Hi everyone, my name is Latoya(27). Married 4 yrs, DH is 37.
I have been trying to conceive for over 3 years, I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2007. I am taking 1000 mg of Metformin, however RE wants me to take 2000mg a day, but that dosage makes me extremely sick. I was unsuccesful with clomid, started femara 2.5mg in February no luck, March went to 5 mg cd 3-7 follistim 50u 3 days, and ovidrel, went for iui and DH did not produce enough sperm so had to cancel and try baby dance. BFN. April same meds however this time my follicles did not reach maturity. Took a short break and had lap on Oct 6th. RE found a small cysts on left ovary which she removed and also states that I have a very mild case of endo, which she doesnt feel will effect me. I have to take provera to start my cycles so I took my last pill on 10/20, and my cycle started 10/28. I went in for ovary check on cycle day 2, everything fine. Started femara 5mg cd 3-7. Follistim 75ui cd 7 and 9. Which brings me to today, cd 10. I went for follicle scan. I had several follicles but only 2 decent size, 1 at 16mm on one side and 13 mm on other. My lining is 5.6. My e2 level was 35.9. RE wants me to do another 75u tonight and tomorrow of the follistim, then ovidrel on Sunday night which will be cd 12, then do iui on Tues cd 14. I guess I am just worried about the lining and e2 levels. Not worried about follicle size because they say they grow 1-2 mm a day.
I know this is a lot to read, but I am curious if anyone has had any success with these meds, or do you know if lining will continue to thicken by ovulation? what about the e2 level, shouldnt the number be bigger?
Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
