>I haven't tried Clomid yet. I saw my doctor this morning and I have Hyperplasia. She does not want me to get pregnant right now, although she said I am not ovulating anyway so there isn't any way I could get pregnant. How much Avandia were you on? I am on 4 mg/day, but she told me to increase it to 8 mg/day now. Are you at all overweight? She told me that becasue I am over weight that is why I have the Hyperplasia and that the PCOS disease works against you even more when you are heavy.
Congratulations on being pregnant. I have a 3 year old and was only able to get pregnant when I was at my goal weight. Now I am very much overweight and trying to loose it. I am really hoping the avandia will help. Any insight on weight loss or things that have helped you would be great! >--
