Secondary IF

Update on my appt today.

Well, she said I have one follie on my left side (which is the side I am lacking a tube, which just helps my odds, let me tell you!) that MAY make me ovulate this cycle, but, that I didn't respond as well to the 100mg of Clomid as she would have liked. She wants me to start taking a baby asprin every day, and if I don't get KU this cycle, next cycle she's going to bump me up to 150mg + put me on Metformin. She also officially diagnosed me with PCOS today, so, I guess at least now I have a reason for all our difficulties getting pg. So, I guess I'm moving in the right direction, and we're going to "try", but I really think this cycle is going to be a wash as well. I'm not really bothering getting my hopes up this month- at least that way, I don't have to be nearly as disappointed when I don't get KU.

  • Keep at it! I have PCOS, and only ever got one follicle with clomid too! Good luck to you!

  • I am sorry that this cycle might not work out. :( I do think it is great that you have a new plan for next cycle though!

  • The hardest part of PCOS is trying to figure out what works for you to get pregnant. I have PCOS and clomid didn't work for me at all until I went on Metformin and even then it took 3 months on metformin and 250mg dose of clomid. I am not telling you this to make you think you will have to wait that long, but I am letting you know in case it doesn't happen right away. It doesn't mean it won't, it just takes awhile to get to the right dose of everything. Metformin is hard when you start taking it, bad GI upset, but stick with it and it will get better. Now I rarely have any side effects unless I eat too much carbs in one day. Good luck!

    Thanks for the advice- I appreciate the reality check. It's already taken way longer than I ever expected to get pregnant again, and I think I've finally reached that point where I hardly even expect it to anymore. When I do finally get KU, it'll probably be a huge surprise to me!
