CD 8 and well life goes on

saw LA yesterday, did a scan, classic PCO ring of cysts around ovaries but none of them mature big enough to be distinguishable.

got to go back on Fri to re scan, hopefully by then got some visible follicles.

Talked abt metformin and ovarian drilling.

metformin is a medication used to treat insulin resistance. supposedly can also used in PCO cases to correct hormonal inbalance as well as weight control. side effects includes nausea n stomach upset.

Ovarian drilling is done via Laparoscopy, where a portion of the ovary is burn away by laser to adjust hormonal imbalance. side effects include ovarian failure.

advice from LA regarding IUI, skill of doc involved will affect chances of success.
