Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

My insulin, thyroid and some other hormonal tests including testosterone test all have come normal. I was not able to ask the levels of each test on phone to my Gynac, but I'll let u know soon. Also, My sonogram report does show some follicles in ovaries, so my gynac said that I do have mild PCOD. Other then that everything is normal she said. She only needs to do one more test to check whether my tubes are alright.

Also, My husband's semen test has come out normal as well. So, she said its upon me to either continue with clomid and glucophage, or else stop for a while and then try naturally.

I have a question, do I need to take glucophage now even when I donm't have elevated insulin level. This month Iam on 150mg clomid, and its making me crazy, all day I feel dizzy,light headedness, and vomiting sensation and headache. My Gynac has left it up to me, whether I want to go in for 2 more months of Clomid alone or with glucophage or else stop everything and go natural way for few months.

Archie, Do tell me what I should do? Should I try clomid for 2 more months? Coz after 4 months on clomid, my BBt charts have changed, it was always a flat graph with high bbt later in the cycle. But now since last one month I am having a normal BBt chart with lower levels before ovulation and high after it,so may be clomid is working on me now. Or should I also take Glucophage along. Or just stop everything and try.

Thanks dear for all the responses you give me, it really makes me so relaxed.

Ruhi.
archie replied. typically you will need both Metformin and Clomid to help produce matured size egg.
looks like clomid is workign but chances will be increased by Metformin.

If this cycle fails then take a break for 2-3 months from clomid continue with metformin still. May be go with BCP for a month or two to control follicle growth and later just with Metformin things will kick for you naturally.

these are suggestions, choice is yours.
