I had my follow up appointment with the fertility doc today. The results were pretty good. She figures we have a 10% chance of pregnancy with medication. I have prescriptions for metformin and clomid. The metformin is for the insulin resistance that comes along with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome), and thus I must also be careful not to get diabetes which is likely for me due to the insulin resistance. The metformin will help me ovulate but the clomid will really encourage ovulation. I am being retested for thyroid and the fertility doc will treat me even though my tests for her came back high normal...she wants the TSH levels down nice and low to prevent complications in pregnancy. Hubby was all clear...
So all of that sounds like a lot, but for me, worried about being able to get pregnant at all and wondering about the results of all of the tests, that is good news.
Plus I must consider that a normal couple has only a 20-25% chance of conception on any given month...My hope has been restored:)
