Hi :) Long intro
Question:
Hi everyone. My name is Vicki, and I’m 28 yrs old. Married to a wonderful guy for 5 yrs. Diagnosed with pcos in jan of 2000. I knew I had problems way before then though. No periods…at all. Weight gain, facial and tummy hair. I have to take Provera to have a period, but I had to stop taking that because of the mood swings. So last AF I took crinon for 10 days. That was a horrible visit from Auntie F. It was my first period in 3 months. Now on glucophage xr, 1500 mgs. If that doesnt work I will take 2000 mgs. The drs seem very hopeful that I will have AF on my own. Oh..I dont ovulate at all. We were ttc right after we first got married, and had all the infertility tests done. They found out my thyroid was off, so I take meds for that. All the tests came back fine, I just dont ovulate 
I had taken 150 mgs clomid, which of course, didnt get me to ovulate. Hopefully if I can have AF on my own, it will be a matter of taking shots to get me to ovulate. I hope Im not forgetting anything. I’ve been a lurker in this group for acouple of days now, and I decided to come out of hiding. Any advice or whatever will be welcome 
And feel free to email me anytime. I will be checking in this group daily. TIA Vicki

Hmm, I believe one of the reasons PCOS women take glucophage is that it has been helpful in establishing ovulatory cycles. If this is the case–and it might take some ultrasound monitoring by your gyn to determine if you ovulated–then you might be able to hold off on the shots. You can also try taking your basal body temperature to see if ovulation has occurred, but charting your temps does take practice. If you’re interested, you can check out some charting websites, like www.tcoyf.com or www.fertilityfriend.com, but the latter is aimed towards helping women conceive, which I don’t know if that is the situation for you. I’m trying to conceive at the moment and am dearly hoping that the glucophage will help restore my ovulation. Best wishes, Michelle

Howdy I’m Victoria – nice to meet you. The Glucophage XR, supposedly doesn’t work as well as the regular brand. If the XR doesn’t work, you might want to try the other. Victoria "V S" <Schlink…@webtv.net> wrote in message
