also posted on TTC-

ok so i have a VERY long history of PCOS- diagnosed about 12 years ago. anyway years of birth control masked the problems. i spent sometime on and off in between but never any changes. so finally i went off the pill in 2012 and haven't been back on it since. i have gotten my period maybe 6 times on my own in the last 2 years, the rest was with provera. Usually, after taking the provera, i would get my menses on my own for a month or 2 following then disappear. So fast forward to now, i have been TTC for about 8 months. in those 8 months i have taken provera once- january. got my menses in Feb, skipped march then got it on the exact date in april. at that point i assumed hey maybe things are normalizing. so may rolls around nothing (however i was so ridiculously stressed with work and working around 12 hours a day). so june gets here i assume it would appear, nothing, july nothing. I made a GYN apt and had my appointment yesterday. i was given provera & clomid to use clomid days 5-10. i had an ultrasound done yesterday no cysts- none i was SO SHOCKED. i have NEVER had a sonogram with no cysts...EVER. so if you were me, would you take the provera only and see what happens or would you be more aggressive and go provera/ clomid. i had blood work done yesterday and should get the results tomorrow. my doctor will be calling me friday with the results to give me the ok to start provera/ clomid. he is leaving the decision to start clomid up to me and gave me all the instructions to follow. i am just so confused. i didn't really ever want medication to get pregnant but now here i am, sad, confused, and angry and just don't know what to do. any advice would be so beneficial and appreciated.

thank you for listening :)

Honestly if i were you i wouldn't take clomid from my regular doctor. I would go to an RE and get a full work up. They will give you clomid and more closely monitor you when the exact time you should either try yourself to conceive or have an IUI. Trust me I have nothing wrong with my just unexplained infertility I never wanted to take medication to have a baby but I am at the point where I will pretty much take anything. Good luck !Chat Icon

I would see an RE. I was put on Metformin. That helped regulate my period.

Same here. I finally went to an RE and was put on Metformin. Had regular cycles after that.

My OB put me on metformin for PCOS. It didn't regulate my cycles, but has for others. After the metformin wasn't working I went to an RE, was put on clomid and monitored for ovulation.
