Diagnosed with PCOS: Dec 2007
Treatment: Have just had first month of 100mg Clomid and follicle tracking from Gynae Consultant.
TTC: May 2007
The consultant has been fantastic i must admit. However i have had to have 5 internal scans cos he reckons i will have a 39ish day cycle!! Even on Clomid i still don't have normal 28 day cycle, LOL.
I should have ov on Tues, so AF due in about 10 days. I have bloods done on Wed to say for certain if i have ov'd.
Before Clomid i didn't ovulate at all, so didn't have any AF's.
It's scary to think that if this doesn't work then we have to look at IVF. Getting pregnant seems the most natural thing our body should do.
It's so frustrating having PCOS and i'm so glad that u started this group Lilac as we can share success stories hopefully!!!

PCOS diagnosed: 4 years ago
Plan so far: weight loss and bloods just taken to find out if i have a hormone based
Treatment:at the moment nothing
i am just having my 1st af in a year so i will see what the doc says she is sooooooo nice i told her about me wanting to try for baby no:3 so she asked so why have you came to me so i explained i have pcos and she ohhh i see then she gave me frolic acid and told me to have sex when i can as i dont get af's she said i could preduce an egg any time so no time like the present lol sorry rambling again
my doctor won't give me it because the hospital haven't put in there letter about a repeat prescription. luckily th hospital sent me an appt the other day so ive got an appointment with the hospital in august for a 6 month check. which i'm assuming is to see how i'm getting on with the metformin but obviously i've not been on it so i'll no doubt get another 6 month appt when i go. which is a right waste of 6 month really.
nevermind. i'm at slimming world now so hoping to lose some weight. its depressing though when you;ve been really good all week then get on the scales and have only lost half a pound. so its like whats the point.
i'm like peter kay and want to lose 14 stone in a day. lol
been trying ttc since dec 06 3mmc so far.
plan so far. im on metformin and have appointment with gyna in august to see how things are going hopefully will be put on clomid. fingers crossed to us all with ttc.

After this happens what will they do next??

I have just been diagnosed with POC's this week. I am currently having folical tracking and they will tell me excatly when to do the business. I am still using my Clear Blue monitor and will be interested to see if that tie's in with when they say I am OV'ing. Went for my scan today and my egg is 14mm so it good news for us - they hope that on Wednesday they will be able to tell me to get on with it. We have a follow up appointment on the 29th of September to discuss our next options so if we don't get PG before we will be given medication. We have been trying for 3 years, I have had a lap and dye and it all came back ok so this is it for us... next step IVF if this doesn't work!
Good luck ladies

PCOS diagnosed: November 2007
Plan so far: referred to fertility clinic, put on Metformin for 8 weeks then onto Clomid.
Treatment: Clomid 50mg and folicle tracking
Hi Girls,
Just popped over form the Due in Jan '09 forum to fill you in on my story. Was diagnosed after no AF's for well over a year and put on Metformin for 8 weeks to begin with. Still no AF's, so after OH was tested i was then given 50MG of Clomid.
I had folicle tracking 1st month, which showed mature folicle on day 18, and AF arrived day 32. Progesterone levels were 55 (anything over 30 means you ovulated). They then said as i responded 1st time, just to get on with it really. I had bloods doen again 2nd month wheich came back at 113 and i got my BFP a few days later. I am now 14 weeks tomorrow and due 28th Jan.
Clomid is a great drug and the success rate is really good, a friend of mine caught 4th month on clomid and has just 3 weeks to go.
Good luck to everyone and hope you all gte your BFP's soon.

As far as the scan goes manicmiz, the one i had was like am internal one and they stick this like 'roger rabbit'!!!! up you with a condom on and push it against the sides of you inside and see your ovaries. I'm sure that someone can give you a more technical definition but thats mine!!!!! Hope it goes well for you.
Sx
Please dont give up. There is so much they can do for anyone who has this and metoformin is one of the drugs they use and it may be worth while mentioning metoformin to the docs. Please let me know how u all get on ladies
Best of luck. Joanne
Diagonised: approx 2 & half years plus nine months (tried for two ans a half years after being diagnoised and just had my baby two weeks ago)
treatment: I was rushed into hospital and had an 8cm sq lump removed from my oviary and was diagnoised from there. was on metformin which i restarted because it made me so tired i gave up the first time around (it does get easier if you stick to it tho!!) 850mg x 3 a day. As a result of metformin started to loose a liitle weight ... had put loads on the two years prior to being diagnoised went from size 10/12 to a stable 16!
I got regular periods although not on set day of the month some times late some times early!
we had lots of nookie and tried not to stress about it and enjoy the practiced lol
took two and a half years to get pregnant but as i type i have my beautiful two week old boy in my other arm!!
it can and does happen girls.. i just wanted to share my story!
p.s once ive had my 6 week check i think i'd like to go back on to metformin.. i had to stop once i was pregnant.. but a week after birth i could fit into my pre pregnancy jeans... *big cheesy grin* think pregnancy levels out your sugar levels a bit.. xxx
i'm just about to restart metformin tomorrow after a mix up at the hospital. hopefully i'll have the same luck and will be back to encourage others who have pcos
