Hi ladies well I went to see my doctor and asked more questions about trying to get pregnant and have pos. And yeah he really didnt tell me much just to continue taking my metformin and at my next cycle then to start clomid. Which sounds fine but I dont really understand when to take the clomid and when to do the deed . And do you ladies have any ideas on other things I can try. I also checked to see what my BMI I think thats what it is called and mine is 29 I think thats good. but Im trying to get pregant and kinda need some other options I dont wanna take a bunch of pills if i can try not too. SO my question is has anyone done anything eles and gotten a good result?? Thank you every one

hi there, i have pcos.i am on metformin too. 500mg at supper time.  i just fisnished my dose of clomid. my obgyn gave me 50 mg for 5 days. i had to take it on the 3rd day of my period. i dont think it worked. too low of a dose but i do my chart everyday. you can go to fertilityfriend.com and it shows you when you ovulate. i do go to the pregency board her eon oh. they have helped me alot they can anwer your questions too. hope this helps. anita

low carbing helps. i was doing atkins when i got pregnant. i was told it would be highly unlikely for me to ever have children on my own. i was also taking topamax. it's used for migraines and a mood stabilizer. my best friend got pregnant while taking it too and as i was looking up stuff about it i found about a hundred other women who had surprise pregnancies while taking topamax. i know you said u dont wanna take a bunch of medicines. just thought i'd offer my experience. you know, as soon as you plan a vacation, plan to remodel the house, someone loses a job, you'll get pregnant! life is what happens when you're making other plans.. focus completely and throw your heart into something else, painting, writing, working out.  i think that's why families who adopt often get pregnant right after their adoption is finalized, they're no longer obsessing about getting pregnant! hope i didnt upset you. best wishes on that little baby you'll have.  -Sarah oh, i have pcos too, i didnt mention that.

well right now I am take metformin 500 mg 3 times a day which I have been for almost a year now. and thank you for your advise but I would like to know more about this topamax where can I get it and what does it do ?? and is there any side affects?? and if you wouldnt mind emailing me back on my personal email as I have two jobs and dont get a chance to check the message boards my personal email is [email protected] And thank you ladies for takeing the time to email me

Hi Cassandra!  Good luck with your Clomid!  What dosage is your doc starting you on?  Typically you'll start out at 50mg on CD 3-7, it helps to also take your bbt (basal body temp) using a basal body thermometer to track your temps so that you know if/when you're ovulating.  If you have normal 28ish day cycles you can expect to ovulate at around CD (cycle day) 14.  When I got pregnant (and I have PCOS too) I got pregnant around CD21 as I had a longer cycle (averaging 36 days).  If you have questions about tracking your temps let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.  Also a great bbt tracking website is www.fertilityfriend.com .  Good luck!
