Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

I'd like to meet others who are fighting this battle.

Treatments

Clomid Working / Worked

Took Clomid for 3 consecutive cycles (100 mg), produced 2 follies first cycle, 1 3rd cycle. O'd but all we're a BFN. Side effects: moodiness, depression, bloating, back pain, blurry vision, night sweats.

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked

1 trigger shot. Ovidril worked, used it with my Clomid cycles to time my IUI. Side effects - ovulation pain increased, other stuff couldn't tell b/c Clomid ones were occurring.

Metformin Working / Worked

Helped me lose weight, trying it again with regular multivitamins, fish oil and exercise

NuvaRing Working / Worked

Loved it - easier to remember than the pill. No side effects, I was even able to lose weight.

Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked

Lo-Estrin/ Ovral - took for years, managed my symptoms. Yaz took for a few months, hormones to out of whack for it to work properly

Progesterone Working / Worked

Helped with my levels, cycle still a BFN

Provera Working / Worked

Used 5 - 7 days, usually works by 1 week.
