I have been on metformin 1000mg per day since August of 2004. The dr said I would be pregnant in six months. Well I got pregnant 3/05 and had a mc on 5/05. Then I tried for another 2 yrs when I got pregnant again 2/07 then had another mc 4/07. They lower my metformin to 500mg per day. Since then I left my fiance and have started a new relationship (9months now). We have been trying for about 7 months. So in the beginning of August I went back to a OBGYN and told them I want to get pregnant. So she did some blood work to check my levels (i also have hypothyroid and I'm on 150mg of synthroid per day) and gave me a pelvic us. While waiting for the results to come back, AF came on 8/13. So when I went back for my results all of my tests came back completely normal. She raised my metformin back to 1000mg per day and gave me enough clomid to last me for 3 cycles. Well I am on a 40 day cycle so AF should have came back on 9/22 and here it is 10/6 and still no AF. I have take 3 hpt's (including 1 this morning) they are all BFN's. I don't know what to do. I just want a family and I feel like it's never going to happen. This is the first time my period has been late in over a year. I don't know whats going on. I was so excited to start my clomid this month, then I got excited because I thought I got pregnant naturally. Well guess not. Has anyone ever had a false negative being 2 weeks late?? I HATE PCOS!!! :(

i have been on metformin for a year at 1500mg per day and still nothing. My biggest fear is maybe I should just give up on my dream of having a big family and just go with what i have now. How bad is your PCOS. maybe my doctor misdiagnosed me or something. Although i have been to 10 doctors and they all same thing but maybe there is something else wrong.

I know of women getting pregnant as soon as a month after starting metformin. Good Luck!
