Suffering From PCOS, Late Periods. Trying To Conceive. Taking Clomid. Suggestions?

I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 17 but was pregnant 3x. 1 miscarriage, 1 birth and 1 abortion. I am 24 years old and have been trying to concieve with my husband for the past 2 and a half years but cannot. I am 30 lbs overweight but could not concieve when I was thin. I have been on 2 rounds of clomid, the last round I did ovulate but no pregnancy. I do get my periods every month but they are always a week late. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Hormonal imbalances associated with PCOD make it difficult for pregnancy to happen and if it happens, to retain. I would suggest a complete evaluation before any more induction. Treatment should be based on the hormone levels, tubal patency and glucose tolerance tests. Addition of Metformin has been shown to enhance conception chances. Maintenance of a normal body weight also plays its part by regulating the demand for hormones. Monitoring of an induced cycle to identify the exact time of ovulation and timed intercourse is the mainstay of success. Hope this helps. Good luck.
