GETTING PREGNAT & METFORMIN & SYNTHROID!

I am 28 yrs old. I have had PCOS since I was 14. I had to have my thyroid removed in Nov due to nodules. I am taking 50mg of synthroid. I am about to start metformin back up to see if it helps with my weight gain & pcos symptoms. The we will be doing IUI. Anyone out there have the same story? Does all this help with getting pregnant?

Good luck . I have been on a lot of different meds & researched a lot. so if you have any questions please let me know. i am about to go for IUI in a few months i will keep you posted. My insurance does no cover anything . not looking forward to the cost at all , but it will be worth it :)

We have been trying for about 2 years on and off due to my issues. year one without any help and year 2 with help from my OBGYN and my Endocrinologist. Last year I had a "Spotting" period that lasted several months, followed by a D&C, then a few months after that I had a horribly heavy period that I had to take meds to stop (all of this obviously derailed the baby making business for a while). Finally getting back on track in 2013 so my fingers are crossed that there will be a positive pregnancy test this year.

Are you wanting any more kids? If not i would go on birth control. It helped when i was younger with PCOS symptoms.

I have PCOS and they put me on Metformin awhile ago and added the synthroid shortly after. I am currently take clomid to try and help but if it doesn't IUI is my next option. I have no children yet but I am trying my best to get there. Good luck and hope it all works out for you.
