After a long journey (missing my bus, hour trip, finding out my appointment was an hour later than I planned...) I finally got in to see Dr. Lau. After some brief discussion about my past pregnancy and miscarriage, and the surgery he performed in August 2005 for Endometriosis, he went on to explain that my left fallopian tube was really messed up and how he was certain I had PCOS. I almost started crying because I thought he was going to talk about a follow up surgery (which is what he wanted to do in January of 2006), especially with the whole missing my period for 14 months...and then he said the magical words Clomid!

Since I'm on my 5th CD I start Clomid TODAY!!!!! I'm sooooo happy. I can actually start charting for once in my life!!!! He also perscribed me Metformin which he told me will reduce my chances of miscarriage and greatly reduce my chances of Gestational Diabetes during the pregnancy. I am so thrilled.... I see him again on the 23rd for a follow up where he's going to do an ultrasound and check my egg. Everything was so helpful, he even drew out a chart and stuff to show me when I will -for sure- ovulate and the best days to BD!!!

I asked him how long people on Clomid usually take to get pregnant and he said if not right away within the first six months! WOO!!!!

Anyways, just an update! Thanks to everyone who wished me well! I can't wait to tell the hubby!!!

that is great news !

are they making you monitor your blood sugar while on metaformin? I was on that for a few years for my type 2 diabetes.
it can also make your tummy a little "off" in the beginning ...so it is normal!

good luck to you !!!!

They put me on the Metformin for that. (the blood sugar thing)

And also, the Metformin is supposed to greatly reduce my odds of miscarriage and forming gestational diabetes when I do.

So!!! Double bonus!!
