Anyone take Metformin to get pregnant?

Question

I just got put on Metformin this morning... Anyone take it? Did it work? How long did it take? Side effects? Anything I should know would be helpful!! Thank you!

Answer

I can now say YES!! I have been on metformin for 6 months and take 2000mg per day along with ovasitol (recommended on glow) thought it can't hurt to try! I am still in shock to get my BFP 14th July (I had blood tests every month in January - may and had not ovulated at all!!) I just got referred to fertility treatment and boom positive HPT - miracles happen ladies

Answer

Diarrhea!! That was really the only side affect that I noticed. It was terrible the first few weeks. I've been on it since March 2nd and have lost 15 pounds (I think from all the extra pooping lol). I still get bad diarrhea according to what I eat. Overall it had been a good step for me.

Answer

I was on it for months, I got off because of dental work. I got pregnant the month I stopped taking it !

Answer

I got pregnant on metformin and I now have a 4.5 month old son. ask me any specific questions you have .

Answer

I ovulated for the first time in 6 months after taking Metformin for about 4-5 weeks. It's greatly helped to shorten my cycles from 100+ days to around 40. Because my cycles were still long I was put on Clomid as well.

The first week I took Metformin I had some diarrhea which turned to constipation, but now I'm just fine :)

Answer

I just got back on metformin Monday. Doctor said that I HAVE to take it since I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS. The side effects has been awful. Sick all day long. But a lot of people has told me that I'll just get use to it. Here's hoping that it works!! Good luck to you as well.

Answer

I haven't had any sickness yet luckily!

Answer

You can expect diarrhea for sure, no matter what you eat. After a week or two, it should calm down and only really suck if you eat too many carbs. Carbs are our enemy, 😒 but, Metformin is a good med to take for pcos, it really helped me
