Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body.

I'm taking Metformin, and apparently that could help get me pregnant quicker. Also I have a doc appt this friday to draw blood and see if I ovulated. If not they'll put me on Clomid. But lets say it works and I get pregnant, do they give me different meds to make sure that I can carry, or do we just wait and see whether I miscarry or not? Cause that's kind of sucky. Seems like there should be something they can give you to help balance your body and give you whatever hormone you arent producing.

They will test your blood to make sure and some times they can give you meds but not always. Sometimes there is a reason your body is misscarying it is like 10-15% of all pregnancies end in misscariage, but alot of people dont even know they are pg, But since we know within days it is hard on us.

I just want to add, if you aren't making enough progesterone, (which is a big reason most of us with pcos miscarry) your doc can give you suppositories to help with that. My RE monitored my hormone levels for a little while to make sure they were ok. I think all docs have their own procedure so it's hard to say but since you are so concerned I would request that they keep an extra close eye on you.

thank you very much for all of the replies. makes me feel a little better. I see my doc tomorrow, so I'll mention it to here. I saw that on another discussion here not to go to your reg OB/GYN, but that's who I'm going to and she's helped me tremendously. Do I really need to see someone "special" for this if she's helping me just fine?

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
