Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn You need to discuss it with your Endo and OBGYN. They will tell you. I got pregnant with my 2nd child with an A1c of 7.7. We got my A1c to 5.0 in a month. Anything is possible so talk to your doctors and keep up the hard work! You are doing awesome!
Avatar f tn I try to not stress and just go with it but after watching friend after friend become pregnant again I can't help but become depressed about it. Since we've been trying for so so long, I feel selfish over it too but I'm happy for them most of them are good parents some sadly should be having anymore but that's not my business. I know some people have different things that helped them like certain foods, pills, positions, timings, etc... What has helped or did worked for you?
Avatar f tn do u know when will i get a positive hpt? i have pcod and i am takin metformin 1000 twice a day. was expecting periods on 23 feb and got negative hpt on 26th. did a transvaginal scan on 28th and doc says i am not pregnant. till when should i wait to get a positive hpt if i am preg? Doctor asked me to wait 1 week and if i dont get positive HPT, he asked me to take clomid. I have read Clomid may result in autism in babies. Is it true? What are the side effects of clomid on baby?
Avatar f tn My husband and I were devastated because we read all the bad stuff and wanted kids. They put me on metformin to regulate my hormones and it actually helped give me periods which must of helped me ovulation. After a year on it we got pregnant. My pregnancy was fine and my ob was not even concerned the entire time that I had pcos. Now 2 years later I am pregnant with my second. I think once you get pregnant it kinda corrects all the pcos issues because it was like ok we want another and bam!
Avatar n tn I dont see any symptoms of being pregnant. Im worried as to when i will get pregnant??what is to be done to get pregnant??
Avatar f tn My friend has PCOS and is taking metformin. She got pregnant this month after not being able to for years. She also had the dizziness when taking metformin. She found out last month that when you take the metformin you have to be on a low carb intake for it to work efficiently.
Avatar f tn Congrats on your pregnancy. You need to phone your doctor to let them know and to see how long they will keep you on Metformin. Some doctors keep you on it thru the first trimester and others don't.

557911 tn?1225980644 I was just diagnosed with PCOS this morning and the doctor gave me 3 months worth of Provera. He told me to start on cycle day 12 and take it for 10 days, and BD days 12, 14, and 16. Has anyone been successful with this method? I really want it to work, but I haven't heard of doing this before. I always hear about Clomid and Metaformin, but not Provera. Any advice?
594189 tn?1386916607 So I have been trying to get pregnant since my last miscarriage 04/07, then I stopped having AF for awhile after that, 09/08 they told me I have PCOS and put me on metformin, I weighted 377 than, now I just found out I'm pregnant and weigh 323 and still on metformin but all my blood work is looking great, Just wanted to give others with PCOS some hope. My friend also has PCOS and did the same thing as I did and she now has twin 3 month olds.
1464956 tn?1286204957 Metformin in those who have PCOS can help to REDUCE the chances of m/c...look it up. Why do you think when a woman falls pregnant who has PCOS they take Metformin up till their 12th or 20th week? Because it helps in those who have PCOS reduce the chances of m/c. I would say, if your doctor wants you to wait 3 cycles then you should. He probably wants your body adjusted to Metformin first and in which it can help with your period become a bit more normal.

Avatar n tn I spoke with my doc and he started me on metformin and povera. I stopped taking metformin after about a month because the tummy problems never went away! (sorry TMI ) Well I used provera from sept 2010 - May 2011 and did not ovulate once even with 3 of those months including Clomid. Provera does not make you ovulate it just induces a period, metformin lowers your insulin and clomid is for ovulation. Clomid doesn't work for everyone.
Avatar f tn I am also diabetic and i was put on metformin my cycles were also irregular i have been on metformin for 5mths and now my cycles are regular i got pregnant last mnth but had a miscarriage so yes it is very possible im hopin me and my hubby concieve after this cycle so good luck and baby dust to you hun!!
1843973 tn?1326131704 I was trying for 2 years but only seeked help 6 months prior to getting pregnant. I stayed on metformin (1500mg) for my first trimester even though I had horrible morning sickness. Never missed a dose. In your case you clearly can conceive you should really look into why your not keeping the pregnancies. Best of luck to you. And im so sorry for your loses.
1432700 tn?1283373750 I am 25 weeks pregnant with pcos, i was taking metformin(diabetic med) to keep my insulin level down plus i lost like 60 pounds before getting pregnant, it took 18 months on metformin and losing weight at the beginning of that than i got pregnant. With no other meds. I did have to take progesterone during the beginning of the pregnancy so I would not lose the baby. I took the progesterone till the second trimester started.
