update: still stuck

madasm0530 · October 2012

I had my post m/c appointment today. The doctor told me (as I predicted) that she wanted me to wait one full cycle before TTC again. I told her that could be months as my last AF was 5/1/2012, aka, a long time ago!

She said I had two options: start trying now and follow up in 3-5 months if nothing or take drugs to start ovulation (clomid). I really didn't want to go down that road yet. I opted for option 1. We're increasing my Metformin dosage and going to start TTC 1/1 and see what happens.

I really am so thankful for this board becuase three months ago I would have had no idea what I was talking about or what the best option would be for DH and I.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the medication adjustment works for you! Are you insulin resistant? I'm only curious because I got my diagnosis of PCOS recently and am not evidently IR, but I'd heard of Met for non-IR PCOSers.

I am IR as well. Are you taking Met? She increased me from 500mg XR to 750mg XR.

This is the torture part. My b/w was last week and my RE doesn't have an appointment open till the middle of November! I have to wait about two more weeks to find out what my treatment will be. Bleh!

That is extremely frustrating! I was anxious waiting three weeks for an appointment for her to tell me to wait longer. I hope it goes super speedy for you!

I was put on Metformin before I was diagnosed with IR. My endo said that she wanted to treat the physiological symptoms with the Metformin (which at the time were heavy periods/no periods at all, etc.)

ETA: Good luck to you madasm! I hope the increase in the Metformin works well for you

Ive been on Met two seperate times (I quit for awhile becuase it was making me sick) but it hasn't helped with no periods.. It's strange!

CLEC, I'm sort of going through the same thing. I'm having b/w done tomorrow (fasting glucose) but my ob put me on Metformin 2 weeks ago after we discussed my (what seems to be) PCOS symptoms. She said even if I'm not IR, metformin can help induce/strengthen ovulation. I have the u/s tonight but my results appt isn't until Nov 27.
