| dipz 11/30/2006 | . | I have PCOS and am using metforming 500 mg for the past 3 months. Iam not overweight, but have a big tummy! AFter stopping by BCP, i never had a natural af of my own. Last month I got a provera induced period and started clomid 50 mg on the third day. well an early vaginal U/S showed i didnt react to 50 mg. so no ovulation and no periods. again last week started provera round 2. today is the 9th day after taking the last pill.yesterday i had some dark brown/grey discharge. then a drop or two. but then nothing. iam getting frustated. unless periods start properly i cannot take clomid 100 mg, unless i take clomid, i wont know whether i will ovulate. did anyone have slight spotting after taking provera? and any succes stories with clomind 100 mg after failed 50 mg? |
| hanlie 11/30/2006 C1 | . | Hi, I have PCOS as well and are using the exact same medication as you (metformin and clomid). Started with 50mg Clomid - no luck and not good follicle growth and ovulation. This month I am on 100mg Clomid and I went for a scan yesterday - there were two growing follicles in my left ovary - one 12mm and the other 16mm - so there is a bit more progress and my blood tests showed that the estrogen levels are higher than the previous month on 50mg Clomid. I did use Provera before - and your AF does start a bit different than normal - being paranoid - I will still do a pregnancy test just to be sure. My ovulation date is very late - I am on day 16 today. The follicles grow average 1mm per day and are ready when they are about 20mm - so they predict that my ovulation will be in four days - will wait and see if this works!Don't know if you have a late ovulation? I am definately not on a 28 day cycle. I am a bit overweight - did not think that much - but the professor who did the scan yesterday wants me to loose a lot of weight - he says it has a huge influence on getting pregnant and using medications. Goodluck! |
| dipz 11/30/2006 C2 | . | Yes you are correct. weight does have an influence. so this cycle iam on very low glycaemic food. iam minimizing my carbohydrate intake. Thankfully after posting my query, my af has started at a normal rate. today been the first day, i will start clomid 100 mg on the third day, and then a vaginal u/s on the 10th day. Good that your follicles are growing. will pray that they reach the mark and ovulation occurs. How was your reaction on 50 mg? did the follicle grow? mine were just 1mm on the 10th day of the last cycle, then had to abandon that cycle halfway without doing any further test. keep me posted when you ovulate. |
| hanlie 11/30/2006 C3 | . | Hi - one follicle did grow on the 50mg - but very slow. They gave me extra injections to help it grow - but on my last visit before ovulation was supposed to happen - the nurse took a cm sample and said that maybe we should go on a stronger dose the next month - so she was not very positive - I am going tomorrow morning for another u/s and hope that there has been some growth these last two days. Will keep you informed - this waiting game is not for sissies!:) The dr also said that they will give me an injection that will help with the release of the egg. Will give update tomorrow morning! |

| hanlie 11/30/2006 C5 | . | sorry - posted twice :( |
| dipz 11/30/2006 C6 | . | Hi, thanks for the update. Hopefully by now your scan will be over. and i guess you have good news to share. for me the first problem will be to regularize my periods. previously they were there every month, but ofcourse never 28 day cycle. nevertheless it was there..but after using BCP for 6 months, everything has become a mess. I read a recent research work by Dr Nancy Dune, that BCP is actually found to increase the insulin amount. So contrary to the popular belief that BCP is good for PCOS women, i think its increasing the already high insulin amt that we have....dont know who is right and who is wrong... end result, a process of reproduction which we all thought was quiet simple, now is a complex phenomenon. : ) I wish you conceive successfully this month, so that me and girls like me too can pin hopes !! Another round of clomid of a higher dose, i really dont want to think of for myself!! ok then do update bye |
| hanlie 12/3/2006 C7 | . | Hi, I had the scan Friday morning - and there were one full grown follicle - 2cm and one 14mm. They gave me an injection which would give me a LH surge and ovulation - 36hours after injection. We went away this week-end and I had the injection 9h00 Friday morning - so predicted ovulation Sa evening. We did BD on Saterday evening, Sunday morning and then Monday morning must again - but I am positive - at least there were a better follicle to work with than last month! Now the waiting game starts again - ....:( |
| dipz 12/3/2006 C8 | . | Hi Thats great news! This month iam hearing a lot of positive stories.. so i hope yours will be the same too... My case, my af came and now iam on my 3rd clomid 100 mg pill, two more to go...and next sunday its scanning time.... i dont know why lately days and nights are so slow in moving.... keep me updated ur frend |
| candylove 12/6/2006 C9 | . | Well I have been considering fertility drugs. How much are all these drugs will medical insurance cover these drugs or some? How much are these drugs? After taking these drugs how long before can you have intercourse? Can you have intercourse right away? How long do you have to take these drug? Im not sure if I ovulate wil the doctor prescribe anything to me? | [Thread closed to new comments] |
