The Clomid Thread - 6 BFP's!

[PinkDiamond]

Metformin isn't a fertility drug as such, it is used to treat people with insulin resistance and it helps sort out blood sugar levels and insulin. As your doctor said your pcos is more the hormonal pcos rather than cysts on ovaries etc of pcos, the metformin is the drug used (so I've read) that treats the hormonal side. Clomid works in that it tricks your body into thinking it hasn't produced enough LH hormone so your body produces more of it than normal, therefore helping ovulation as this is an issue with women who have cysts on their ovaries, they need more LH to ovulate so the eggs can pop past the cysts. I think. Metformin lowers blood sugar levels and helps insulin resistance which helps ovulation (not sure of the exact link). The best thing to do is to try a low carb diet alongside the metformin as I've also read that it can help aid weight loss which reduces pcos symptoms and helps kickstart ov - a friend of mine cut out bread and potatoes etc and lost over a stone in a month and fell pregnant after 3 years ntnp.

Hope that helps in some way. X

I dont know I have read online it helps balance hormones aswell. And that's correct my LH is too high, if I can get it down maybe I will ovulate on my own?

Going to pick it up at 5pm And hopefully start them? Do you know if they regulate periods?

And big Congrats Drummers_wife on your BFP!!

Does not everyone on clomid have PCOS Seems like the same difference to me, but I stand corrected. Well done on the BFP anyway, I have no idea who some of the ladies were because I don't often check in here and would have completely missed yours too which I thought would have been a shame was my point xx

I don't have pcos low progesterone for me so unsure I Ov but no cysts and regular cycles x

 

[LD1978]

Cd16 for me, no positive opk but temp up today, had twinges yesterday so pretty sure 1dpo. The no positive opk concerns me but last months bloods progesterone was 70. Is this weird?

It's baby time - we continue to be cycle buddies x
