Hello Melissa, I am 33 and I have PCOS too. We tried clomid with no success for years. I switched my RE and my new doctor had me take metformin for a month and bcp's for a month. The doctor put me on femara instead of clomid. He monitored me closely until the lead follicle was more than 17 mm. Then, he gave me hcg to make the egg release from the follicle. hubby and I did the baby dance (alot) after the trigger. We were pregnant the first cycle. Our RE told us that women with PCOS don't ovulate well and that sometimes we need a little help. He also stated that femara was more PCOS friendly. I hope this helps.

Hi Melissa,
Sorry things have not been working out for you. A year of clomid is certainly reason enough to go see a fertility specialist. In general, if IUIs are going to work then success will come within the first 3 cycles. Given the duration of your infertility and the failure to conceive with clomid and 2 IUIs, I think that IVF may be the treatment to consider. Right now we have no idea if an egg and sperm are ever getting together...At least IVF would help answer that question...Good luck

Thank you for ur input dr gordon. It really means a lot 2 me 2 get advise from other doctors such as yourself. I have however had what I was told a chemical pregnacy. And I am pretty sure I had another 1 this mth. I had a x-ray done with the dye injection recently with showed no blockages. But the past couple wks I have had several symtoms of being pregnant. But unfortunately today I started bleeding heavily,and my cycle is not due for 2 more wks. In ur opinon do u think I should see my obgyn asap? And could u tell me what cause most chemical pregnacys?

Hi Melissa
Most commonly biochemical pregnancies are genetic in origin as the embryo was normal enough to implant but not normal enough to keep growing. Any heavy bleeding that is unusual is a reason to at least check in with your doctor...
Good luck

Last week we had a SART/CDC site inspection. All IVF clinics in the country report to the CDC as part of the Wyden Law passed back in the 1990s. Although a few clinics choose not to report we have always been members of SART and reported to the CDC. During the inspection over 50 charts are chosen at random and carefully inspected to make sure that we are honest and accurate in reporting our results. We passed with flying colors!
