Ugh. Ladies so confused

[hope2bemom75]

I started my period on Feb. 13 and it lasted until Feb. 24th. I took clomid on days 5,6,7,8,forgot 9, 10. I have also been doing metformin but I have been bad about remembering to take it. I tool ovulation test this month and they started to get darker on friday and saturday but I dont believe I had a positive unless I missed it. Well Saturday I started spotting a little. Nothing sunday and now today it seems like af is on her way. It has only been 15 days since my period ended so I am not sure if that is normal. Any advice? Could it be because I forgot the day of clomid or because I am not consistent with the metformin? Maybe my body is trying to straighten itself out since it was so messed up. I feel like the clomid is never going to make me ovulate.

Hi, how are you? Do you have PCOS? I know you are frustrated right now. I ask if you have PCOS because I do and your plight sounds familiar.


Your period should never last that long under any circumstances. It should have ended no later than the 7th day. Women with PCOS have longer periods and that is irregular.

I am not on Metformin or Clomid and I ovulate every single month naturally by taking natural herbs and vitamins. I also receive acupuncture. Keep in mind I never ever ovulate on my own nor do I get a period every month. However, I do not take any drugs, just natural things.


I can't answer your question unfortunately, but I suppose it could be a mixture of everything. If you want to go a natural route let me know and I can share what I do with you. My period is now down to 5 days yaaaay! I use to have 8 day periods even while on BC. Off birth control my "period" would be 10 or more days. Doctors do not know much about this disorder, and I have been done with them for a while. All they know is metformin and clomid.

If I were you, I would really find a fertility acupuncturist that is also able to guide you in the right direction for herbs to take. And if you have PCOS, I am assuming you do because you are on metformin and are irregular, I would make sure the acupuncturist does electroacupuncture. Extremely vital for PCOS.

The best part is no side effects and it works!! Good luck!

I do have pcos.. have you been able to conceive?

Yes, once I began my herbs I conceived right away. I had a chemical. I didn't think much about it.

I stopped my herbs and cycles went out of wack again. I didn't have a period for a couple months. So I got back on my herbs and began electroacupuncture. When my period came back which took about 3 weeks this time but that is because I am pretty sure I ovulated and had to go through my luteal phase..anyway...my 1st period on my herbs and the acupuncture was beautiful! It was the most normal period I ever had in my life. I then ovulated on CD 14 and I conceived last month as well. It was another chemical so now we are working on my progesterone. I added a new herb today for my low progesterone and I will visit a doctor on CD 21 to have progesterone tested. If it is low then I will take prescribed pills because they are the strongest. I am now on CD 11 and had wonderful EWCM for the first time!

Last month I didn't notice any EWCM, this month my CM went through all of the changes! It was watery yesterday and EWCM today.

My cycle is 28 days with a 14 day luteal phase but unfortunately still low progesterone. But I am getting there!!! So happy about it.

Have you had an ultrasound and did they find any polyps? I had 3 polyps in my uterus and they were incredibly small but stopped me from conceiving so I had them removed.

And I don't think I made it clear in my last post that without my herbs my period can go missing for months. And when it finally would come 9 times out of 10 it was thick and brown. Before my herbs I never got pregnant, ever. I thought I was plenty of times because of lack of a period. I also never ever ovulate. Now I feel myself ovulate

I take cinnamon bark instead of metformin. It seems like a lot but 5 of those out of my staple I only take once a day. 2 are chewables, and two are tinctures. lol All out of my staple list.

I can't speak on what I have just added only been taking them a few days
