TTC advice please ladies with pcos

ladyava · September 2017

Hi ladies,
Very quick background on me.
I've been having irregular cycles my whole life. Found out I have pcos about a year ago. I finally got on metformin 3 weeks ago.(Found out the culprit was high testosterone) Won't get into the side effects but let's say I had to go back down to 500mg after 3 days of upping the dose.
Ok so I've been having bubbling feeling in both my ovaries. Normally just pain in my left one. I've been temping. I had a dip and a spike a couple days ago. So me and the husband did the BD . 3 days later I started spotting. I thought it was my period coming on. Which I wasn't upset because I was thinking metformin was regulating me. Nope 2 days spotting and now just ewcm. What is going on with my body?
Has anyone gone through this?

Hi

I have PCOS too but unfortunately I don't really have any experience with the symptoms you're having. I started on Metformin 500mg, but now I'm on 1000mg twice a day. I had terrible side effects every time I upped the dose (severe migraines, blurred vision, vomiting) but they subsided after a couple of days.
With PCOS - the spotting could honestly be nothing. Unfortunately PCOS is a fickle beast and does whatever the hell it wants at times. In saying that, if you're super lucky it could be implantation bleeding. Maybe in 10 days or so take a home preg test and see what's going on.

Are you seeing an RE/specialist yet? Or just the Metformin so far?

I never found that metformin regulated my periods much, but I also only take 500mg, I feel like if I had been able to take more I might have different results. I tried temping, bit I sleep like crap so I never knew when to take it, I do go by looking for the egg whites... but also I basically make my husband do the deed every other day a week past my period in hopes that we catch and egg.

Good luck hope you get the BFP soon.
