I have just had my PCOS diagnosis today and am being prescribed Metformin... So following this with great interest... X
COMMENT (23)
I have been on Metformin for 3 months now. So far no luck... I did get pos opks .. First one about 11 days ago and they stayed pos for about a week confusing the hell out of me.. But it was the first time I ever got a positive opk so my fingers are crossed.. I have a friend who was on metformin and progesterone and it took her 3 months to get pregnant... She was on a way higher dose though I'm on 1000mg a day and she was maxed out at 2500mg a day. I haven't had a period since the first week of starting metformin though. I have a check up with the doctor on Friday though and if it looks like I haven't ovulated yet I'm going to up my dose... Really afraid of Clomid and twins so want to try everything else first.

Yes, it is. It's an estrogen modulator and works by regulating hormones to ensure ovulation in an individual who is capable of such.

Is clomid a type of fertility pill
Metformin doesn't help get pregnant it helps with the metabolism and weight loss when you take 3 per day I was on these constantly on toilet make sure you eat a good diet on these not to much grease you should be ok x

My doctor told me that metformin is a diabetic pill used to treat PCOS
Ja
Yes it does actually. Because it helps regulate your insulin. If your body's insulin production is off it can cause your body to over produce testosterone which makes it difficult to get pregnant.

I was taking 3 times a day the pain is vile but if you eat non greasy food it's not to bad it helps break down the build up round ovaries when had Period it wasn't so bad when taking those though
I have been taking it 2x a day and haven't had any stomach pain. It's made me cramp around my ovaries a little bit nothing as far as bathroom habits goes.

The first time I took it was two years ago and it did the same to me but this time I haven't had much trouble with it.

I can't keep nothing down my system with it without having to go to the toilet right after eating and have been having bad pain around my ovaries
My doctor put me on the same thing when I got pregnant I found out I was pregnant in August 2015 but I have a miscarriage in October 9,2015 at 8weeks.. That was my second miscarriage I had one back in 2012.Now it's like I can't get pregnant I been trying ever since my doctor said it was okay to try again.. Still nothing I'm having BABY FEVER real bad. Lol
I was put on it for PCOS also in July of last year, and was pregnant by November. Baby girl is 5 weeks old now :) my coworker was also put on it and it took her about 15 months to get pregnant, her son is 17months now. It does work, but it's a hell of a roller coaster! Good luck, don't lose hope.
