I've been a dirty lurker for months so I thought I would say hi.
I'm 35 and my husband is 32. (I'm a cradle robber)
We have a little dog and just bought a new house.
I was diagnosed with PCOS (I knew I had it because of irregular cycles but nobody takes notice until TTC)
I started metformin last month and, as annoying as it is, it lowered my testosterone from 90 to 68 in a week. I just got it retested on Friday so I don't know the levels yet. I'm thin and non insulin resistant so I don't understand why it's working but it is. My AMH level was 32. You read that right. The highest the RE had ever seen.
I started famera and had a day 13 ultrasound. There was one dominant follicle (17.3mm) on the left side. I hadn't ovulated by cycle day 15 so I took an Ovidrel injection. I was pretty regular and having my own LH surge for like 6 months so it was weird that I didn't ovulate. The 7 days past ovulation blood work came back with progesterone at 12.1. They wanted it at 15 at least so I had to take another ovidrel injection (just half of it). Weird considering there are about a million ways to get a progesterone boost that isn't a $150 shot but hey, gotta do it
I get hot flashes from famera, really bad stomach aches and lack of appetite on metformin and really no issues with Ovidrel. Does anyone else use these meds together?? It's always amazing reading your stories. The thread about the worst things people say got me through Christmas at the in laws. Happy Tuesday!
