Trying to concieve clomid+provera

Hi. Im new to the forum and just wanted to share my story and see if anyone has any advice or if anyone is going through the same as me.
I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago, which explained a lot of issues i had. Me and my partner have been trying to concieve now for over 18months and at the moment i feel really desperate and useless. I have really irregular periods and i haven't been ovulating.
My Ob/gyn prescribed me with Provera (to induce a period) and Clomid 100mg to take CD3-7. I started Provera 01/01/07 and my period came along 09/01/07. I took my 5 days of clomid from the 3rd cycle day and now im just waiting and hoping i'm going to ovulate. Has this worked for anyone else?

Many Thanks ljsttc

Baby

Hi, yes it has worked, my daughter is now 9 years, i did the same thing, with the provera and clomid. I am trying to conceive right now and just is awaiting ovulation...

it works

hi ,
to answer you question it does work. my cycles have been screwed up for many of years. i conceived the first time around. it also is the safest and most inexpensive way to go . i tried for 4 years tell my ob put me on provera and clomid. i also have an underactive thyroid to tie it all together. if that is anyones problem the say you levels have to be pretty close on .

Wow

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY IRREGULAR PERIODS, I WAS PUT ON PROVERA TO BEGAN MY PERIOD. MY DOCTOR TALKED TO ME ABOUT CLOMID, DOES IT WORK. I ALSO HAVE THYROID PROBLEMS. SHOULD I CONSIDER CLOMID, IM TRYING TO CONCEIVE.

Worked for me...

I am also PCOS (although was symptomless, until my periods stopped).

I had 'something' to give me a period (obviously like provera), then took clomid starting at a very low dose (half a 50mg tablet a day) for 5 days (can't remember from what cycle day). At day 21 I went for a blood test to see if I had ovulated.

This went on for about 8 months, kept at a low dose initially, then upped it every so often to see what dose caused ovulation. Finally I ovulated on 2x50mg tablets per day consistently. A few months after this was confirmed via the day 21 blood tests (which I went for every cycle) i became pregnant.

I think the reason my dr started low dose was to prevent the risk of multiple eggs being released (this can cause a hormone overload/shock apparently). But I kind of forget the reason already - although I knew very well then!

i am currenty 34 weeks pregnant. Good luck!

Only took the 'period inducer' once

After that I had regular periods so I didnt' take that again, just the clomid.
