are you just doing IVF? are you treating your PCOS? You should probably be treating your PCOS before doing IVF. Thats what my RE has told me anyhow. I have to be on Metformin for at least 2 months before going further.Sometimes it's a matter of getting your body healthier first.Are you insulin resistant? Do you have enough progesterone,are your LH/FH ratio's ok?These are all things that can cause problems with coneption that can be treated preconceptionally with various medications and insulin sensitizers.I would question the motives of a clinic that will let you keep doing expensive proceedures before trying simple inexpensive ones like Metformin.
