I was 28 when diagnosed with PCOS. After the diagnosis DH and I ttc for a couple of months on metformin, then moved on to metformin and clomid. I became pregnant on the first cycle, but sadly miscarried. After waiting a month, we used metformin and clomid again and again became pregnant on the first cycle. This time bubs has stuck and I'm now 25 weeks!
One thing you should be aware of is that clomid doesn't guarantee that you'll ovulate at the 'normal' time. When I got preg this time, I didn't ovulate until about day 23. My obs said that is not unusual with clomid and there was no need to increase my dose (I spoke to him before I got my BFP).
Just wanted to see how you are traveling I read your post about PCOS and clomid.
I am in a similar boat well pretty much the same actually. I am 25 and DH 28. We have been ttc for 1 yr and have had 2 miscarriages both at 5 1/2 weeks. I had a laparoscopy which showed that I had a sub-septum in my uterus which was removed. FS thinks that was what was causing my m/c.
Anyway So I was also diagnosed with PCO FS doesn't hink it is PCOS doing another blood test to confirm it.
I am not insulin resistant and have my periods about ever 37 days they are not regular but never earlier then that. FS has also put me on 50mg of clomid. This is my first cycle I am now cycle day 5.
Just wondering what you FS is doing to monitor ovulation. Mine only has me doing a bt on the 23rd day of my cycle.
Hi Tam83,
Well I am not seeing a FS at this stage, just the gyno. He is not tracking my cycle at all, I am pretty much left on my own (it's hard enough even getting him on the phone!)....
There is mixed opinions on whether I have PCOS or just PCO as I am not insulin resistant either. I started Clomid days 2-6 last month, with no real side effects at all, or ovulation (that i know of) then at cd18 i got what appeared to be AF....bizarre, and the doc can't give me any answers as to why I would only have a 17 day cycle, when mine are usually irregular but on the long side! So I was told to give it a month before taking the next dose of clomid. I am now cd 19 on cycle two with no clomid, and I got some brown spotting yesterday...well actually only one spot to be precise. Been having dull aches in my lower abdomen yesterday and today so not sure if maybe my body is gearing up to ovulate on its own!!!! Fingers crossed
By the way, what is a sub sepulum (sorry, forgot what it was called)?
Musik Hi with your first cycle I have heard alot of success stories. I hope that we all can be so lucky I haven't had any side effects from the clomid. My dosage was 50mg. Now I'm CD 7 and that I ovulate.
Mac2 Sorry that your first round of clomid wasn't successful. Weird that you got AF on day 17. From what you have described this month sound's like you may have ovulated on your own Have you been taking your BBT did you notice any fall or rise? Or OPK? There is another lady that I have spoken to and she said that her FS isn't monitering her whislt on clomid either. I hope that this month you get some great news.
I have PCOS and have been trying to concieve for 2-3 years. I did my first round of Clomid CD5-CD9 and got my BFP first time!!! I am currently 5 weeks.
