Clomid 50mg CD3-7
Ultrasound on Day 15 - Follicles there, but not big enough, gave me new prescription for Clomid
Clomid 100mg - pretending that Day 16 was Day 3
Ultrasound on "Day 13" - HUGE follicle on right ovary (18 millimeters!!) - HCG shot!!
Me too! I had a Novasure Ablation, and it's been wonderful for me. No period whatsoever. The uncertainty of when it's going to come (never regular) and the really heavy bleeding/clotting I'd been suddenly having starting three months before is finally over. I'm done with family (one child), so for my husband and me, this was such a relief.
Apart from PCOS I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Gastritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Irritable Bladder, Endometriosis, Hypersteatic Liver, Metabolic Syndrome, Migraines, TMJD, PLM, and too many other things numerous to mention. Needless to say, Infertility is in the list but I'm working on it!!!

You asked for it lol! This is the medical history I give all my doctors (among other papers I type up) which is updated every month or so. I'm very proactive about my health and when I see a doc I want them to be informed and ready to get started ASAP! Some symptoms have been removed as they improve or go away and some symptoms are just to small to list or I forget about them.

I have PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and a prolactinoma (Pituitary tumour). All endocrine related disorders. I also suffered from Asthma but it's very controlled now. I also have allergies, and I used to suffer from teeth grinding (I don't any more but I noticed so many other do! - Mine stopped when one of my major stressors got lost, I still have stress obvoiuly but I don't grind anymore.
I believe all endocrine disorders can be linked, but I'm no doctor! lol : ) If you research your endocrine it's very interesting.
My PCOS causes weight issues, depression, hair loss, and missed periods when not on the pill. My tumour causes missed periods as well, so it was hard to see the PCOS - but when I went off the pill to try to concieve and my periods went down to months apart... then to nothing, and still no conception -- the PCOS became more obvoius.
I have been diagnosed with...
