Hello to all!

[Manda83]

I'm new to this forum. So I'll introduce myself. My name is Amanda. After nearly two years of not concieving and being devasted every month. I finally went to a doctor, not awhole lot happened. She tested my progesteron and told me I needed to have hubby checked. We got it all done and it seems everything was normal. No ideas or guidance. Just that's all we can do. I got word of a specialist thats really good at doing what he does. So Tuesday the 11th I had my first appointment. In talking with him, he told me that he could look at me and tell I hadn't been ovulating. He said if I'd ovulated at all this year he 'd be surprised. He went ahead and diagonsed me with PCOS and put me on metformin 1500mg a day. The next day i went in for an endo-panel blood test. I go back on Tuesday the 25th. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the whole situation. Has anyone gotten pregnant by metformin alone? B/c next time I go in he will want to schedule the surgery. He has already told me that. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

metformin is not suppose to help with getting pregnant. its a drug that most doctors put woman on when they have pcos. im on 500mg a day and iv also lost 24lbs since starting it. if you happen to be overweight, that might be the reason the doctor gave it to you. losing about 5 to 10% of ur body weight can help you to start ovulating on ur own. and if you dont start to ovulate then he will most likely give u something like clomid which helps to induce ovulation.
