My PCOS history

In 2006, DH and I decided to go off of the BCP and start TTC. After going off of the pill, I didn't have a cycle for over 75 days and decided to go to the Dr. to find out what was going on. August 2006 I was told that I have PCOS. That was an emotional roller coaster and a complete shock.

I started the journey taking Metformin. I took 500mg for 2 weeks, then 1000mg for 2 weeks and then 1500mg from that point on.

I went 113 days for with that cycle and only started a new cycle with the help of Provera. I took the Provera for 10 days and 4 days later started my new cycle.

On Nov 5, 2006 I started cycle 2. This cycle I took 1500mg of Met and 50mg of Clomid on cd 3-7. No results and my period only came on cd44 due to Provera.

On Dec 19, 2006 I started cycle 3. I took 1500mg of Met and 50mg of Clomid on cd 3-7 and still no results. Provera was used again to start a new cycle.

On Feb 4, 2007 I started cycle 4. I took 1500mg of Met, 50mg of Clomid cd 3-7(pm) and 80mg of soy on cd 1-3(am). Provera was used again to start a new cycle.

On Mar 26, 2007 I started cycle 5. I was taking some of my Met, but refrained from taking any other medicine due to the fact that we were moving out of state and finding new jobs. I didn't/don't want to be/get pregnant w/o health insurance and stable jobs.

That sums up the history.
