Default Any advice on glucophage and ovulation?

I have PCOS and have been ttc for 2 years now. I have taken 2 different kinds of ovulation tests and I keep getting pale pink lines every day and never a solid line. The only day I didn't get a pale pink line was the day I was out of glucophage so I think the glucophage is giving me false positives. Any advice on how else to predict ovulation or other ovulation testing advice? thanks.

Were you on birth control? Can you have periods on your own? Or have you been prescribed Provera to induce periods? Can you ovulate on your own? If you cannot ovulate on your own than you need to be prescribed Clomid to INDUCE ovulation.



You're on Metformin (glucophage), correct? All it helps with regulating blood sugars, insulin resistance, and weight loss. Some women, all they need to do is lose weight and they're able to get pregnant. Sometimes however, just because Metformin and weight loss have helped a woman have a period it doesn't mean she's ovulating during her period.



If Clomid doesn't work (it has a high success rate) than there are injectables.



The best time you're ovulating is 2 weeks AFTER your period, but if you've been trying for 2 years with JUST Metformin it's not working and Clomid would be a good choice for your doctor to prescribe you. Also, a fertility specialist would be essential in your ability of getting pregnant as most primary care physicians know very little about PCOS.

The nature of PCOS is that you often have a CONSTANT level of hcg in your blood, so it makes detecting ovulation thru OPK's pretty much impossible. So, honestly, I'd save your money.



Have you tried tracking your basal temps?



Oh, I might suggest that you see an endocrinologist for your PCOS. PCOS is a hormonal problem, not a gynocological problem. Endo's are specialists in dealing with hormonal imbalances. OB/GYN's are specialists in dealing with the female reproductive system.

Birth control were you on? You can get yourself this time? Or you have been prescribed Provera to encourage this time? Can you ovulate yourself? If you can not ovulate yourself you need to be prescribed to induce Clomid ovulation.
You are on Metformin (glucophage), correct? All this blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, and helps weight loss. Some women, all they need to lose weight is doing and be able to get pregnant. Sometimes, however, just because of Metformin and weight has helped a woman a term that does not mean that she is ovulating is during this period.
If Clomid work (it has a high success rate) does not there are injectables.
You are ovulating best time is after 2 weeks of his term, but only if you've been Metformin and Clomid this is not working yourself to the doctor on duty would be a good choice with 2 years trying to. In addition, a special fertility getting pregnant as most primary care doctors know very little about PCOs your ability will be necessary.

Try deeply relaxing when you lie down to sleep. Make sure your room completely dark and focus on something, or something that will give you peace. Picture yourself lying on the beach after a subset instead of in your bed and listening to ocean and waves splashing back and forth, back and forth. You may end up waking up the next morning before you realize that you've fallen asleep.

Most patients with PCOS have elevated insulin levels a, condition know as hyperinsulinemia. The body's cells do not correctly measure the levels of circulating insulin and consequently overproduce it. Hyperinsulinemia leads to excess androgen and LH production by the ovaries.
