End of denial- Can I join you? Q about clomid
Hi Ladies,
I've been flitting between TTC and PCOS (but it's fairly quiet in there). After putting a couple of posts in TTC this week I've realised that I need to stop being in denial and face facts that seeing as I've been under the infertility clinic since dec I need to move house to this group haha.
I came off the pill last february (can't believe I'm approcahing the 12 month mark). I've only had one real AF in June.
I've been having bloods, a hycosy examination etc. The sonographer and Gp have said it PCOS but I haven't had an official confirmation or someone to look at the two together yet. I'm not due to go to the infertility clinic until April and feel like I'm just waiting af-less and bfp-less at the moment.
I've arranged a telephone appointment wiht my gp tomorrow so she can go over my results officially. Last time I spoke to her she said she would probably presecribe clomid after I'd been to the clinic. Has anyone else been given clomid by their gp/provera/metafornin by their gp? and if she offers me clomid should I approach it with caution- my friend did 2 rounds of it and said she wished they hadn't put her on it so quickly with you only having a limited number of attempts.
Thank you!

I've only had one AF whihc was back in June. And I had an AF 3 weeks ago after being given norisethene so I can gte some bloods done. My initial bloods with the gp showed problems between fsh and lh and then my hycosy showed cysts-I'm not ovulating or having an AF.
I'd be quite keen to start the clomid but would I need provera too? I'm a little apprehensive as I've heard some people say it's fabulous- I know someone who had all 3 kids from it and yet one of my closest friends has undiagnosed infertility and is about to approach her 3rd round of IVF. She said to make sure I'm ready and know what I'm doing with it etc otherwise it can be a bit of a wasted opportunity.
Think I'm also a little bit worried about whether my DH will get into the whole which days etc but after a long chat yesterday I think he's starting to realise how desperate I am and that it's not all just going to sort itself out- he looks on the bright side but sometimes fails to see the big fatold pc ovaries altogether haha. I don't think he realises that it's a viscous circle that te longer it's taking the more frustrated/stressed/fragile I'm getting.
Having said that because I'd had the noristhene and the hycosy I was hoping maybe it would have kicked my body into action so I did make sure we bd'd on the right days. I'm now on day 23 since the bleed for norisethene and I had convinced myself I'd ov'd and was all set for a bfp but I don't think either are gonna happen without the clomid.
Thanks for the good advice xx
I think Sanguine has answered most of your questions but I just wanted to say hi. I think I replied to one of your threads in PCOS but in a nutshell I too have been afless since mc in feb. I was diagnosed with PCOS in Oct and have just started Clomid after a round of Provera to bring on a bleed.
Let me know if you've any more questions honey - you never know it could still be your turn this month!! Good luck
