PCOS
After 6 years of trying to get pregnant and a life time of messed up cycles (only 4 periods a year) I was finally diagnosed with PCOS today. I am 25 years old and I have been married for 7 years. I must say the news was bitter sweet, I have been to 6 ob/gyns and 2 fertility spec. and had ultrasounds in the past and all the doctors said I was fine. This doctor just did an exam and said you have PCOS, I was in shock! He followed up with an ultrasound and blood work to confirm and he was right. The wierd thing is that I don't really have any other symptoms to PCOS other then inferility and missed cycles. My wieght is normal, I have thick hair, and no wierd hair growth, and my blood pressure is always normal. He wan'ts to try me on Metformin, but I am nervous about taking it (I am very careful about what I put in to my body) because of my anxiety disorder (yah I am a mess). Does this medication really help? Has anyone had any bad side effects?
Hi sweetie the metformin really does work for me it takes an affect different on everyboy if will get your cycle regular the anfter a few months of that see what happens. I am 27 and been on metformin for 4 month and I have had a cycle every month now me and my ob decided to be more aggresive so I will start clomid my next cycle. Just keep hope and continue to be patient. Baby Dust to you!!
I agree with Beckyw but it makes me sick to my stomach. But I had my galbladder removed so that takes a play into it also.
Best of luck.

Metformin is a pretty common first treatment for PCOS. I've been on it for 5 months now. It made my stomach pretty upset at first, but the doctor forewarned be of that. Ever since I started taking it, for the first time in my life I have a completely normal cycles, without being on birth control! I started my first round of clomid about 2 weeks ago and we shall see here soon if we managed to make a baby or not. I also have a friend who was on metformin 3 months, 1 round clomid, then 2 rounds of clomid with artificial insemenation... she got pregnant with twins on the last round. SO, I know for us the metformin has certainly helped.
Best of luck!
