TTC / No O - clomid or BC?

anheyla

After having 3 week long peroids, on a 31 day mensturation cycle, my GYN tested and realized I am not ovulating. I took one round of provera-- which did not cause a bleed for 6 weeks after I stopped taking it. 

Her options to me are to be on clomid or to do a 3 month "round" of BC to see if it will regulate my peroid and cause ovulation again. Has anyone else ever heard of a GYN recommending a round of BC to help regulate your cycle and hopefully promote O? (I have been off BC for over a year with no conception, heavy peroids were first thought to be the result of hypothyroidism but that is now under control).

Anyone with experience with this issues, please comment.

I think you should see a specialist, (reproductive endocrinologist)

I agree, if you aren't seeing an RE, you should.  They are just better at dealing with this kind of stuff. 

I personally wouldn't go back to the BCP.  I'd do clomid (and have) but make sure they are monitoring your response.  Good luck!

Make an appointment with an RE if you are even considering going on clomid.  Make sure you are monitored very closely!

I would say to go see a specialist. GYN's are famous for just prescribing meds, you and DH should have things checked out before you waste your time on other things. I did 2 rounds of clomid with no O before seeing RE, I felt so much better after leaving his office with some answers and a plan.
