Medical Video: Treating PCOS with Metformin - My experience
Spironolactone is a drug that is usually given to women who have problems with acne. Although there is a great debate about whether or not this drug can cause fertility problems, there is not enough evidence to support this statement. However, if you are pregnant and taking this medicine, you should still discuss with your doctor about other treatment options because this drug might affect your pregnancy.
If you are on Spironolactone treatment and have difficulty getting pregnant, you may need to discuss it with your obstetrician to determine whether this drug is the cause. However, it is possible that you do have other problems and need help getting pregnant. Many women find that if they take fertility drugs, they will have a regular ovulation cycle that allows them to get pregnant quickly.
To determine when your ovulation cycle, you should always track it with a basal thermometer or with a device to predict ovulation. This will help you to determine when you ovulate, so you can have intercourse at the right time. If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year and still haven't succeeded, consult your doctor to learn more about treatment options that you can take.
