You may want to speak with your doctor about taking progesterone in order to check your ovaries. You would take progesterone for seven days. If you still fail to menstruate after that time, it's an indication of inadequate estrogen levels or disruption in the ovarian cycle.
You doctor is putting you on Clomid to induce menstruation and ovulation. It is the treatment of choice in women with amenorrhea who want to get pregnant. Should you have PCOS, then Clomid would still be the treatment given.
Hope that helps. |
You know I kind of thought I did not have ALL the symptoms of PCOS either but I thought I woudl ask. After going to the Doctors yesterday she has decided to try me on clomid since she thinks that will be the fastest way to get me pregnant and reduce my stress about it. She knows how long I have been trying and said she wants me to be able to get pregannt and relax so I am going to start on that soon. At frist I really wanted to try another approach first but after talking to her and praying baout it a lot I think this is the best option for me now. Also she is running a few more blood tests just to make sure everything checks out okay before I start it. We also did an ultrasound and all that showed was the cysts that I normally have.
Thanks for your help and advice! Wish me luck!
