I am a cyster recently diagnosed and I occasionally frequent this site. The chat room saved me when someone mentioned that I might be IR because after eating some fruits I felt a terrible, excrutiating hunger.... now I am on 1500mg met and just started clomid. I hope to see a period anyday now.

My concern is that I am thin and not trying to concieve...
My doc has not satisfied my curiosity about birth control and my love life?

How do I and where do I draw the line between getting control over unwanted hair growth, IR and an irregular cycle OR enjoying sex with my steady boyfriend? We were ttc for a while then gave up....our schedule right now has no room for children and my OB/GYN is adamant we start clomid to get my ovaries working on their own.

Any one out there with a comment?

Hi,

If you are not ttc, I see no point in taking clomid.
Clomid is typically not recommended for more than a few cycles, and it will have your ovaries work while you take it, but not afterwards as well. So I am not sure why would the doctor give it to you now, it doesn' make much sense.

I would say, take met but not clomid. This would address the insulin-resistance, and you can save the clomid for when you actually want to conceive, if still needed. Your ovulation may be restored by met alone, in a few months. And there's no rush anyway, until you are actively ttc.

Just my opinion, good luck to you,
Oana

I agree with oana, you don't need the clomid. You may find met inproves a lot of things. I've found it's improved my hair growth. As for Birth control, it depends what works best for you.

Thanks guys!

I must say that right now I feel rather down ..... If what u say about the use of clomid and met is true, then I am not really being treated.

Presently, I am off met. based on the priscription I got. I got a period and right now I am wondering where do I go from here?
I just cannot trust these docs.
I definitely do not want to go the clomid route....too much nausea.

I guess I need to go renew my prescription for more met. Will I ever stop taking these tablets?
