Clomid/PCOS?/Metformin/Acupunture - what next?

[Twila111]

I hope you can help.  We've been ttc for 6 months now and they've upped my dose to 200mg for 5 days.  i have signs of PCOS but my doctor is hestitant to say I have it because i'm not over weight, nor am i abnormally hairy, normal insulin level etc.  i do have multiple little follicles and my testosterone is on the high end.  but even with 200mg of clomid, they didn't get as nearly as big as they needed to use the triggershot.  they're gonna put me on Metformin now for a month to 6 weeks before we try with clomid again.  I've even been going to acupunture to help lower my testosterone, but only started that under 2months ago.  Testosterone has lowered, but is still outside the range.  Is there anything else I can try?

I have heard that the metorfim is indeed supposed to help.  In my case, I was diagnosed with PCOS and was put on metformin to help regulate the hormones.  If I remember correctly, I think it helped but I gained mega weight while on it.  Another thing I heard that helps in regulating hormones is an ingredient starting with a V that can be found in FertilAid and Fertili tea...Look them up online to find out a bit more.

Hope this helps and good luck to you and your dh.
