To follow up on my post from a few days ago... AF was due yesterday, never came, and negative hpt. I'm going to wait until Monday and if still nothing, I'm going to call my RE. She said that if Clomid didn't work the first round, then she would also put me on Metformin. I've heard good things about Metformin. Best wishes to everyone!

Hello I am 26 years old and I have been diagnosed with PCOS. I have been having problems with my cycle since I started it, it has never been regular thank God for my recent OBGYN doctor who was concerned enough to do further testing. I had been taking the metformin 1500mg a day and it was working for about six months, then it stopped working. My doc has put me on Provera for a whole month ( has anyone else been on that medication for that long) I am completely afraid that when I have my cycle it's going to be rough. He wants me to have a hystersolpingogram done (has anyone had one? what does it feel like?) and then he will start me on the clomid. I pray that it works my husband and I want to welcome a bundle of joy to our family.

Thanks for listening guys I didn't know there was a support group via the internet for me :)

I would call your doctor. I've read that Clomid can make your cycles longer - I was 5 days late on my 1st round. But there's always a chance you could be pregnant. It would be best to call your doctor, they will probably want you to come in for a blood test. Good luck :)

I just found out I have pcos and my doctor put me on metformin at the beginning of last month , I also took my last dose of prevera 2 days ago .,as soon as my period Comes, I start the clomid on day 5 at 150mg. if I have mature follicles then I have to give myself an injection to have my follicule be released . I just want to hear success stories about the same thing . I have been on clomid once before without metformin and of course it did not work , I am 27 years old and would be grateful for just 1 baby . I am overweight and has been trying to lose weight but it is very unsuccessful , even with metformin . I would just like to hear some success stories ..and hopefully I will think positive ..thanks

When I was first put on Clomid, my cycle was a few days late (5 days late I believe). I've read that this has happened to other people as well. I would give it another week (from when your period was due) and if still no period and negative HPT, then I would call your doctor. Good luck!

I'm glad I found people who can relate to me and what I am going thru! I am a 25 year old woman diagnosed with PCOS since I was 15 years old. At the time my doctor put me on BC pills & 2000 mcg of Glucophage. From that I lost about 60 lbs about 6 months, but as soon as i got off the medication I gained it all back! Now my fiance' and I are TTC and have had no luck in the 8 years we have been together. My OBGYN sent me to a specialist who then performed numerous test to see what the problem was. We knew of the PCOS , but he figured there was something else wrong. After a histerpinogram (which was very painful) he found that I had a numerous number of polyps growing on my uterus. I went through the procedure to have them removed. So now I'm waiting on mense to come (with the helpf provera) so I can start my 100 mg of Clomid. Then I will go thru the IUI process. I am just sitting around praying on my miracle!

hi.. just wanted all of you to know that I am in the same boat as all of you here.. I also had PCOS and ttc but no luck.. i am on 1000mg of metformin and on 150mg of clomid this cycle.. with my first round of clomid i got my af after 40 days. (no ovulation, no dominant follicle) On my second cycle (100mg) my dr decided to put me on provera on shorten my waiting time (because there were still no ovulation)..got my period after 35 days. this is my third try with dosage higher. i hope i will ovulate this month.. and hopefully got pregnant. btw, i was also on premarin for day 10-15 of my cycle to thicken my endometrium. gosh i take a lot of meds. anyone who here that is not ovulating on clomid? at how much dosage will i ovulate.. im so frustrated but im still hopeful. please pray for me as well. my prayers are with you too!

This is my first time posting on one of these websites. I try to read as many stories as possible for inspiration. I myself have PCOS. I was diagnosed last year, but I am sure I developed it in my teens. I have a family history of PCOS. I have taken one round of clomid 50 mg along with 500 mg of metformin tri-daily, and I had no ovulation. The next month I had a regular cycle, but I did not take clomid in fear of developing bigger cysts. I am supposed to start AF on the 28th which is about 3 days away. I will be taking 100 mg of clomid on days 5-9. I am praying that it works, and I acheive ovulation. I am currently working with three pregnant women, and it is hard to watch them be happy. Please pray for me and my husband!

Hey Everyone! I am also in the very same boat. I began my period when I was 11, had periods like clockwork every sinlge month until I turned 18, although the periods were painful and heavy, they came on time every month. I am now almost 25, and my husband and I have been TTC for almost 4 years. I have had laser hair removal and electolysis to rid the extra hair. I also have very painful, heavy irregular periods. I have been to the doctor to be DX with PCOS, but I had to wait for my period to come to do the blood test, after 3 months, I finally got a period. I go for my blood test and semen analyses for my husband on June 13, then I will be prescribed Metformin and Clomid from there as my OB/GYN and I discussed. I just hope it happens fast, we have been waiting for a long time. My husband and I have agreed to not tell anyone if we concieve (conceive) until after the 1st trimester, so hang tight. Good luck to all.!!!

I have been ttc for almost a year now I have been taking clomid for 6+ months. I have also started on metformin around february. Still no success. I am really depressed and have been pregnant before so I don't understand what the problem is. The next step is IUI but its very expensive and I am afraid that will fail also. Anyone have success with clomid and metformin? I am overweight so I am sure that does not help but I was around the same weight when i was pregnant before so what the heck? Can anyone cheer me up and give me hope?

hi there! we're the same. I also read a lot of forums before I post in this website.. to get more inspiration. I just want to update everyone that I ovulated this cycle! (thank God)..I just wanted to know if there are others who took the same set of meds that i took for this cycle, 2x a day of 500mg metformin (continuous), 3x a day of 50mg clomid (for 5 days), dexamethasone .625mg once a day for 7 days, premarin 50mg 2x a day for 7 days and duphaston 10mg 2x a day for 7 days and a trigger shot of hcg. Its a lot, i know, but I just think that I have no choice but to take it all to finally become pregnant.. I am happy I ovulate but at the same time, very anxious and nervous that I would found out Im not pregnant.. Im in the two week wait right now, and the waiting is killing me. Im excited, at the same time afraid! talk about mixes emotions!

Hi I'm 26 and my husband and I have been married for 5 years and have been TTC for 3 years now. We have tried a few different things, up until now, more the natural way (taking vitex) I've lost 10kg's, still need to lose probably another 30 to get to where I should be, but we just don't want to keep having to wait. I'm going to see a GP in a few hours and I'm gonna ask her to put me on Clomid and Metformin, really hoping it works!! My periods are so irregular though, so when would I know to take the Clomid? This is all just so confusing, we just want to have a baby so bad. My husband is 30 in a couple weeks and I really want him to be a Dad before he is 31. Please pray for us (Melanie and Kris) it would mean a whole lot. Wishing lots of baby dust to you all also xxoo

Hi everyone. I have been reading your stories and can't express how thankful i am for each of them. I am 23, and my husband and I have been married for almost 3 years. We started ttc about 6 months after we were married, but just as soon as we stared, my cycles became irregular and finally stopped altogether. I was heartbroken bc we want a baby so badly, and around that time 3 of my friends got pregnant within the same month. I went to my doctor and she said it was "possible" i had PCOS, but she left it at that and sent me on my way. So, after waiting another year and losing some weight, i went to a fertility specialist last monday, and sure enough got a firm diagnosis of PCOS. He started me on 500mg Metformin and 10mg Provera, and on day 6 of a 12 day cycle of Provera, i started my first cycle in almost 2 years. I am praying that this is a good sign. Have any of you had any success in getting pregnant with the Provera and Metformin alone? I have my next appointment on the 25th, and am anxious to see if he will put me on clomid to start ovulation. I am hoping something works. Ironically, the day i was diagnosed with PCOS, my younger sister called and told me she is pregnant. Excited for her, but heartbroken at the same time...
Praying for all of you, and best wishes to those TTC.

Hi Everyone. I posted my first comment here in March. Since then I've still had no luck, but am trying to still keep some hope. I've been on one round of Clomid - where I had to cancel that cycle because I developed cysts (my RE said that this is common with Clomid). The next month my RE prescribed me 7.5 mg of Letrezole (Femara). I developed 4 good-sized follicles. My doctor told me that there was a high chance for multiples if I continued that cycle (she said about 20-25% chance of twins, and my chances for triplets would be increased as well). She informed me of the health risks that arise from having multiples of 3 and higher, and because I wouldn't choose to do "selective reduction," my doctor wanted to lean towards canceling that cycle as well. So to stay on the safe side, I canceled that one as well (one of the hardest decisions I have had to make thus far - but for me, it was a logical one.) For my next cycle, she reduced my Letrozole dosage to 2.5 mg, which produced 1 good follicle, but no pregnancy. This month she upped me to 5 mg, which produced 2-3 good-sized follicles. I also took the Ovidrel trigger shot this month. I continue to pray that we'll become pregnant soon. I cannot wait to have children, but it is in God's hands and all you can do is continue to have hope and believe it will happen. Hang in there everyone. Baby dust to all!

Hi All,
My situation is a little different but i am in need of someone that has anything similar besides having PCOS... I am 25 years old my husband and I have been trying to concieve (conceive) for about 2years, I have tried clomid in the past about 3years ago had an eptopic pregnancy, and 2miscarriages... BUT besides having PCOS i had a dr who ACCIDENTLY cut one of my ovaries off... it rotted in my body for almost a year and grew attached to my pelvic bone, I had surgery again to find out what was causing all the pain and they removed the big mess.... So now i am left with one ovary with pcos. I am getting very frusterated with everything to do with trying to conceive, I go to walmart and i see all these teeny boppers with 2 or more kids that are screaming at them and i honestly feel like i am being stalked by them all! LOL i am on clomid now, day 2 of day 6 on period. The only upside is for the past 12 months i have had consecutive periods ... where as before i only had 3 periods a year.. does that mean my chances might improve? or is it to late for me?? If anyone can help PLLEEAASSE let me know...my husband is 10years older than me and feels everything is his fault... hes not understanding how difficult it is to conceive with pcos, Also has anyone had successful results with the ANSWER daily ovulation tracker?? i got them because there is 20 Lh strips rather than 7...

Hi everyone, I was diagnostic with PCOS when I was a teenage and I took both controls to regular my period. When I was 27 years old, I started to try to get pregnant and my mother told me to lose weight. I did not listen to her. After almost 2 years trying, I finally started eating healthy, drinking protein shakes, and exercise. I went from 133 to 125 pounds and 2 months. I use the book, “Eating for Life”. After I lost weight, I got pregnant and it was I healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Now, I am 32 years old and trying for the second time, but I am 20 pounds heavier than when I got pregnant with my first. I am going to start the diet again and this time I will do it with Metformin and Clomid at the same time. I hope I get pregnant again and I advice all the women with PCOS to eat healthy and exercise when trying to get pregnant.

I have PCOS and a 10 mo old. My doctor has me on avandia daily and then also has me taking letrazol starting on day 9. I was able to become pregnant this way with my first child through an IUI (2nd try) . the BBT and medication alone did not work for me. Once I was able to conceive I had no issues with my pregnancy alone. My Doc always has told me that if you have PCOS clomid will not work. Ask your Doc about doing the metformin, letrazol and avandia! good luck!

I am newly diagnosed with PCOS and scared out of my life. I got pregnant when I was 16 with my daughter and am now 21, engaged, and looking to grow my family. I am so scared that even with medicine it still will not allow me to get pregnant and I cannot afford infertility treatment. I don't want this to be the end of having a family for me.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2009. I took 2 metformin daily and the recommended clomid regiment. I am happy to say that we will be celebrating my sons first birthday this month. We will be trying for round two the end of this year, and pray that the same potion works.

I wish everyone the best of luck!

Hello
I am 26 years old married for 11 months. I am obese and have been TTC since the first night with no success. I have been diagnosed with PCOS two weeks ago and it got me frustrated and sad. My doctor told to lose weight and actually told me that i have no hope to become pregnant until i lose weight. She put me on metformin. I didnt lose any weight yet but i am missing my periods. Its been 37 and no sign. I checked pregnancy test on 30 CD and it shows not pregnant. I have never missed my periods in 11 months and my cycle has been 29 days to 31 days maximum.

6 months ago, my husband has been diagnosed with low sperm count so our urologist put him on clomid. We have to see him in 2 months with the lastest semen analysis report. So he has low sperm count and i have PCOS. I want to have children so bad.. Because of this i stay unhappy most of the time. My husband is very loving but spend more time with his family and it really bothers me. I dont say anything to him but it hurts me. I feel as not having a child is the reason why i am not that important to him. Even though i know he loves me but this infertility issue is making me depressed and make me think wierd stuffs :(

I have had PCOS for years and never knew or understood why all these seemingly un-related things were happening to me. . I have all classic symptoms including obesity and diabetes, I have not had a period in years, excessive growth of facial hair, oily scalp, waking up looking like I am 6 months pregnant due to the bloating and fluids on my ovaries the whole nine yards. I decided not to let this be an excuse for anything and to regain control of my health and body. . After two months of exercising and losing 50 lbs, and taking Metformin during that time I am now beginning to have regular periods again. On my facebook friends list I have dozens of women that have PCOS and have had beautiful children and lead very happy lives, though they were once told they could not have children. I am currently single, so I have not began Clomid. The results I have had personally on Metformin have been amazing however. Of the dozens of women I referred to on Facebook, 14 have taken Clomid and 12 got pregnant successfully with that drug. I am no expert on anything, but am just relaying my personal experience with this. My name is Miranda Spurling and if you feel as alone as I did in this you are more than welcome to become my friend on Facebook and connect with other women who are experiencing the same things we are. Just remember ladies, you are not alone. take care and best wishes to all.

I'm taking glocophage xr 1500mg/day and clomid 100 mg days 5-9. it got me ovulating and prolonged my cycle to a good duration of 31 days (15 days after ovulation). i have pcos and some issues with ovulation - nothing else seems to be the matter. i just wanted to give anyone who's reading a heads up: on clomid first cycle i had hot flashes and huge mood swings, and this cycle, which is my second, i had the worst headache of my life the first day of clomid. i am ok now (day3). i think it works though so hoping for the best.

So, this is round 3 for me. I turned 31 on Nov.29th/2011
Failed on 50mg and 100mg of Clomid. Im on day 1 of provera then ill do 150mg clomid. I also have to go in for a glucose test and the Fertility specialist that I see is talking Metformin. I put on a good 75lbs this year after my surgeries/BC pills that didnt work.
1. I have Pcos, both ovaries covered.
2. I have one tube left (right)
3. Born with a cleft uterus fixed 6mo ago.
4. Multiple surgeries/D&C/Laps ect.
5. I have one daughter (10yo) A miricle child that dr's don't know how I had her. She grew in half a uterus but beat the odds and survived!
Ive been TTC ever since, but military dr's bounced me around so im seeing a Civ dr.for the first time, who is trying me on Clomid.
Im just feeling a bit down and wanted to share with yall.

Round 3
1000 Metformin, 150 Clomid starting the 12/19/11 (and adding injectables)
No cycle this month cause I guess the last round thinned me too much so were just gonna ignore it.
Pcos was pretty bad putting me into diabetes 2, im weighing at 168 but havnt gained in over a year now.
I started the Metformin a week ago at 1500 but man it did a number on my tummy! We lowered it to 1000. I hope this is the round that works!
All right girls--Baby dust GO!!!!

My dr. put me back on the clomid with a combination of Metformin. I just found out I am pregnant again after only being on the Metformin 1 month!! I am so excited and highly recommend you talk to your dr. about the Metformin, especially if you've tried Clomid for several months with little success! Good luck and baby dust to you all!

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 7 years ago. I'm 27, small/medium build and trying for #2 (I was lucky enough to be able to get pregnant with my son naturally in 2009, although I did end up with Gestational Diabetes). I was extremely lucky to get pregnant with him naturally being I was only having 4-7 periods a year, but for those of you out there wondering...it can happen! I now have a healthy, happy 2 year old! ;) Now that we are trying for #2 I'm not having as much luck but we are still hopeful. I just started seeing a fertility specialist after trying for about a year and not having a period for over 5 months. She put me on birth control to get my period back and then I'll start Metformin and probably Clomid to hopefully ovulate. This is all a little bit of a roller coaster ride but I plan to buckle myself in for the long haul. Hopefully it will be a fun short ride with news of a pregnancy, but as many of you know, it can be a slow process. Hang in there everyone...the ups and downs of our journey are just part of the path to our destination. Good luck to all and stay positive! :)

I'm 24. I was told last year that I had PCOS. I have had it for longer than that, but I finally went to a OB/GYN and she told me I had it. My husband and I got married last Oct., but had been TTC for many years before. Right now I am taking prometrium to start my cycle. I never have one on my own. As soon as I start I will be taking Clomid on CD 5-9. I already take metformin, pre-natal vitamins, and fish oil pills. I am obess for my hieght, but have lost 50 pounds since finding out. I still need to lose 50 more. I have been eating better and exercising. I work 2 jobs. Neither one is stressful enough to cause problems though. I would just like to hear suppot stories. I never thought it would be this difficult to have a child. All my sister's, I have 4, pop kids out like crazy but it has been very difficult for me. I have been through all the test that I needed to do. I do have a tipped uterus, but so do all the other females in my family and they all have kids. Thanks for any info you can give me. Baby Dust!!

Hi there
. Im new to this so i thank you first for sharing your stories. I was diagnosed with pcos 7 years ago, and never thought anything more of it other than my irregualarities until i got married a few years back and went off my bc and never got pergnant. Long story short i am on metformin 1000mg2xs a day and starting clomid on cd5. We are hopeful this will work but it is so wonderful to see that there are others going through the same kind of issues. Best of luck to all
