Okay first of all my name is Jessica. I have been trying to conceive for a while now. after my first mc which was in 10/03 I thought that it just wasnt my time. since then I got married. and we have been trying for a year I finally decided to go to the doc and tell him I thought There was something wrong. he ran a bunch of tests and we founf out that I have hormonal imbalances. and he put me on metformin and Dexamethason, and told me whan AF came around to come get a prescription for clomid. Which I am happy that we figured out what was wrong I just hope it works. We have been trying and nothing has worked. so if anyone knows anything about PCOS and the meds he prescribed to me please let me know.... I am so confused about all of this stuff.

Hi Jess, I am new to this board too. Sorry I cannot help you with PCOS as I don't have that so don't know much about it but it appears to be a common thing so I am sure the others can help you.

How long have you been ttc now? I'm so sorry to hear about your m/c!

I hope that I can be there for you if you need me though.

Me and my husband have been ttc since 2004. And It has been hard. I thought I was just in a rough spot. then I started thinking this isnt normal! we sat down an realized that I needed to go get checked out. And we found out last month that I have PCOS. They put me on met. and dexamethason. And I started Clomid today. So hopefully I get a BFP pretty soon!

Hi,

Sorry to hear that you have PCOS - it seems quite common for some reason.

Who put you on Clomid? I know this is my first step to assisted conception and I have booked an appointment with my GP and my gynecologist as I was unsure who prescribes it or if I needed a referral to a fertility and, if so, who refers me?

Any help would be much appreciated.

(((SHANNA)))

I went to my OB/GYN And he ran tests and Because of the Pcos I Wasnt ovulating right. So he just put me on it.... He said it would speed up the process or something of that nature. This is my first cycle on it. So I dont know if it will work. I have heard alot about it on these mbs and alot of ppl have had good outcome with it. So hopefully it works for me also. I guess I would just ask my dr if it would work for whatever problems you are having... It cant hurt to ask!!!! (((GL)))

Thanks, I'm seeing my doctor about it this afternoon and have an appointment to see my gynecologist on 17 Sep as I was unsure as to who I was suppose to see lol. I'm sure the doctor will tell me to see my gynecologist if needs be.

Good luck with your first clomid cycle!!
