Hi... I was recently diagnosed with PCOS as well as a micro adenoma on my pituitary gland. I just started taking bromocriptine (for the adenoma) and D-chiro-inositol (for the pcos) and was just given nortrel to take since I ve been on my period for 3 weeks. My husband and I would like to have a baby...I m just curious how birth control (nortrel) would allow me to conceive. I am also hoping to start metformin soon. Thanks, Danielle
Hi, contraceptive will not help you in conceiving. It will regularise your periods. You have to take medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles. Track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. You can continue bromocriptine and chiroinositol. Metformin will also help. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help. Regards Dr khushboo
