Success after IF

PCOS

anyone get pg on their own? I took clomid 4 times last year & just did 3 iuis & no luck :( we're gonna try on our own for a few months before ivf

Re: PCOS

  • I have PCOS and did the clomid route for a few cycles. One ended up a chemical pregnancy.

    But for my current beautiful daughter we had a surprise BFP.

    Not to scare you, but one of the big issues with PCOS is a high miscarriage rate. We used metformin and progesterone for the first 11 weeks of pregnancy.

    Best of luck!

  • I have pcos and insulin resistant and got pregnant form iui with stims. Clomid and metformin did nothing for my body either. My body did not change after baby number one at all. Still did not get but two periods in a year and a half and when I did I still did not ovulate. So we did another iui with stims and trigger for baby #2. I had to also do progesterone both pregnancies till I switched over to an OB aroud 10-12 weeks.

  • Before going to ivf why no do iui with stims? Clomid doesn't work for everyone. Maybe you just need the push with stims an a trigger to release and grow your follies big enough to release the eggs?

  • I echo @Robeano‌ on the metaformin. My IVF buddy IRL had two failed ivfs (after everything else failed) before they decided to put her on metaformin. Her PCOS was asymptomatic, so they didn't think to treat it. IVF 3 yielded her baby and two frosties! Good luck!

  • I get my period every month & ovulate pretty much every month, however, when I room clomid I only ovulated 2 out of the 4 months I took it. With the iui the 1st cycle I did follitism with trigger shot & I took progesterone the other 2 iuis I did gonal-f with trigger shot & progesterone. Just feeling down but reading posts gives me hope :)
