dr appointment

i had my follow appointment with the infertility dr... well- my labs are worse than ever before- testerone is as high as a female taking teroserone medication- and estrogen is extremly low... progesterone- too.. so he put me on metformin (PCOS- insulin resistance medication) and will be able to take progestrone then 2 pills of clomid for a week- in december.. and we will know the week before xmas if it will work to even try.... he said too- the metformin will probably kick start the losing weight again- it works with absorbtion of sugars- regulate the insulin (i'm not diabetic- surgery probably saved me from that -for now) glucose is at 89...so that's good.. i lost 2 pounds since tuesday- first real loss- since MONTH FIVE!!! and right now i'm only on ONE pill- start up slow- to 3 PILLS a day- on week three... - can't imagine how my tummy will be then... yikes.. but so far- worth it... we shall see jennifer

Hey Jennifer, sounds like the doctor has a good plan. Hope it all works out for you. And hey, the bonus of kick starting the weight loss again is wonderful. Have a great weekend.

Good luck Jennifer and keep us posted. Sounds like a lot of work, but it's worth it! I used clomid to conceive also. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya! HUGS Kimberly

Do they prescribe the metformin also for weight loss only? I hope all comes together for you.
