What do you guys think i should do??

Question

TTC#1 since 5yrs with PCOS and on metformin and myo inositol for almost a year.
I have tried few cycles of clomid 100 mg and i ovulated only on 2 of them. Last cycle i didn't ovulate and had to induce my period with progesterone. I am doing unmonitored cycles and if i ovulate i know when i did due to my body changes. So now i am very stressed and depressed.
Me and my husband is shifting our apartment by the end of this month and i have lots of work to get done.
I am moving on to Letrozole this cycle but should i wait a month?? I am on CD2 today.
I just want to stop all these medications for a while but i am afraid i will loose any progress i have made🙄😔😔
Metformin gives me lots of side effects like nausea, diarrhoea , light headedness and fatigue. I have been taking it for 1 year and side effects are still there. My doctor said its normal.
Only plus point is i have lost few kgs on metformin😁, oh did i mention i am overweight(BMI 31)
So should i give myself rest from all these    
Medicines for atleast a month??
Ps. My doctor told me to do whatever i want.🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Answer

If you need a physical or mental break, take it. However, if you don’t want to take a break from TTC, it sounds like you personally need the medication to even give you a shot each month. There’s no right or wrong answer-only what you and your partner want to do.￼

Answer

Same with me but now I’m 34 weeks pregnant. My BMI was 28 and I did 2 rounds of clomid. Second round worked but I had two normal periods before my clomid. My periods are legit NEVER regular. I’d have a 27-74 day cycle usually. Me and hubs decided after 14 months of trying that we would lose weight. I lost 24 lbs and he lost 40. Just losing the 24 lbs set my periods back on track and clomid was able to do it’s job better (so my fertility doctor said) I honestly believe the weight loss and distressing was the only thing that helped. The clomid just pushed it farther

Answer

Ugh I’m sorry. I have PCOS too and it SUCKS. I hate metformin it makes me feel so terrible but it gives people lots of success so I guess it’s worth it? I personally took a break after even one unsuccessful IUI but as of now have decided if this one fails we’re just going to dive right into the next one. It’s honestly whatever makes you feel best. Do you have a gut feeling on it one way or another? Because I feel like you should trust that 😊 best wishes!

Answer

My RE advised against metformin completely. I pushed for it and he allowed me to take it, but on the cycle I ended up conceiving I was not on it. (The side effects were too much and he seriously recommended that I quit taking it). Clomid also never worked for me and it was femara that I got pregnant with. I would also take the break. Although it’s a stressful month, use it as a countdown to clear your body of the merformin and eat a strict and healthy diet (if you don’t already). I totally believe in cutting out sugar, gluten, and dairy (temporarily) while trying to get pregnant with PCOS. I also followed Kim Campbell’s support group for it on Facebook. She has a lot of great info you can read on if you’re interested! Good luck!

Answer

I would personally give them a rest but only you know what you are comfortable doing.
