I have PCOS and I wanted to get pregnant
I have PCOS....I'm on medication now metformin(glucofage) it says that it can regulate my menstrual cycle and have the chance to get pregnant...Is metformin alone can help me conceive?because I can't afford some of the treatment for PCOS....by the way I'm on OCP also cause of my acne..but now it's all gone so I'm planning to stop the pills...I'm planning to take metformin alone.is that good?I wanted to get pregnant.
clomid can also be called "clomiphene citrate" or "serophene"
My insurance didn't cover them, and I used to pay $5 per 50mg pill. You only take them 5 days out of the month, so if you start at 50mg (some docs Rx 25mg but most start at 50mg) it's not too bad. By my fifth round I was taking 150mg which was 15 (50mg) pills, so it got kinda pricey. My sister told me to check out the Target phamacy though - I never did but she says everything she gets there is cheaper.
Good luck!

I was taking metformin and it does regulate your period and can help you conceive. It really depends if you have any other problems to figure in.
I have pcos, and fibroids I just completed a cycle of IVF and I am 6 weeks preg with twins.
PS have you tried taking clomid? you can order online for a little cheaper and there is a generic for it.

I started metformin august "06" and found out that I was preg in Oct. "06" it ended in a miscarriage...But it must have helped, cause I have been trying for like 5 years.. I have pcos too...I have even lost about 40lbs. and it had to have been the medicine!! Which is a good thing. It regulated my cycles....Before I was luck to have 4 cycles a year and now I have them anywhere from 28 to 34 days....so it is probably different with everyone, but it did help me..I haven't gotten preg since, but I don't think it has anything to do with the metformin, I don't think I have enough cm, and around where I live all there is are regular gyno's and my insurance doesn't cover infertility, so anything I do is outta pocket..but I hope I helped about the metformin...Good luck to you!!!
