Hi Schmoops,
Everyone is different, but here's my story. I never got my period w/o prometrium, have high LH:FSH ratio, mild hirsutism, and high testosterone levels. Surprisingly I never had a problem with weight or acne. My regular GYN tried me on Clomid- 50 mg-no O, 100 mg-no O, 150 mg-no O. For me, that was a total waste of time and turned me into a crazy woman :-) Finally I went to a RE & got diagnosed with PCOS last August. I was put on on 1500 mg of Met (even though I'm not IR). I was also put on 5 mg Letrozole (femara) for cd 3-7. It had no side effects and I ovulated right away. The first 2 months I had to get an HCG trigger shot. The 3rd month I picked up my own LH surge and actually got a potitive beta..but got my period shortly after. The 4th month on letrozole/Met I got my BFP and it stuck. I am currently 14 weeks. As I said different treatments work for different women. Letrozole & Met just happened to be the magic potion for me. Good luck!! |
