I posted a thread about a month ago re: my new diagnosis and how TTC is made even more stressful by this condition. My doc is recommending Clomid + IUI (insemination) and I'm going to go for it because we are tired of trying, waiting, crying, then starting all over again... So if anyone out there has experience or success stories with IUI, please let me hear it! Naturally, all of my friends are on their second kid with no problems whatsoever, so this forum is really my only way of getting in touch with people who speak this language

Thanks for the support in advance.

angie,
I would bet just about everyone on this site understands your frustration. My RE also prescribed Clomid (along with Metformin and acupuncture). Many of his patients (if not all) also do IUI and he says he has an overall 80% success rate with Clomid. I just finished my first round and am going in for my u/s on Monday. Hoping for the best.

There are tons of women on this site who have gotten pregnant with PCOS, don't despair.. it will happen for you, too. Read the success story threads for inspiration.
Best of Luck.

I know how you feel all too well about TTC, waiting, getting upset and starting all over Been doing that for awhile now... seems like every month it is just the same thing.

Unfortunately I cannot swallow pills. This is a huge issue for me. I was recently very sick (unrelated to PCOS) and it came down to me taking pills or goign to the hospital I still couldnt take the pills. Luckily they were able to give me liquid pediatric meds at a high enough dose that it worked. I have this major mental block and just cannot swallow the pills. Urgh. I know it sounds so silly, and to think that a pill may help me conceive, well it makes me sick that I cannot do something that seems so simple... I have tried and tried.

As a side note, I just found the other day that they now have a form of Met in liquid meds! So that may be an option for me. Unfortunatly clomid is out, as my doc even said I could not crush clomid up (which is something I thought might be an option).

My doc also suggested clomid and insemination if we didnt get pregnant in a couple more months. I look forward to hearing how it goes for you guys! GOOD LUCK!
