Just found out I have PCOS,she won't give me clomid yet.

I just found out that I have pcos, all I want to do is cry. My doctor told me it is mild, put me on metiformin and said to lose weight. She said this should help me ovulate but I want to know if this worked for anyone else?

The metiformin made me very sick when i took the first dose last night, she said one a day for a month.

Hi I am on metformin and i have my AF every month.  Being on the metformin will also help you loose weight but to help with the feeling sick you sould not eat sweets or do low carbs.  Also it will keep you in the bathroom for the first couple of weeks so just sleep by the bathroom. You have to try and stay positve if that dont work for you i am sure your doc will find something!!! Goodluck

I have PCOS too. There are so many with the same problem here. Don't worry. Listen to your doctor. Metformin has worked for some of them. I am on metformin too ..but it didn't help me ovulate on my own.

After a month or two  if you don't ovulate on your own, you must talk to you doctor about doing metformin and clomid. It might work. I has worked for few women. Good luck!
