Hoping i get a BFP very soon....so try not to feel down hun, you may still be ovulating ok * may still be given clomid to help & if not ovulating then clomid should help too! ive always had regular periods that why it was a bit of a shock when i found out but have heard great things about metformin bringing ur period on so good luck hun xxx

Hi Katy, thanks for your reply. Good luck on getting your BFP!! Hopefully the clomid works for you!

My periods are very irregular, I've had 2 this year

the last one was 20 weeks ago.

Thanks for your good luck wishes xx

Hi lovemyboy, definately go and have a chat to your doctor about it.. I hope you're ok.

We've been trying since January, so 11 months now. How about you? x

Not that I am suggesting you are a dummy....

Oh I'll have to have a look for that, thanks (again) DragonMummy!

Don't worry, I've been called much worse than a dummy

Hi bird2be, sorry to hear of your diagnosis, it's horrible isn't it.

We've been trying for 11 months now with no luck and my last period was 20 weeks ago, all the way back in July

I feel like it's never going to come but I guess only time will tell..

Hopefully your appointment comes around quickly, good luck xx

hi all, yeh i hope it all comes round quickly too, its horrible, because iv done a lot of research and have a higher risk of miscarriage etc. it worries me that if and when i ever get there i will always be so worried. well a few more days knocked down until the appointment, the only thing is aswell i am getting married next september 2010 and kind of in lingo as do i keep trying or wait a few months? the state of mind im in i want to just keep trying!! arghhhhhhhh mind boggling!!!

How do you know that you´re not ovulating? Is it because you chart your body temperature, that´s why you found out?

I was diagnosed with PCOS because of the ratio of some hormones in my body. My ovaries look fine, according to my doc who saw them on the ultrasound. So I really don´t know if there are different types of PCOS.

And I heard that metformin doesn´t work for every case of PCOS. Is that true?

DragonMummy · Dec 7th, 2009, 15:01 PM

yeah that's true cheerios but I would imagine that as yours is more a chemical imbalance than a physical ovary deformity it's more likely to work than not in your case but it does take a while.

I started on Met beginning of November having not ovulated since coming off bcp in May. I am now 3dpo!

If anyone needs more info on the early diagnosis of PCOS, I have a diary in teh TTC journal section (called Increasing our Herd of Dragons) check it out, it might help. xxx

I too have PCOS and I am on metformin + clomid and i have ovulated for about 3 months straight now. I have a regular 34 day cycle. I started ovulating the very next month after starting metformin. I hate taking it but I will until I get my BFP. My AF is due next monday but I am hoping to miss it, in hopes for better news. PCOS is not the end but the beginning because now you know what to do, to make your situation better. Instead of trying and going no where! Good luck and be blessed!
