The "best" part about it all is I found out that my doc had many other options he could have tried on me. The doc that sent me to him has taken me back. He can keep me on the met and do clomid, but that is it. He told me he sent me to this other doc expecting that he would try other options. Guess I will never know now. I just had to get this all out to people that might understand. My husband keeps saying we will figure it out, but there is nothing to figure out. We can't afford to pay out of pocket and the insurance doesn't cover anything. None of the meds work at all. My doc I went back to is doing another round of clomid but he also told me he wasn;t going to waste my time and money. He said I need to try ivf. So I guess that is it for me. I don't even know why I am doing this round of clomid. I have lurked here even though I haven't posted. I have been cheering you all on and I wish you all the best.View Thread


I am stopping my 1500mg og Metformin today. I was on 1000mg for a few months and that did nothing. Then my doc jumped me to 2000mg and I was sick as a dog. So he dropped me to 1500mg. I am still sick...not as sick, but sick enough. So he is taking me off of it.
My problem here is that I can't get an answer out of him to save my life. I just want to know what the plan is. He said wait for the Met to get out of my system and call his nurse. Ok. So, then what? He said we might try more medication or ovarian drilling. He didn't tell me what kind of meds or what he thinks is best or anything. I just need to know something! What other meds are there at this stage? I am Clomid resistant and the Met didn't work. I have pcos, my tubes aren't blocked. I have recently lost 15lbs. I jsut need to know something. Anything! What other meds are there? What are the pros and cons about ovarian drilling? What are all of my options? He won't give me any answers!View Thread

So, he said he wants to wait another couple months (aaaaahhhhh!!!) and then we would try the drilling. He wants the Metformin out of my system and to start with a clean slate. I hate waiting so much. I mean, I have been with him for 2 years and trying for 7. I'm done waiting. But I will. And she said she would try to have some sort of info for me instead of just wait a few months and call. So we will see. Thanks so much for all the info!View Thread

One of my problems is that I am not seeing an RE. My doc is an obgyn with a special interest in infertility. The reason I am not seeing an RE is because despite our large medical community here, there are none in the area. The closest one is at least 100 miles from me.
I called his nurse and had a bit of a meltdown. She said he doesn't really give her details about the infertility patients. She also said that it is basically a guessing game and there is no way to know what comes next until he knows if the current treatment is working. My mind says you can draw up plans for different scenarios so that at least there is something to look at.View Thread

However, is it just me or does this seem like the "Year of the Baby"? All these celebs announcing they are pg....an old friend just posted she is pg. Maybe that is a good sign? Ugh...I sure hope so.View Thread

Please, don't do me any favors.View Thread

For about the last 2 weeks I have been super tired though. Has anyone else experienced this while taking this medication?View Thread

I am thinking maybe I have low iron right now. I haven't had a problem with my iron for years, but that is what I am thinking.View Thread
