metformin and Clomid for pregnancy
by nwhite, Nov 02, 2006 12:00AM
Well, in March of ' 06 I became pregnant, my doc put me on bc pills for 6 weeks and then told me to ttc and it did work, but I miscarried in May, the doctor said that my progestrone levels were to low, after the miscarriage, dh and I have tried diligently to retrieve pregnancy again, but have had no luck. Doctor did a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and d&c on me 3 weeks ago, the day after surgery i began taking metformin 500mg, one a day, and soon I will start taking clomid 50mg. My question is, how long do you think it should take for me to acheive pregnancy?

I was DX woth PCOS and was put staright onto Metformin, have been on Metformin for 3 months but it has not brought back my periods, so the fertility specialist has put me on provera to induce my period so I can get started straight on Clomid.
The experts say that used in combination there are really good results of pregnancy using both Metformin and Clomid.... But Every case is different. That is one thing that I have had to learn over the course of this 9 months of TTC... It's hard to accept bc you want answers now. But your body will work how it's going to work and there is no getting around that.
I am on 1000mg Metformin a day and will be starting on 100mg of clomid as soon as my cycle begins (which should be in about 7-10 days after stopping provera)
I am also having a procedure done where they inject dye into my cervix on CD12 which will show up any blockages aswell as flush out anything that shouldnt be there.... my doc also says a reprted higher fertility rate in the next 3 months after having the procedure, so Im really excited and nervous to start this journey!
I wish you all luck!
