So, this year after long consideration we decided to artificially inseminate. I went to my OB/GYN last year and was put on various different hormones, etc. to help with my cycle irregularities, none of which worked.
Last June, I decided to try an all natural alternative (Chasteberry/Vitex), which needless to say I was skeptical of. Well, I actually had 11 months of regularity which was amazing (considering I've never had a regular cycle my whole life).
This February, we bit the bullet and started inseminating. Of course, I didn't fall pregnant and we tried again in March. Again, no luck. We finally worked out our timing was off.
We went to try again in April, however, I had my LH surge a week earlier than we expected and had to cancel the insemination. After being 2 weeks late for my period, I decided to take a pregnancy test. I tested negative.
I am having some light spotting that started yesterday, but no cramps or any normal signs of a period.
I have a dr's appointment next week but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this too. Is this normal with PCOS? Can you surge without ovulating? Can you have a period without ovulating?
Also, has anyone tried Metformin? What were the results, if so?
Thanks for reading!View Thread

I was diagnosed with pcos about a month ago and the doctor did a uterine cleaning hoping that it will help with the absence of a my period for 6 months. After the surgery the doctor informed me that they found abnormal cells which can lead to cancer... I am completely terrified and dont really have anyone to talk to... I am 21 years old and have been having random or prolonged symptoms that just were not getting diagnosed. I have gone through prolonged periods that last for 6 months straight to now not having one. I have even been in the hospital for a blood transfusion... i am relieved that my current gyn diagnosed me but i would rather be healthy.... i want to have kids some day soon... anyone else going through this?View Thread

1.) why metphormine if I have no prediabetes or high blood pressure? My insulin level is only 0 .1 over the normal range. So apperently that makes me pre insulin resistant?
2.) methphormin is killing my stomach! I started at 500mg and was sick very sick but a month later it got better. I just started twice a day or 1000mg and its sick again!! nausea stomach pain and diarrhea
will it ever get better? I do take it with a full meal and lactose free milk. 3.) I am taking a multi vitamin...b-complex and, hair skin and nails vitamins. I don't believe anything is effecting the meds and I make sure to take my vitamins two or more hours after my met.
4.) I'm on my third month of met and no weight loss...not a lb and before it I was losing some.I eat healthy quite healthy so I'm confused? any one else lose no weight on it?
Ik this is a lot of stuff but I'm just worried and very alone with this new problem. I am usually a very confident and positive girl but all this stuff is worring me.....any help would be great!View Thread

Anyone face the same situation?View Thread
For some of you women that want to try to conceive you can also try chasteberry or vitex. There are a lot of herbs that help. Maybe go to a Chinese store and ask them what they recommend. Good luck to all n know that you are NOT alone. There are many of us out there. Make sure you do your research and I pray the best for you all.View Thread

Have any of you done injectables with timed intercourse or IUI and what did your cycle consist of? What were the side affects of the injetables (compared to clomid or femera if you did them)? Are there any questions I should be asking or concerns I should have at this point?
Here is my history and background up through my appt with my RE today.
Current History:
DH and I have been TTC#3 for 17 months. We did 5 rounds of clomid (50, 100, 150, 150 and 200mg), took 2 months off while switching to an RE. She said I have PCOS and started me on metformin (1500mg) for the first month off and then did BCP for the second since I had a cyst. We did 5mg Femera with a trigger shot and progesterone. I ended up with low beta's and a chemical pregnancy. We went right into another cycle at 5mg Femera. Due to Christmas we couldn't do the trigger shot but I had a pos. OPK on CD20. We still did the progesterone. Again low beta's and another chemical preg.
I just had a consult with my RE and she is a little concerned. In all, I am 1 for 5 with keeping a pregnancy when using fertility meds (either clomid or femera) (I had 2 m/c on clomid before conceiving our first child). She has me taking the month off (on BCP so we don't have to wait for AF to show and then take provera to get her). She is doing a chromosonal test on my and my DH just to make sure it isn't one of us carrying bad DNA and I am doing a dye/x-ray test to see if there is scaring due to 2 c-sections that may be keeping the embryo from implanting and staying. As long as all comes back good there, she wants me to start baby asprin for the medicated cycle and is looking to do injectables. She thinks injectables will give us better eggs and more control during the cycle in hopes of it sticking.View Thread
