>I am kind of new to this (not PCOS) - but this group and wanted some more info. I have taken 200 mg of clomid for last 2 months - and lesser doses for the 6 months before that. My last u/s showed crappy eggs - so the MD suggested next time (if I am not pregnant this time) - to try met and 100 mg of clomid. I hate clomid - and I hate how it makes me feel - and wonder if we could just skip it and go to something else. What is the something else?? What have other people done - or is this just the next way to go. I told him I hate clomid and the side effects - and he said he would take the dosage down - but maybe I just shot myself in the foot. Maybe I should be on 200 again in combination with the Met. I asked him - as I was concerned about the high dosage - and the PDR says not to go as high as 200. Have other people gone this high?? I hate all this "what if" stuff. ARRRRRRRGH!!! It alone is enough to drive me crazy!!

>Also - what weight loss programs have been effective for you? I know it differs between each person - but is everyone basically using the low carb idea?? Are you going as strict as the Atkins one?? That seems rather harsh - and to me it does not seem that it would be a great idea for people trying to conceive. My MD did not say I needed to lose weight - but I have put on about 30 lbs since I went off the pill about a year ago! YIKES!!!!!

Michele-I tried clomid up to 200mg several times, but was deemed "clomid resistant" due to all of the side affects and no ovulation.  I saw a reproductive endocrinologist who put me on Metrodin (injectable med) with my first child (he is almost 4 now), and Fertinex (injectable meds) with my second child (he is now 19 months).  I conceived both of them on my first ovulation cycle and took progesterone suppositories during the pregnancies.  I was pregnant with twins the second time, but ended up with just one health baby.  I am blessed to have both of my children.  There are newer injectable meds available now, but I am not sure of the names.  They were very expensive (about $60 and injection).  I started with one injection per day and advance up to two during my cycle.  The second pregnancy I developed ovarian hyperstimulation (this was not fun at all!).  My doc told me that this sometimes happens.  Good luck!  I personally hated the clomid and was a little bit nicer when I was taking the injectables.
