I'm on metformin and i started to ovulate again on it. It makes me feel very sick, nausea and yes my breast hurt too.
Mine are fuller also so I think it can be something to do with that.
Also if they give you progesterone that will do that too.
I started on metform on 9/11/08 and finally ovulated for the first time in over a year on 10/31/08 even had a normal cycle last month. I really like that medication.
check out my ovulation chart
I am not on progesterone only the metformin and my thyroid meds. Did your breast start feeling fuller after only a few weeks or did it take longer? Congrats on your ovulating! :) I am not sure I will know if I am ovulating when my periods are irregular. I have been very very very light spotting about every 3 or 4 days, once a day for like the past 4 or 5 months so I have not idea what is going on in that department. All I know is that dh and I have been having unprotected sex for the past several years and nothing has happened. My doc says I have pcos. Along with that I am overweight.......like alot overweight not just vanity pounds, and I am also insulin resistant. I hear they are all related to pcos. I am praying soooooooo hard that the metformin will help me with this but I am wondering when and how will I know when it has started working?
Also what dosage are you on. I did 500 mg for a week and now I am doing 1000 mg a day.
im on metformin too, and did not have side affects at all. just the first week of sick feeling and diahreah and thats it. then again im on a low does for now, only 500mg until jan 4. so maybe the sick feeling is due to being on a higher dose
I'm on 1600 MG a day. two doses of 850 MG.
Do you have insulin resistance? Did you have blood work done?
I had blood work done and they said that i have low progesterone and high testosterone and insulin resistance with the pcos. Also I have facial hair.
I also am very over weight. I weighed 400 pounds in Jan, 377 on 09/11/08 and now 349 pounds.
I found out that i ovulate by charting my cycle. also have a full cycle after a few months,
Yeah with in like 2-4 weeks my breast start to hurt.
