HI everyone
Just after a bit of info.
I was diagnosed PCOS about 2 and a half years ago. Told to lose weight etc.
Am now TTC alone, have had one cancelled IUI due to low response to clomid.
Just starting next cycle with 50mg clomid and menopur injections.
Finding it impossible to lose weight, despite eating well, low gi etc.
A friend of mine also PCOS was given metformin by clinic consultant and told that she should have been on it since she was diagnosed, and has lost 6lbs after taking it for a week, with some changes to her diet.
I am convinced that it would help me. But can't understand why I haven't been offered, despite being told by doc and nurses that I need to lose weight (bmi 30).
I have a scan on Monday and will mention it to nurses but suspect I will need to see consultant, ot could I see gp?
Can anyone offer any info/advice? It is really getting me down and making me worry that i'll never conceive.
Thanks
Sarah xx
