Thank you. The metformin is helping but at a much slower rate then I had expected. I've been losing weight as well but I don't have the time or energy to be in the gym more than 4 days a week. I'll see my doctor again in a month for recheck. I just hate the waiting!

Hello,
First of all try to lose some weight as it helps to improve hormone imbalances. Then Clomiphene or Clomid can be used in the treatment of PCOS related infertility and is quite successful. Previously, the anti-diabetes medication metformin was recommended treatment for anovulation, but it appears less effective than clomiphene. One of the most effective treatments is use of contraceptive pills or progesterone pills which aids in regulating a woman’s hormones. For resistant cases, there area few options available including assisted reproductive technology procedures such as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) injections followed by in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
