Hi,
I understand that you have PCOD with
insulin resistance. So the treatment started is fine.
Metformin helps to sensitize tissue to insulin and
weight loss does the same. The best management is weight loss by daily exercise and proper diet that helps restore the hormonal mileu.
Also you have tried for only 5 months. It is suggested that a couple must try to conceive for at least 8-12 months spontaneously before undergoing any
infertility treatment. The main issue in PCOD is
anovulation meaning ovum is not released to get fertilized. I suggest that you try the weight control and metformin for 2 months and then get an ovulation study [ultrasonographic] done to see if ovulation is occurring. If it is, then you may need to practice sexual contact on those days to achieve
pregnancy.
If there is no ovulation with this treatment, you may need some ovulation inducing drugs along with
follicular study and HCG to achieve ovulation.
These are common issues nowadays and many women in my OPD suffer from this problem. Please do not worry as the chances of pregnancy are good if you take proper treatment and follow your infertility specialist.
Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day.
