Pregnancy Info HOME

hi all. i just found out that i had PCOS a month back. my period stopped in july. got it back with the help of primoloute n and again missed it in october.primolout n again and got it. my gyno wanted me to take clomid 50mg on cd 2-7. yesterday was my last pill..waiting for my v.scan on the 12th day.. :-) would love to have twins too. anyonw with pcos who conceived succesfully ???? i am kind of scared though...

Ravini - I have PCOS and dont' ovulate on my own at all. I have concieved 3 x's with clomid (first was a single pregnancy, second ended in miscarriage and third was twins delivered 9 weeks ago at 38 weeks, 1 day). I would have never concieved without the help of clomid. I was also taking metformin and also took robitussin about 4 days before I expected to ovulate. Good luck!!

I have PCOS and I am on my first round with clomid. I do have a a 2 1/2 yr old with out any help (my miracle baby) I am also on Glucaphage. I am on day 15 of my cycle, not sure when I will O though or if I have already. My husband and I have been beddin every 2-3 days. My husband wants twins really bad, I'm quite not sure. I wish all u guys good luck.

melissa- congrats! that's great news. my v.scan is scheduled 2morrow.how long did u take clomid and what strength? i hope 1 cycle will work for me coz i heard it can cause cancer.my mom passed away with blood cancer... i was wondering if it might increase my chances of geting cancer...

jacksonkate - hi, thats great u have a miracle baby :-) good luck this timefor your twins ...

hi girls.... just came back from my v.scan. doc said i have a good follicle
:-) am supposed to take pregnyl injection tomorow :-) hope this works... let me know you all are doin :-)

How long have you been taking clomid before you started the injections? I go next Tues for Sono to see if I am Oing. Am on 100mg days 3-7. Any advice as when I should start the shot if it comes to that?

Brie- i just took clomid 50mg once. Got my HCG injection today (CD-13)(which is also the first time).Got one 23.6mm follicular as per CD12 v-scan.. should be o'ing in another 33hrs. anyway the o' test is due on the 8th of dec to see if i realy o'ed or not.. i think it would be best if u can check with ur gyno about when u should be getting the shot. mine was at CD 13 at 9 AM (LOL the timing needs to be exact as well)as far as i know the shot needs to be taken close to the day of mid-cycle. let me know how u r doing...

I will be starting clomid soon,I was diagnosed with PCOS about 2 years ago. I had gone off birth control because i didn't get my prescription refilled and didn't get my period for about 6 months, so my doctor started doing tests for PCOS. Not getting my period is my only symptom of PCOS. I am just wondering if there is any one in the same position as me and that have gotten pregnant single or multiples? I really am hoping to get pregnant and I hope it doesn't take too long. I'm 23 and can't wait to be pregnant. Any advise?

Malisa - I have PCOS since july 2005. Thats the only symptom i have too.. am 28. I was never on the birth control pill though. my period just stopped coming and each time i had to take "primolute n" to get it back. I too want to become pregnant. Doc put me on 1 cycle of clomid. I had a follicle of 23mm at the end of the 1st cycle. i was given pregnyl injection on CD13 to make sure i ovaluate. i dont know if i am preganant yet. but i can tell you after the 18th :-) ... dont lose hope... cheer up and be happy coz its importatnt that your mind is free of worries :-) good luck.

Ravini- Thank you so much, it makes me feel better talking to someone in the same position as me. I went to the doctor today to get results back from a semin alalysis and x-ray of my fallopian tubes. They came back perfect, so i will be starting provera in 2 days to bring on my period, and once i get it i will start clomid. i feel very excited. my doc said it may take a few months to even start ovulating on clomid, so i'm not getting my hopes up to get preg. right away. what is the pregnyl injection, i haven't heard of it? Good luck, i wish you the best. let me know what happens.

Malisa - Dont worry, like i told you.. i had the eggs maturing on the first round of clomid. It doesnt mean that just becoz they are mature that it will be released in to the fallopian tubes (ovaluation). The pregnyl injection is given when the eggs are mature to make sure they are released within 36hrs after then injection. your firtile time would be 3 days from the 36 hrs ending.Thats when u need to try for a baby. will keep u updated.

Malisa,

Sounds like you are moving in the right direction. I am 26, and the only symptom I have with PCOS is no periods (no ovulating). I am acutally a little underweight (107). So the whole PCOS thing came as such a shock.
This was my third month on Clomid and my latest dosage was 100mg. Doc said most women will not ovulate on 50mg, but they hav to start at that dosage. He said only 7% will produce follicles on 50. So I went today for my V-scan and I have one great follicle on my left ovary. I had a bunch on my right, but they were too small. He said I should O on Thursday. I will have to go back for a progesterone test a week from Fri to make sure I did ovulate. If not, they will give me the HCG shot the next time, still on 100mg of Clomid. I am so anxious, so I know how you feel. It feel like forever. I have found that I have to celebrate my successes! So far, the only ones I have had are when I actually got my period from the prometrium. This time, I get to get celebrate a follicle.....:) Hopefully it will make it's move into the falopian tube. Things will absolutely work out for you and for me, we just have to have faith and be positive. Please keep us posted on your progress. I wish you lots of luck!

Ravini,
Did the shot hurt?

Brie- Nahhh .. go ahead and take it girl.. it just feels like another one of those normal injections :-) ... i got things a bit worsening though... got low blood pressure with a real bad neckache!! anyway hope everything turns out ok.. going in for prog D21 test tomorow... take care everyone...*****baby dust to all*********

Brie- i wish you lots of luck, it sounds like everything is going good. I am also a little underweight for my height i'm 5'4 and 109lbs. So I was surprised too. When I read about all of the symptoms i was in total shock and was hoping i would not get any of them. Do you know if you don't have any other symptoms, if you have a better chance of getting pregnant? Do you keep track of your basal temp. also? My doc didn't say anything about it, but i thought i would anyway. He said to make sure we have intercourse every second day from days 10-24 of my cycle. Do you always know when your ovulating? Good Luck!!!!
