I want to get pregnant but I have PCOS. My ob-gyne recommended metformin and duphaston to regulate my menstrual cycle and Ive been taking it for two months. HOwever, I am having breakthrough bleeding and my cycle is short (only 21 or 22 days since I started taking the medicines). Id like to know what are the chances of me getting pregnant and how long should I take treatments?
Hi, Let me start by saying PCs has a high chance of pregnancy. By using hormone pills you are treating the symptoms not the cause. That extra pad of fat around the midsegment of body is responsible for the hormonal imbalance & no ovulation. Your weight(Kg) should be Height in CMS -100. Have regular controlled diet, low calories diet, No junk food. NO FASTING. Have regular exercise, especially for the midsegment of body. Kindly check if Thyroid profile & Serum Prolactin levels are normal. Take Metformin, which helps in ovulation & also reduce weight. Not only the chances of pregnancy increase, also chances of abortions reduce after fat reduction. Some docs advise Laparoscopic ovary Chat Doctor. In the meantime confirm your tubes are patent - by HSG (X-ray with dye) or SSG(scan with dye) or laparoscopy.
