clomid and metformin

[bearfamily333]

Has anyone here had good/bad luck with combining metformin and clomid? I am supposed to start the clomid at the end of this month and I have been on the metformin for a little over a month. I have been ttc for 2years now and nothing. I am really anxious to start a family. I dont want to get my hopes up but I want a family so bad.  I have never been pregnant and have been recently diagnosed with PCOS.  Anyone else in this situation?  Thank you for your advice.  I really need it!!

I also have PCOS. I found out a little over a year ago I have it.  I am 29 and almost 15weeks pregnant with my 1st.  I went to see a RE dr because I was not ovulating and to treat the PCOS.  I got pregt the 1st month of treatment on metformin (Fortamet) and clomid.  Sadly, my pregnancy ended in a m/c at 7 weeks.  This crushed me in ways that I cant even describe... but I kept faith and a miracle happened two weeks after my m/c.  I got pregt without any fertility medications on what my Dh and I call a "miracle accident".  Anyway, I do believe in the clomid/metformin combo.  My Dr assured me that many women experience m/c and go on to have a good pregnancy the next time! He said the m/c was most likely a chromosomonal defect and not necessarily because I have PCOS. I will never know what truly caused it to happen, but I try to find peace in my heart to believe that there was some wrong with my 1st angel and thats why it happened.  I stayed on metformin(Fortamet) until my 12th week of this pregnancy.  I go in tomorrow for my 2nd prenatal checkup to listen to the heartbeat.  I continue to pray for my miracle and for everyone who is waiting on theirs.....

Thank you. That really gave me hope. I am sorry to hear about your loss but I am really happy you are pregnant now. Congratulations.  Hopefully this will work with me. I am really anxious to try it. Is there anything else along with the clomid and metformin I should be doing. Maybe something that helped you? I really appreciate your advice.  This forum has really been a blessing

Hi there I also have PCOS. We tried to get pregnant for 3 years and nothing doctors didn't have anwsers so we quite trying. A month later we were pregnant and had a healthy boy born June 2005. The second time it wasn't happening fast enough so I went on metformin and clomid got pregnant the first month but M/C 7 weeks later so 2months later tried again and now we have another healthy boy who is 7 weeks old. It worked for us so relax and keep trying. Marci

I too have PCOS, I started on metformin about 2 weeks ago, after provera (AF) I will add in some clomid and an injection of ovadril. I'm thinking it all should "go down"...I should O, mid to late march. I'm hoping for good resluts for all of you and me too! Best of luck and keep me posted
