Hello! I started having problems with periods like two years ago. They were always regular and in time. I did put on a little weight than but nothing too worrisome. What I hated the most is that my leg hairs became stronger and I even had some hairs growing on my neck. That was really disgusting.
I went to see a doc when I started having pain in the low abdomen and when the periods became really weird. I was also diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian.

I was 25 then and haven’t been planning on having children, so my doc gave me some bc pills to try to get my periods on the right tracks.
I had issues with excessive hair growth, so the doc prescribed Spironolactone. I didn’t take that drug very well, so I stopped soon after.

Do you have problems with excessive hair growth?

Did your doc prescribe any fertility medications to you?
I am still not thinking about having children but the doc told me to some and see him when I decide to do so, so that we can check out what’s going on and work on the plan.

Are you going to give it some time until you lose some weight or …? You don’t have any periods at all?

HI, WELL ABOUT 2YRS AGO I TRY CLOMIPHENE 50MG FOR ABOUT A MONTH, MY DR. WANTED TO SEE IF I WOULD COME ON MY PERIOD. AND I DIDN'T SO I ORDER OVULEX AND THAT STARTED MY PERIOD BUT IT WAS HEAVY AND I HAD BLOOD CLOTS AND THAT'S WHEN I WENT TO THE DR. AND THEY STOP IT WITH BIRTH CONTROLS BUT THAT WAS ABOUT 6 MOS AGO AND I STILL HAVEN'T HAD A PERIOD SINCE THE B/C STOP IT. BUT I'M TRYING TO STILL GET PREGNANT, AND I'M NOT OVER WEIGHT LIKE THAT IT'S THAT I GAIN SOME WEIGHT AND I KNOW THAT IT MAY BE CAUSE A HORMONAL IMBALANCE BUT I WILL SEE WHAT MY DR. SAIDS AND WHAT KIND OF PILLS SHE PUT ME ON AND FOR SOME REASON I HAVEN'T TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST, AND THE REASON MY BE IS THAT I DON'T THINK I PREGNANT BUT THIS IS THE LONGEST I EVER WENT WITHOUT MY PERIOD, BUT I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!!!

Is ovulex over the counter product? I heard that many women reported side effects from it just like you experienced heavy bleedings and blood clots.

My doc talked to me about Clomiphene. It produces more FSH that triggers ovulation. I hear that success rates are like 80 %.
Haven’t you received a shot of Provera to induce your periods before starting Clomiphene? I think it is how it goes. Ovulation should then occur like two weeks after the treatment. Did you order ovulex on your own or did your doctor suggested it?

The funniest thing with Clomiphene is that it is likely for a woman to get twins or even triplets.
I was kind of counting on this drug if some troubles occur but you have raised suspicion into its positive outcome.

Anyway, I really hope you will get pregnant soon and yes, keep me posted!

HEY, WELL I ORDER OVULEX ONLINE AND I WENT TO THE DR. AND SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE PROVERA FOR 2 MOS AND SHE ALSO PRESCRIBE GLUCOPHAGE(METFORMIN 500MG) TO TAKE ALSO FOR ABOUT 4MOS BECAUSE MY SUGAR LEVELS ARE HIGH, SHE SAID THAT THIS SHOULD WORK AND THE PROVERA IS TO START MY PERIODS NOW BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD A PERIOD SINCE SEPT. 05 AND I WOULD BLEED HEAVY AT FIRST THAN I SHOULD BE OK AFTER THAT, THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO THIS AND ALSO MY DR. SAID THAT IF THIS DON'T WORK THAN SHE WAS GOING TO PUT ME BACK ON CLOMID/METFORMIN TOGETHER, I ALSO HAVE TO GO ON A LOW CARB DIET AND EXERCISE THAT SHOULD HELP OUT TO WITH THE POCOS.

I have pcos and for 9 years we tried clomiphene then super ovulation to no prevail-during those years I never got a period.Well I started to loose weight by going on a weight loss program and my period came back and five months of weight loss and 60 lbs gone I found out that I was pregnant without any fertility drugs!!My specialist has no idea why it happened maybe the weight loss?Noe in the las 16 months since my son was born I have gained weight-stil getting my period but we have been trying to get pregnant for the last 8 months on cloiphene without it working.So does the weight have to do with it?Well our next step will be metformin and clomiphene together, and I am trying to loose weight as well.I must say I wouldn't change my fertility problems for anything as during all the treatments we were blessed with two daughters Terren and Graicen through adoption-so my fertility problems were ment to be.To all of you out there it will happen wether biologically or through adoption.good luck and wish us luck too!!!

I've been on metformin and clomid now for 3 months, no luck. Period came and went after 1 dose of provera, but now it's time for it to start again and hasn't. I've also been checking with a basil therm. and tracking those to see when I'm ovulating. No luck to far, am 25 years old. Was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago. Can anyone tell me of any other meds that are useful?
