[quote=Anonymous]Frankly with PCOS your best chance is IVF. I have PCOS & regular cycles for the majority of my life till I had and extra period when I was 29/30 and that's when my RE indicated that I had  an anovulatary cycle. To much of my surprise found it odd but I had also gained a significant amount of weight and mind you we were not trying to get pregnant during this time. I had monthly OPK which responded well to 7 cycles of clomid with TI which did show I was ovulating, did 2 cycles of letrozole with one TI & the other IUI. we eventually decided to go ahead with IVF. During my clomid cycle I went on metformin for a year didn't lose any weight. ended up working out and eating right lost 40lbs close to my ideal weight, maintained weight for over 3 years to which we started trying to conceive without clomid/letrozle. still was not able to conceive even with regular cycles. initially we didn't have any male factor issues till the latter of when we decided to do our first IUI. that's when we decided to just go straight to IVF. We harvested 39 eggs 19 matured & 14 fertilized with ICSI. 5 made it to 5 day blast the remainder arrested at the morula staged. considering you are at high risk for OHSS I probabaly should have not transferred an embryo at the time. We still have 4 frozen and we are looking forward to FET in in the next few weeks. If you have IVF coverage go ahead and utilize it while u can. My previous employer paid up to 3 IVF cycles only could do one and then we had to move across state lines. DH does not have IVF coverage and mine has a limit of 10K. so for now we are doing FET out of pocket. Honestly ever since I got off clomid/letrozole & IVF  I haven't been able to get my cycle close to normal since (was 28-30 days) now am well above 45-60 days which is very frustrating. When it comes to PCOS you have to really find what will work best for you as each case is unique in its own way. I wish you good luck in whichever way you decide to go. baby dust!![/quote]
