Hello all!

I am 23 ttc for 2 years! I was shocked that I ended having problems TTC (aren't we all)! Through the process I learned that I had PCOS (ultrasound showed no cysts) I found out through blood work. I have now been on metformin for almost a year. I started getting regular periods about 5 months ago. FINALLY. They were few and far between when I first started metformin, but the symptoms (stomach) were so bad I took 3 pills a day instead of 4 and all of a sudden I had a period!! We tried tried and failed to get pregnant. At first I was doing opk but my Obgyn informed me they were pointless for PCOS patients and not to waist my time (I had a positive for a week and a half!), so finally after meeting with Obgyn a million times he suggest HSG test. I passed! No blockage! So here I am 2nd day of taking clomid 50 mg round #1 and I'm up at 4 am with hot flashes and insomnia! I pray this works. I've always and forever wanted to be a mom!! I have some slight cramping. Hopefully that means it's working! Anyone have success with similar situations? First time ever posting!! How did I do!
 
Hi. I, too have PCOS and have been on Metformin since August 2010. Just took my 1st round of Clomid and am currently on CD13. Still no ovulation yet! Also am having acupuncture sessions + chinese herbs.

I only had dizziness and maybe hot flushes on Clomid. I said Maybe because the weather was hot anyways at that time so I wasn't sure...

Best of luck!!!
 
Thank you everyone! This morning I woke up and my legs felt kind of numb! Freaked me out a little! Anyone deal with that? I'm taking clomid 5-9
 
I tried Metformin but no luck cycling with it. Are you ovulating on it or just with the Clomid?? I am Clomid-resistant with my PCOS.

They do not know if I ovulate because when they take blood work during my cycle everything is fine... But when I take OPKS Im either neg for a week or positive for over a week. My OBGYN said they do not work well in people with PCOS.
