So I went to the doctor yesterday, she wanted to check my progress on metformin and talk about the next step. I started taking 1,000mg/day in May, so i've been on it for a lil over 3 months. She said she was worried because the metformin had not given me a cycle on my own yet. (I've had to take provera to induce.) And said she had a few options.....

1. Up the metformin and wait and see if it would work (she said she didn't think it would)

2. Try clomid....but she said she'd only let me try TWO cycles

3. or move on the clomid and IUI (which is what she wanted to do)

I thought that seemed quick to move to IUI and not a least give clomid a few trys. So I said I wanted to try clomid first for a few reasons.....mainly because of the cost (our insurance won't cover IUI and she said just the meds costs $1200)

So she started me on 100mg Clomid CD3-7. I'm already really stressed that it won't work and that I only get two months on it.....and if it doesn't work we will have to put ttc on hold until we save money up for IUI...

anyone have any thoughts or ideas about all of this....why only two cycles? what are my chances that it will work? any success stories first or second try? I'm just so upset/stressed/frustrated/depressed right now...
