Hi Ladies,

Over the past year I have been floating from IVF, to OPK, to DID, to Miscarriage, and now I have arrived here. The quick run down is in my sig............I am very very cyst prone. I had them as a teenager, then when I was pregnant with my son....pretty much any time I am off BC or pregnant. During my miscarried pregnancy my doc found another cyst on my left ovary this time.

I had surgery in Feb 07 to remove a calcification and two cysts on my ovary along with a 1/3 wedge ressection. My doctor sent me for all bloodwork relating to PCOS, and determined that I am just polycystic, but my blood work showed no elevations that would warrant Metformin or Glucophage at the time. Also I ovulate, I got pregnant with my son in '03 with no problem.
But, the cycle I got pregnant, I used the Clearblue Easy Ovulation Monitor, It showed me ovulating on day 17/18, kind of late???? Is it true that late ovulators have an increased risk for miscarriage???

I go for my D&C followup this Thursday, and wonder should I mention that I want to try the metformin/clomid(i read on line that it helps for late ovulators)????
Or just try again on my own without any meds???? anyone have an experience with PCOS and late ovulation similar to this???

Thanks, I look forward to chatting with you ladies!

I'm sorry for your loss!!

I've always heard about late ovulation and increased risk of m/c, but I don't think I ever heard about it from a doctor. I don't think cd17 of 18 is really l that late. My little miracle was cd 35. That's definitely a late O.

Glucophage can decrease your risk of m/c if you have pcos, so that would be my goal. I have no idea if it'd help make you O earlier or not. Gluc. alone did nothing for me, but when I added Actos I ovulated on my own. This combo was post clomid days though.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to ask about glucophage. If you are ovulating, I'd have to wonder if clomid would do more harm than good as far as the changes it can make with your cm etc. I'd voice your concerns to you doctor. I just don't think cd17 or 18 is really that late, but I would focus on the pcos issue related to a m/c.

Good lucK!
