ok, so me and my husband are trying to have a baby and I will be starting the clomid, i also have PCOS.  I guess I am just scared.  I  have always wanted kids, i guess what i want to know are there any women out there that have PCOS who have done the clomid and gotten prego?  And if you did how long were you on the clomid before it took?
Thanks

Please don't be scared about taking clomid.  It's a safe and effective medicine.  It gave me no side effects although some ladies on this forum had hot flashes and moodiness.  I did not get success with clomid but it wasn't the fault of the medicine, I had other problem that was recently diagnosed.  Good luck to you this cycle!!!!

i am also just getting started. I started with an Re in October, but she is moving away. Now we have a delay, because I have to start with a new RE. I am supposed to see him december 3rd. I will keep an eye out for you on here. Maybe we can compare notes on our progress. Hopefully, I will also be starting the clomid soon. That was the plan after my first RE visit, but like I said now we have to start with a new doc. I also have PCOS and hypothyroid.

Best of luck and SSBD to you!!

hey hun..welcome to the forum!! i like you have PCOS too and i dont want to discourage you but i also tried clomid for 4 months and one failed IUI before i moved into injections, clomid was just not working for me, but i do hear it all the time that some PCOS victms due use clomid and it works like a charm, im not sure how long you and your husband have been ttc and how determine you are to get preg. but they say you can use clomid for 6 months tops, but when i used it for 4 months and nothing was happening i moved on into the next step, so give it a try maybe with trigger shot and old fashioned baby dancing it might just work!!  also are you taking metformin? i wish you the best of luck!!
