>Hi Michele,
Thank you so much for the feedback. Today I am on day 19 of my cycle
and the pain is gone. I called the doctor on Friday and she said to
watch it over the weekend. It did not hurt when I urinated, and I even
had a positive ovulation test for the first time. The doctor said that
I was probably ovulating. I can only hope. I am on Clomid only. We
have an appt. with an RE on 8/25. They told me the next step would
probably be Metformin. I was just hoping that it would happen before
that. Oh well.
I had my testosterone levels checked and they were double what they are
supposed to be. That is how they diagnosed me. Thanks again for
responding. Have you had any success?
