TTC & Taking Clomid &/0r Metformin ~ July - Oct 2007

nicole, the hormone your dr could be referring you to sounds lke LH. I had a CD21 BT and showed elevated LH, that I had not ovulated, and confirmed a diagnosis of PCOS after an internal scan in April. SO the next step for you is probably to get an scan to have a look, and *possiby* a lap to have a better look (possibly... I had one, but that may just be the way my dr works). Then they'll go from there depending on what is happening. :-)

As for me, I am on 75mg Clomid this cycle. Holy crap, it's knocking me around something shocking. We are gonig to have a 3 month TTC break after this cycle, and then get back into it, hopefully with the injectables because Clomid seems to not be working so great for me, my ovulation is still irregular and my cycles are still pretty long... I thought Clomid kind of brought that into line, which is why I am hoping for someting else, as I don't think this will work.

Clomid is still driving me insane! I'm not pmssy any more but it's day 35 and no sign of AF. I don't have PCOS (my prob is endometriosis or unexplained, depending on which FS you ask!) so I'm not used to long cycles and to all of you who have them, my sympathies because it's torture!

To make it worse, I did a Discover HPT on Saturday which showed a very faint positive. I did another this morning and it was even fainter. There is a whole thread elsewhere on bellybelly about how unreliable Discover HPTs so I don't know what to believe, is it the test being unreliable or could I have a chemical pg (which is what happened last time I did clomid, in 2005)? Can't get in to GP til Thurs to get a quant. HCG done.

Clomid is doing my head in!!!!
