Any PCOS women have success on Metformin and Clomid?

[Justine17]

I've been diagnosed with PCOS recently and will start Metformin and Clomid.  I've heard the chances of having a healthy pregnancy with these meds are 40% for PCOS women which isn't too bad but wish it was more like 80%  : )  Just wanted to hear any success stories to help cheer me up. Thanks

Hi everyone, I was diagnostic with PCOS when I was a teenage and I took both controls to regular my period. When I was 27 years old, I started to try to get pregnant and my mother told me to lose weight. I did not listen to her. After almost 2 years trying, I finally started eating healthy, drinking protein shakes, and exercise. I went from 133 to 125 pounds and 2 months. I use the book, “Eating for Life”.  After I lost weight, I got pregnant and it was I healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Now, I am 32 years old and trying for the second time, but I am 20 pounds heavier than when I got pregnant with my first. I am going to start the diet again and this time I will do it with Metformin and Clomid at the same time. I hope I get pregnant again and I advice all the women with PCOS to eat healthy and exercise when trying to get pregnant.

Hi All,
My situation is a little different but i am in need of someone that has anything similar besides having PCOS... I am 25 years old my husband and I have been trying to concieve for about 2years, I have tried clomid in the past about 3years ago had an eptopic pregnancy, and 2miscarriages... BUT besides having PCOS i had a dr who ACCIDENTLY cut one of my ovaries off... it rotted in my body for almost a year and grew attached to my pelvic bone, I had surgery again to find out what was causing all the pain and they removed the big mess.... So now i am left with one ovary with pcos. I am getting very frusterated with everything to do with trying to conceive, I go to walmart and i see all these teeny boppers with 2 or more kids that are screaming at them and i honestly feel like i am being stalked by them all! LOL i am on clomid now, day 2 of day 6 on period. The only upside is for the past 12 months i have had consecutive periods ... where as before i only had 3 periods a year.. does that mean my chances might improve? or is it to late for me?? If anyone can help PLLEEAASSE let me know...my husband is 10years older than me and feels everything is his fault... hes not understanding how difficult it is to conceive with pcos, Also has anyone had successful  results with the ANSWER daily ovulation tracker?? i got them because there is 20 Lh strips rather than 7...

Hi Everyone. I posted my first comment here in March. Since then I've still had no luck, but am trying to still keep some hope. I've been on one round of Clomid - where I had to cancel that cycle because I developed cysts (my RE said that this is common with Clomid). The next month my RE prescribed me 7.5 mg of Letrezole (Femara). I developed 4 good-sized follicles. My doctor told me that there was a high chance for multiples if I continued that cycle (she said about 20-25% chance of twins, and my chances for triplets would be increased as well). She informed me of the health risks that arise from having multiples of 3 and higher, and because I wouldn't choose to do "selective reduction," my doctor wanted to lean towards canceling that cycle as well. So to stay on the safe side, I canceled that one as well (one of the hardest decisions I have had to make thus far - but for me, it was a logical one.) For my next cycle, she reduced my Letrozole dosage to 2.5 mg, which produced 1 good follicle, but no pregnancy. This month she upped me to 5 mg, which produced 2-3 good-sized follicles. I also took the Ovidrel trigger shot this month. I continue to pray that we'll become pregnant soon. I cannot wait to have children, but it is in God's hands and all you can do is continue to have hope and believe it will happen. Hang in there everyone. Baby dust to all!

Hi everyone. I have been reading your stories and can't express how thankful i am for each of them. I am 23, and my husband and I have been married for almost 3 years. We started ttc about 6 months after we were married, but just as soon as we stared, my cycles became irregular and finally stopped altogether. I was heartbroken bc we want a baby so badly, and around that time 3 of my friends got pregnant within the same month. I went to my doctor and she said it was "possible" i had PCOS, but she left it at that and sent me on my way. So, after waiting another year and losing some weight, i went to a fertility specialist last monday, and sure enough got a firm diagnosis of PCOS. He started me on 500mg Metformin and 10mg Provera, and on day 6 of a 12 day cycle of Provera, i started my first cycle in almost 2 years. I am praying that this is a good sign. Have any of you had any success in getting pregnant with the Provera and Metformin alone? I have my next appointment on the 25th, and am anxious to see if he will put me on clomid to start ovulation. I am hoping something works. Ironically, the day i was diagnosed with PCOS, my younger sister called and told me she is pregnant. Excited for her, but heartbroken at the same time...
Praying for all of you, and best wishes to those TTC.
