We found a doctor we are really pleased with. It's actually kind of ironic, we're going to see a doctor that our insurance doesn't even cover, but he far surpasses any of the other doctors we have talked to or even heard about from our friends. He works at the student health center at the University where my husband attends school. So even though our insurance doesn't cover him, the care is discounted and to see him is actually less expensive than my regular co-pays.
Our main purposes for the visit were to get my husband's seman analysis results interpruted, with clarity, to answer my husband's questions, and to know what to do next. I pretty much already knew that Clomid was the next step, but we wanted to go through that process with a doctor we like. So here are the results:
Husband's seman analysis was A+. Our Doc said that we really couldn't except anything better. My husband was VERY proud to hear that.
We went over my test results and he said pretty much what I already knew, no ovulation, likely PCOS, but he did teach us something that I didn't know. There has been a study with Clomid and Metformin (I have been taking Metformin), they found that out of three groups, women on Metformin only, Clomid only or Both drugs, results were the strongest for the Clomid only group.
So I was given a perscription for Clomid and stopped the Metformin effectively immediately. The doc told me that it might be a good idea to save the Metformin pills for after I give birth (please oh please be sooner than later). The Metformin will help me to lose the pregnancy weight, one of the symptoms of PCOS is that it's easy to gain and hard to lose weight (totally me)
I took my first Clomid pill today.
I am optomistic.
