Want to get Pregnant

[Reii1408]

Hello, I went to my local OBGYN in March due to not having my period since August. I got my blood test done and pregnancy test done and everything came out good but got prescribed metformin, progesterone, and 3 month supply of Tri-Sprintec for a regulation of my period. I am on week 3 on my first pack of birth control as i already finished the 12 prescribed progesterone pills that i had to take and still on my supply on metformin. Now my question here is, my husband and want to get pregnant what should i do?

Yeah that i know just what i don't understand is the birth control pills part of it. What i have read online is that if you miss a few pills or what not you can get pregnant at anytime but don't you have to have a period in order to get pregnant?

Metformin is an anti-diabetes drug. Yes it can help regulate your menstrual cycles which in turn may help you to get pregnant if you are on a regular cycle,  but it should onky be prescribed if you have pcos otherwise it can harm your body. It doesnt help you to increase your fertility levels or help you get pregnant. X

Really? when i went to the ob gyn she told me i had pcos too which gave me all this medication to regulate my period, but of course my husband and i want to try to get pregnant. I still don't understand though even if i don't have my period and get off birth control i can get pregnant? and knowing your taking metformin i take it 3 times a day 500mg. did you have your period once u conceived or how does that work?

I'm not really sure what those meds do but if you want to have a baby then don't take any kind of birth control. However, before doing so I would talk to your health care provider just to be safe and sure.... I wish you the best of luck and if you want or need to talk or have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. :)
