My husband (25) and i(21) are ttc and have been for two years. I have PCOS and am currently taking metformin 500mg 2x daily and have been for over a year. In Dec. I had a ruptured cyst. I have been following a low carb diet and still no luck. Reserching infertility online I found alot of sites saying Clomid can be used along with metformin to help with ovulation. Should I ask my ObgYn to put me on it? Anyone have any success with this drug? Any other ideas? Thank you for your help!
I have only ovulated twice in the past year

Infertility Specialist asked:


Most couples are very surprised when they discover that they may be infertile. This can be an emotional blow to a family. The couple dealing with infertility can really be in for a roller coaster ride of draining emotional experiences. Seeing someone you love go through something so complicated can be hard for family and friends as well. You may feel very sad and helpless when talking with the couple. You may feel like you should offer advice.

Keep in mind that you are not an infertility specialist and you have no way of knowing what infertility treatment may be best for the ones you love. Be careful about finding a lot of information online and offering it up as a solution to all of their problems. Many couples experiencing infertility are very deeply affected by their problem and may react irrationally to suggestions from family and friends. Dealing with infertility is a very personal journey that couples must go through together.

Remember that the couple is probably having trouble dealing with their infertility. Men and women react differently to infertility and some may consider their partner’s reaction to be the wrong one. This can really cause the couple to be in an uphill battle with each other. You offering up solutions is not going to solve all of their problems. You may only be giving them more to deal with. This can severely impact relationships, so you should proceed carefully when offering support and advice.

Do not get discouraged, there are ways that you can offer support without causing more harm than good. You can still be a pillar for the couple to lean on. You can be supportive without intruding on personal matters. Let the couple come to you with information rather than constantly prying for the scoop. Let them know that you are here if they need you, but you understand that this can be a very personal matter. Be there when they want to talk. Don’t discount their fears because they can be very real. Being afraid and talking about it to a third party can be very therapeutic for a couple. Offer perspective whenever possible, but don’t pretend to completely understand, as every situation is different.

One thing to remember is that the couple you care about is feeling very much out of control in a lot of ways. You can offer constructive support by giving them control whenever possible. Asking how you can help and putting them in control of dictating your role can help them feel supported without giving them the impression that they need to be saved. If they would like for you to stay out of it, then stay out of it. Let them know that you respect that decision and that you will be there for them if they need you. Support the decisions that they make as far as treatments are concerned. Wish them well, but try not to speculate on whether certain treatments will work. Offer as much support as needed without going overboard and you will be a great asset to the struggling couple.

Patients of Dr. Eric Daiter have often offered kind words about the way that he handles their very personal infertility situations. If you are searching for a specialist to deal with the infertility treatment of the ones you love, you may want to take personal testimonials like the one below into consideration.

Let me share some examples of the kind of attention Dr. Eric Daiter’s patients receive. While his main office is in Edison NJ, he maintains a satellite office in Ocean Township NJ. The Ocean Township office is closer to my home. However, given the nature of his practice, timing is everything. Ovulation did not always occur when he had office hours in Ocean Township. Dr. Eric Daiter, therefore, arranged to see me in his Ocean Township office, outside his normal hours, to accommodate my schedule or that of my husband. He did this on several occasions.

I have had the occasion to call Dr. Eric Daiter’s office with questions and concerns. His office staff has always been kind and courteous. Surely, this is a positive reflection on their employer. Further, if he was not available to take my call immediately, he never failed to promptly return calls, even on Saturdays. Additionally, he always spent as much time as necessary explaining things and answering questions. Neither my husband nor I ever had the impression that he was in a hurry or a rush to move on to the next patient.

When a woman finds out that she is infertile, it can be devastating. Just the sensation of knowing that she can’t conceive children is a very discourage experience. However, it is significant to know what causes the infertility because sometimes all it takes is a doctor’s advice or the use of a medicine to change the woman’s chemistry so that she can at last have the child or children she’s always wanted. If a woman confirmed that she is infertile, usually the doctor will advice her to go for endometrial biopsy.

What Is an Endometrial Biopsy and How Is It work?

The doctor will collect a sample of the uterine lining thru an endometrial biopsy by inserting a catheter through the woman’s cervix and into the uterus. The doctor will exam the sample of the uterine lining carefully to see if the uterine lining responds normally to progesterone, which is why endometrial biopsy and infertility have to go hand in hand. Sometime, the doctor also using an endometrial biopsy to test abnormal uterine bleeding. If you know you have infertile and an endometrial biopsy is arranged, make sure that you take ibuprofen before the process to alleviate some of the discomfort.

If the infertility is due to imbalance hormone, the endometrial biopsy will be able to detect that and the doctor will usually using prescribe progesterone to relieve it. However, it should be noted that not all women who are infertile and have an endometrial biopsy performed finally have kids. Infertility can be caused by a lot of things and you should not get your hopes up too high. An endometrial biopsy for infertility can be a very useful tool but it is not the only one.

The Use of Clomid for infertility

The use of Clomid and infertility drugs has gone hand in hand for thirty years or more. This drug is popular because it helps a woman’s body to start to ovulate in the way it should. The Clomid stimulates the ovaries to produce mature eggs every month. This is essential for raising the chances of getting pregnant. Clomid is well-known in many countries. You can find it readily available in the United States, United Kingdom and many online pharmacies.

Is Clomid Work?

Clomid and infertility are made hand in hand also. Clomid stimulates the receptors that regulate the female hormone production and the release of those hormones. There are three hormones that Clomid and infertility problems need to study on. They are Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), and the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These hormones are absolutely vital to proper ovulation in the woman for pregnancy to occur. Clomid and infertility treatment work because this medication is very fussy in making the body think that the estrogen levels are low. The brain sees these low levels estrogen and starts to make the three hormones listed above. They cause the ovaries to produce mature and high quality eggs.

Clomid and infertility in woman seem to be the cause for many of the prescriptions written today. It helps to treat PCOS, an ovulation, and irregular periods in women. The recommended prescription is usually written for certain days of your period. You might need to consume the drug on days three to seven of your cycle or you may need to take the Clomid on days five thru nine. For begin, the doctor usually recommend to take Clomid at about 50 mg. you may need more than one cycle of the medication before you get the results. If you have not increased your ovulation, your doctor will need to discuss with you to rise in the Clomid and infertility drugs. The extent of the Clomid usually limited to six cycles and you will need to discontinue the Clomid and infertility treatments, and you will need to be assessed for other options.

Successful Outcomes

Clomid and infertility drugs are the choice of women for a successful treatment for ovulation difficulties. You may become one of the seventy or higher percentage of the women on Clomid and infertility drugs that will become pregnant. You will need to confirm with your doctor and fertility specialist about whether Clomid and infertility drugs are right for you.

Today, many people don’t want to rely on prescription drugs and want natural solutions, making Maca and many other natural herbal cures more popular than ever before.

For thousands of years Maca has been used throughout South America as a general nutrient, body tonic, to enhance libido and improve reproductive health and it’s now popular all over the world.

The Plant

Maca, Lepidium meyenii, is an annual plant which produces a radish-like looking root. It’s grown and cultivated in Peru’s Central Highlands and has a life of about seven years when harvested.

The legend of the maca plant goes back to ancient times, when after conquering a city the Incan soldiers were prohibited from using Maca in order to protect the women of the city from the higher sex drive of the warriors, which Maca was considered to give them.

Why it Works

Maca contains large amount of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and contains around 60 phytochemicals.

Maca is an adaptogen, this means it adapts itself to the body’s metabolism to give a greater sense of wellbeing and vigor.

It balances the functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary master glands, the adrenal glands, the thyroid and the pancreas. Maca increases and optimizes the levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone in the body and this is why it such a good herb for overall wellbeing and increasing libido.

Like many other natural sex enhancers there are those that swear by Macca and those that dismiss it.

The best way to find out if it works for you is to simply try it - it will do you good anyway and will probably give you an increased libido as a result.
