I was placed on Provera last month to cause a period.  Well when one didn't start this month (two days ago) they place me back on Provera today.  After Provera causes my period I have to take Clomid on days 5-9 of my cycle and then go back in for another progesterone test on day 21.  I am hoping it is better this time than it was last time because my levels were .47.  Good luck to everyone!

You should not give up on Clomid I am on my 3 round not everyone is the same but you should stick it out and try another round of clomid dont give up so fast. If I had giving up in 11 years I would have not been happy with my self. You can still make this happen you should talk with your doc to see if he can put you on medformin and clomid that I hear helps many get pergo. I know how hard it is for you I been TTC for 11 years with no luck but you know what I have not giving up yet, yeah I took breaks and relax but I wanted to have a baby so bad that I said ok I wont on till I get married and now I am married and still no baby. But I keep trying you should do the same stay clam and relax it will happen to you.
I wish you all the best and hope you get your dreams... SSBD

I hope it works as well... good luck to you both.
Sorry to hear you both have to pay for infertility as well.. medicaid will pay for all these kids to come into the world in a low income life style, but when someone who works hard wants a baby and has trouble the insurance we pay for doesnt help us.. what kind of crap is that.

Sherry- The provera cant take 5-15days after you stop for AF to show her ugly face. The first time I took it, it was 5.. the second time it took 8days.. so be patient and I hope she shows and the clomid works for you.

Sobie- what test/#'s are they doing for you... I did get blood drawn, but I dont know what exactly he was testing *(unless it was in regards to my sugars vs the metformin).

LOTS OF BABY DUST!!!

Started my second cycle of clomid and hoping it works! We have been TTC for a year and found out in December I wasn't ovulating after talking to my sister who used for all three of hers I made an appointment and start it! First cycle made my MP short and light no other side effects right now.

I am happy that your doc is getting some where with you thats so great. and my insurance dont cover none of my infertility either I have to pay out and it *****, so I understand where you coming from. I hope this time it works like a charm for you... I will be praying for you and that all goes well... SSBD
I have been up on my clomid this cycle too because I did O like the doc wanted my numbers where low. so will see if the 3 time works...

my coverage doen't cover infertility either!!.  I took my last provera pill on Saturday so now i just have to wait for AF to arrive.  Im so ready to start with clomid. Not sure what to do if AF doesn't come though??  I know I have to call my ob if i don't get within 7-10 days but would i go back on Provera again?

I am now on metformin... and found out my insurance will not cover any infertility, so I am going to try like hell on this pills to get my body to ovulate so we can get'r'done! LOL
With the non-coverage from my insurance, they did give me some pricing options.. but my DR doesnt want me to go broke for a baby. I understand that- and dont want to be in a bind, though I badly want a baby.

The side effects of starting metformin, plus I started AF Saturday have been something else... nauseated feeling and just wanting to sleep. The cramps so far are horrible!

But just maybe this is all a really good sign that this will work.

I am taking 500mg of Metformin 2x daily and here in 2days I will take 2x 50mg of clomid each day for 5 days to hopefully ovulate.

Other than that we're just going to keep trying and stay relaxed.

Hey girls I been out for a while but I am back I have updates, I O this month but not what the doctor wanted to see before my numbers where .5 now this month was 1 but he say thats good but he wants it to be more then 2 so with that said I am on CD3 and I was up to 150mg 3-7 days and boy am I not looking forward to the side effects... But I am happy that we are getting some where so far. He said since I have PCOS I am not O and if this dont work this time I will have to get drill.. and that is not covered by my Insurance and I would have to pay out. So I am hoping that 150 does what it needs to. I see we have some new girls on and some old still here. Well welcome and PCOS really s**cks and I know how all you feel I have been TTC for 11 years and its hard to get BFN all the time.. I pray and hope all works out for us all.. SSBD

Caralea you should see a RE that what I am seeing and he is so much help but your right gyn only can do so much. What you should do is ask about the drilling and see if your gyn can do it for you. You can look it up it is for those who dont O and have PCOS just for us. Check it out with your doc and you can look it up on line. I should have done it with my GYN when I had the chance I would have not had to be taking all these meds and would have got a BFP a long time ago. But No I wanted to try the meds first. Now my RE is saying I would have to pay for mine if I want to.
SSBD to all wish you all the best.

any suggestions on questions?  I have PCOS 8months no ovulation and no BFPs. I dont know if my husband has low levels and that will probably be our last test, knowing I have PCOS- it is me that is broken. We both have kids so we can work.. just gotta figure out how to work one together.

I just want to know what next and if I have to go to an RE.. the office I go to can only do so much.

I will start my last cycle of Clomid tonight.  I am on 100 mg on days 3-7.  I find it better to take right before bed. I think that it helps with the side effects.  The only ones that I notice are hot flashes and mood swings. Poor DH!
I actually thought about waiting a month to take my last dose, however I did get pregnant in August (3rd month of Clomid).  It was a presumed ectopic.  Since this is my 3rd month, I will give it one last shot.

Baby dust to us all!!!!

I am at my heaviest I have ever been. 270 I HATE IT... I have never really been over 250 and this is horrifying for me.

My DR's office called me back about my concerns with not ovulating at all and still no cycle- this is so hard to have been ttc for 8months and nothing has worked. PCOS ***** and I hope they either take blood do and ultra sound or send me to an RE to figure out what I can do. They have scheduled an appointment this Friday- I am excited, yet scared. I know weight is an issue for me- but I dont have the 4-5hours to work out like I use to. Before I had no kids, no husband or step kids. Now I am the bread winner in the family and yet I cant take care of my self.

Sorry I am complaining.. the headaches and hot flashes are killing me, I think the provera and clomid is also causing me to have more CM causing me to hate the smell of my self after sex- ick sorry TMI.
