Late Period

[claire543]

Hi everyone. I have a question. I was placed on Metformin & Clomid 6 months ago to help try and conceive as i have PCOS. I have been on a 32 day cycle exactly with no success. I was due to come on my period 1 week ago but still nothing. I stopped taking metformin at the weekend for i had a strange experience. I got up in the night, felt dizzy, as if i was going to pass out, everything went black and i saw spots infront of my eyes. I think my blood pressure was low, and after reading the side effects of metformin i stopped taking them. I did a pregnancy test 2 days after i was due on but got a neg. I feel tired, have headaches, and still feel dizzy. Has anyone else had this? Claire

I have never taken metformin, but I was on chlomide for 4 (maybe 5) months.  It definately lengthened my cycle.  I ovulated later and my period showed up later as well.  Keep in mind that one of the things chlomide does is increase your progesterone, so it's very common to have pregnancy like symptoms.  I take prometrium which can do the same thing. Progesterone is actually what causes most pregnancy symptoms, not HCG.  On more then one occasion while on chlomide I would have sworn I was pregnant when I was not.  However, it the side effects of either are really bothering you, or you are concerned, you should always let your Dr. know.  If you believe you may be pregnant, ask for bloodwork.  Good luck to you, and I wish you well.

I am on chlomide for a second month. Last cycle I was on   50 mg  once a day  but  on 21st day when I went for my pregestrone test,  i saw that I  did not ovulate. Now I am my second  round cycle  day 18th  ,  took 50mg twice a day(morning an night-days 5-9). we have bough a easy blue ovulation monitor for $200 dollars an its supose to be better then opk to let you know when are you going to ovulate. I been doing this test everydat frst thing in the morning  for the past week. I am on day 18 and the monitor  still only shows  high(two  bars-meaninging furtile) but not the very fertile(three bars and an egg) . does that mean that I  did not ovulate ? HOw can I not ovulate for 3 months in a row? I am confused and dissapointed

Thanks
