I think this is a nice idea.
I cannot say cycles because I don’t really get cycles because of PCOS. I am on month 42. We started trying in [name_f]September[/name_f] of 2010. I have suspected PCOS since 2011 and recently had it confirmed. Due to the PCOS, I have very irregular cycles and don’t ovulate on my own. I just started 1000mg of Metformin on [name_u]January[/name_u] 30th for my PCOS and it will hopefully make me ovulate and regulate my cycles. I am hoping to go up to 1500mg when I go to my next appointment on the 27th. I will be having an ovarian ultrasound that day too to check on ovarian cysts and whether or not I will need surgery. If the Metformin does not make me ovulate and I am not pregnant by [name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_f]July[/name_f] then we will try Clomid. For now I am just using a ton of OPKs waiting to see if the Metformin is going to make me ovulate or not. Until ovulation starts happening, I’m still pretty much at a stand still but atleast we’re heading in the right direction. It’s very tempting to try Clomid now but you can only do it so many times and your chances are better in combination with Metformin. Because of that, I am trying to be patient and hold off for 5 months to let the Metformin start working before I throw Clomid into the mix.
It’s been really hard. I have breakdowns about it alot and I can’t lie and say I’m not pretty depressed alot of the time. It’ll happen one day though.
That’s the gist of my story.
