PCOS LADIES?!

Question

Okay so I have been trying to convieve for 10 months, I've been for ultra sounds to sed his my pcos is going and blood tests, my doctor just keeps saying "keep trying" I went for a blood test last week and it turns out all my hormone levels are excellent I'm just not ovulating .. Now this doctor prescribed me metmorfin I no this has resulted for some women there BFP. But my insulin levels are normal  so I'm confused as to why she would prescribe me this when she says my levels are excellent , I no that Metmorfin does not make u ovulate it simply assists you in keeping your insulin levels down  ( which can result in ovulation ) , I'm in a healthy weight rang for my height I'm just starting to hit a low I asked her I wanted Clomid  but she said this is not good for people with pcos :(?

Answer

Why would your doctor say Clomid is not good for women with PCOS? I have PCOS and it was the first thing my doctor put me on. Got me pregnant after 3 cycles.

Answer

I also had all my blood work come back normal and i have pcos. We r going to a RE and the first med he even put me on was clomid. So it's complete nonsense! I even did the 3hr fasting glucose test and that was normal too. Tried 100mg clomid and didn't work, also tried 150mg and still never grew a folical. We r now going to try shots. I would find a different doctor but that's my opinion. Good luck!!

Answer

I have PCOS and did 3 cycles of clomid.  None of them worked but she still tried it :)

Answer

Hi.. I have PCOS but everything is also under control just my unexplained diagnosis might be that I sometimes don't ovulate. You should  see a specialist cause tons of people I've seen on boards are on Clomid or try that first. My RE did say that we go straight to injections and FsH was the way and since he wants me to ovulate so I did the trigger shot. I'm hoping this works it's my first try.

Answer

Yes it and clomid  together helped me conceive.  My insulin levels are normal and I am a healthy weight.

Answer

I have PCOS and currently on my first clomid cycle!

Answer

Can I ask you both why your doc said clomid is not good for pcos? I just got diagnosed and that's the first drug my doc gave me. I haven't taken it yet.

Answer

Clomid works well for many many women with pcos! What nonsense!

I tried other things to combat pcos to ovulate and get pregnant but nothing worked except fertility drugs.  Metformin does work well for many women though.

Most obgyns would rather avoid fertility meds if there are other options.

I hope you have luck!

Answer

I've been on metformin for around 9 months now, no pregnancy but metformin helps regulate hormones if there is an imbalance (I had too much testosterone in my system). My dr also said that she does not recommend clomid for those with pcos, so she has put me on femera. But I have had plenty of friends who have pcos who have gotten pregnant on clomid.
