I'm back from my second consult with the RE. After doing a month of tests, everything appears normal. However, he thinks my glucose might be too high (87) compared with my fasting insulin (4) and wants me to try Avandia to help regulate ovulation.
Im really confused b/c neither of those numbers were flagged as high, and I do suspect I have irregular ovulation but have no signs of PCOS. My BIG worry is that Avandia is Category C in pregnancy, so wth!? I dont want to risk birth defects on what appears to be a shot in the dark. Anyone have any insight? I've also heard that it causes weight gain and my RE said he wanted me to gain 5 pounds which may be an ulterior motive of his. This is also nuts to me becuase I am 5'8" and 138 lbs-- hardly a waife! And it took me two years to lose the weight from my first pregnancy (concieved without help) so Im devastated at the thought of putting it back on.
Any advice out there? I dont know what to do.

I take avandia for ttc so maybe I can help a little. Eventhough it's a class c drug it's never been shown to cause any birth defects and your doctor will take you off it when you get a confirmed pregnancy test. It can cause weight gain and if your dr thinks you need to gain a few then try to do it healthfully.
