Hi All

I've just got my umpteenth progesterone results and am a bit low (masking a wobbly lip - am at work). Need a bit of an offload, so apologies if I seem a bit frustrated.

Brief of history...
38 next month.
PCOS.
Drs say I'm female, my ovaries evidently disagree.
Metformin 500mg x3 on top of drugs listed below:

Trying for last year or so, started clomid Oct '11; Progesterone 20 and up the stick straight away with three! Hurray! No, hang on, that's two. Nope, sorry, it's One. Ah...Zero. Merry Christmas. (Still not come to terms? A bit.)

Break till Feb then 50mg clomid. Progesterone 7
March 100mg clomid, progesterone 3
April 100mg clomid, progesterone 5
Figure out I'm (probably) on a 40-43 day cycle

This is where Metformin goes up to 850mg x3 and the after affects get really choice! lol! :-D

May 100mg clomid, progesterone 3. I'm starting to think I'm a bloke.
Another progesterone test due for day 33.

Next month Miss E (consultant) says: 150mg clomid, extra scans (private) to avoid quads/quins/sextuplets/etc. Two more cycles of clomid to go, with HSG xrays, before another drug, ovary drilling (yum!) and then IVF if my BMI hits target in approx 12 months time (it will).

Flip'n 'eck, it's not looking good, people. Yet, early days. And we're pragmatic about it. On the positive it's shag-central at home...!

Ok, that's off my chest, can get on with work now! Hope all well with you and yours.

Have you discovered the forums on the Verity site? There is a lot of support there for women with PCOS.

If the remaining Clomid doesn't do it, the drilling might. And a friend of mine has just had success with IVF after a similar story (ovulated on the first round of Clomid but not subsequent rounds). Ovulation problems are supposed to be the easiest kind of fertility problems to fix, so don't feel too despondent.
