PCOS & ME

[maia83]

Hi my name is Laura I started with Metformin 3 weeks ago. 1st week 1 500mg at bedtime and after the 2nd week 500 mg @ bedtime & 500 AM….
Yes worst side effect, diarrhea & I feel sleepy.
I used to take this med 1 yr ago, & after a paraloscopy to remove a cyst my gyn decided to put me on Clomid…..
I’m trying to conceive……. After o luck with clomid… We change back to Metformin…
I don’t ovulate on my own, so she recommended to take my body back to normal, & then start clomid again…. I have more than 1 ½ yrs trying to have a baby… & no luck…….
For me is like start from scratch once again….. We’ll see if I get my period next month… & how long will take me to get pregnant…
Yes I’m overweight

254lb   5’4”

Any luck getting pregnant with metformin,,,, how much longer I have to wait????

I also have problems ovulating. I have been on metformin for 4 months and just finished my 3rd cycle of clomid. No luck for me with either, they told me that neither of them made me ovulate. It is so frustrating, I know! I am going to see a new dr, my current one referred me to an RE. Just hang in there, I know how hard it is. Yes, I am also overweight and they did tell me that a lot of people lose weight while on metformin, but I haven't, I feel like I've gained. Also have you tried OPK or BBT? That might help to see if you are ovulating.

The Metformin is what the doctors prescribed to me as well.. I never tried it because im always afraid of side affects. I know they told me to only eat certain foods with this medication . Chicken and fish and veggies plus working out.. they said it is suppose to help with the weight and if any acne.. well i dont have a menstrual cycle either. for about 5 years now.

good luck
