Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

got preg/now to m/c-help

Question:

I was thrown around by doctors who diagnosed me with PCOS based on ultrasound alone.  I took chlomid for both of my pregnancies, both ended in m/c though in the 6th week.  I finally found a doctor who was willing to do the whole workup and what he concluded was two things, I definitely have a high LH level (it is double what the normal level is), and he thinks that this is why I’m miscarrying.  The other possible reason could be immunilogical (sp?), which we haven’t done to much testing with that.  I am going to go on Lupron (which reduces the LH levels) and then on injectables. He thinks that this will work.  It’s not that I have a hard time getting pregnant, it’s just keeping it that is so hard.] Good luck to you.

with pco… Is there a chance of getting pregnant without all those meds & shots? I have pco & am told there is no other meds I need other than Provera & birth controll to regulate if I wanted to take BC. I know nothing about folicles & overies.  I need info that the gyn wont or cant provide me with. Thanks Jinny.

Hi Jinny, Many doctors treat PCOS differently. PCOS is basically a syndrome wherein the hormones are out of whack, and this causes the ovaries to not produce eggs properly.   Since one of the precursors to hormones is insulin, many doctors have used an insulin-regulating drug (like Metformin) to help balance the hormones.  One good source of information is Dr. Charles Glueck in Cincinnati, at the Jewish Hospital…do a search for him and read his site!  I think you will find it informative. BCP and Provera are the old ways of treating this disease.  IMO, they only mask the problem, and do not help it, whereas treatment with Metformin actually regulates the insulin in the bloodstream, and helps to regulate hormone production.  I, personally, will never take BCP or Provera again, as I think they have contributed to my problems. Many women who have used Metformin have found themselves pregnant.  My physician told me that if I wanted to get pregnant, that 70-80% of his patients were pregnant within 8 months of starting to take Metformin.  Those are pretty good odds. Surf the internet and educate yourself about your options.  If you are not satisfied with the answers you are getting from your doctor, I suggest that you seek a doctor who is more receptive to your questions and needs.

 Well,I called my old re after my dr.didn’t have any options for me.I went in had a follicle,had hcg shot,had iui next day(dh has had low count now low motility).No wonder I wasn’t getting pg by myself.They had always wanted us to do iui,but we never had.The one time I conceived we were going out of town so couldn’t.Anyway it worked.I had preg.test Fri.14dpo and it was positive,but a low positive at 10.8.Today,Mon.I went for another hcg and it was only 11 so they told me to get off the proges.injections and I will start.They don’t know why this is happening.She said it could be cromosomal abnormalities,but the testing is expensive and they don’t do it till you’ve had 3m/c or it could be antibodies.She said you remedy it with baby asparin.I had been taking it after I found out though.Maybe I needed it sooner.I suspected it was from not taking the prog.for almost a week.My level was 21 after doing it days 3.5.7.9 then I didn’t take it from Sun.to Fri.and it fell to 9.I thought this had something to do with implantation,but she said it didn’t.She wanted me to take clomid since that’s how I got preg.on this cycle,but I told her it didn’t help me that I was oing on Met alone,but my other dr.was trying to move my ovulation down to day 15 instead of 20 and it didn’t help.So she said I didn’t have to do clomid then.I told her I only have 1 clomid cycle left too.I don’t know what’s causing the m/c.Any ideas? — Robin ttc#1-3yrs.on 3rd Dr.,pco since puberty on 2000mg., Metformin,B6,robitussin,baby asparin,evening primrose,8mg.clomid,soy lecithin,off coffee,off St.John’s Wort charting temps and mucous Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

{{{{{Robin}}}}} You have been trying so hard.  I’ve had 3 chemical pgs myself and think they were just bad luck (and in my case a uterine septum, perhaps).  For my fourth pg which lasted quite a while, I took baby aspirin beginning on CD 1 of the cycle — just 81 mg/day.  Just start it with the first day of bleeding and keep taking it.  Hope your luck improves . . . so sorry you’ve had to go through something like this.

Oh Robin, I don’t have any ideas for you.  All this treatment stuff is still a ways off for me, but I’m so sorry to hear about this loss.  My thoughts are with you. {{{Hugs}}} Jenn — ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jenn Golden Met since 21/March/2000 AF #1 24/May/2000 AF #2 28/June/2000 – 35 day cycle AF #3 10/Aug/2000 – 44 day cycle Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
