Evil PCOS and TTC after 35

in TTC after 35

After our first meeting with the doctors I found out that I need to get my BMI down before they will start any IUI procedures, which makes sense. I am hoping to be ready by the end of the summer (the diet is going really well). 

 In the meantime, I am off the pill and my PCOS is making my life hell.  Despite loosing weight and taking 2000mg of metformin daily, my cycle is CRAZY.  This is the second time since November that I have menstruated for 4 week straight.  It is so annoying for MANY reasons.  The doctors are going to have to put me back on the pill for a cycle so that I can finalize some tests (HSG, Menses, day 3 test). 

My gynecologist reassured me that the metformin and weight loss should eventually help me to get back into a normal cycle.  

Thanks for letting me vent.  Any one else with PCOS horror stories?

    I was diagnosed but it hasn't been a nightmare for me, probably because of all the drugs i keep taking ;) I always forget to take the metformin.

    Hope everything goes well for you good luck!
