformin and the clomid togather so hopefully it does the job................

i cant wait to c 2 lines lol i wont know what to do with myself then
 
Yey positive thinking!...we will see those two lines soon, somehow!!!!

Do you reckon it would be ok for me to start taking soy without having af? If i dont get anywhere with the docs testing etc think I will just start taking it!
 
i would say if anything you should get some provera or something like it to start a new cycle first. then take the soy... taking the soy is like taking clomid but in half...ex- 100 mg on soy equals 50 on clomid. you should take it just like your taking clomid so like 3-7 or whatever you choose. also i was doing the evening prim rose oil to help with cm but you only do that up untill O....
 
good luck sma- the clomid/metformin helped me ovulate finally hopefully you will have the same success! I have heard with most people they get their bfp within three months of clomid when it works so that would be awesome! im on my third right now, i just feel awesome to be having a cycle and not have to wait forever then take the provera then wait again....uhg! Anyways good luck, im sure if the 50 doesn't work then the hundred will, just beware the first time i took it with metformin i had horrible flu like symptoms! only the first time tho. I would be a little scared taking pills from mexico hopefully you get what you paid for and all is well...
Good Luck :thumbup:
 
im honestly not worried about it at all because my OHs B-I-L was living out there and we already got some stuff for my migrains from there. its all the same stuff just in mexico they dont have to have prescriptions they have open pharmacies there so they ship here too. the only difference is the directions r in spanish but i already know about it anyways....

i just hope they come in time i can take the provera and get the ball rollin.....
if it takes 3 months to work then i will be having an oct 11 baby then probly try again when lo is 3 months so i would have another oct baby lol...

i know 3 months doesnt sound like enough time but i dont have alot of time if its taking this long for no1 .
 
Sma- I dont blame you, i intend on trying again right away also, i dont want to have to go through this ever again! Its horrible and still not over! hopefully clomid is our key :happydance:
Good luck and baby dust!
 
i really hope so because this is so hard to go through. its ALL i think about, we think about cars and i think" will a car seat fit"? i go shopping for clothes and think " ok i need extra room so if i get preg i will have oom for my belly lol" i go shopping for material and buy stuff to make baby things and evn patters for sewing all ended up for baby stuff...ugggggggghhh i cant go through this longer....hopefully i get preg with it and NOT have to tell my docs lol if i dont get preg that ive already been on it
 
firefox, my docs prescribed them. im currently seeing my doctors about everything at the moment, as was only diagnosed in august. im feeling nervous about the scan coming up, i hope it goes ok, and they dont find anything bad there. have been on metformin for the last week and ive joined weight watchers too, ive lost almost 4lbs, so im on the right track to lose weight :D xx
