Common Questions and Answers about Metformin and pregnancy success

glucophage

Avatar f tn I am just wondering if any women have PCOS and have conceived, and how the pregnancy is going? I have been trying for 4 years with no success and I am starting to get a little depressed since I have pretty much ovulated with every month of meds.. the other thing is I can not keep track of my ovulation and periods because I am so irregular, any suggestions on how to be able to know when you ovulate without having to buy test every month.
Avatar f tn Hello, The primary fertility problem with PCOS is the lack of ovulation. Glocophage/ metformin and fertility medicines like Clomid are often prescribed in PCOS. You can go in for IVF also. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Last month I did my first round of clomid 50 mg and no success on pg but I did ovulate on day 16 so my OBGYN upped my dosage to clomid 100 mg! Me and my husband want a baby really bad! I know I will have one in God's time! I miscarried in early 2009. we tried for a long time on our on then I decided to go to a specialist. I was put on Metformin 1500 mg and Prometrium 200 mg. There was no success on just that so I was then put on the clomid, estradiol and progesterone cream.
4067667 tn?1349533022 Hi, Im new here. Im 22 years old and been ttc naturally for a year didnt success. A few months ago went to gyno to for hormone check up and have my hubby checked his semen. He was normal, but doc found out that Im not ovulating. I also diagnose of PCOS when I was 18. So, my doc gave me clomid 50mg to help me ovulate and on day 21 I was asked to check my progesterone, but Im still not ovulating. Now my doc dose up my clomid to 100mg and she also gave me metformin. Im hoping to get pregnant.
Avatar m tn I also have pcos and i tried clomid and 2000mg of metformin. It didn't not work for me for pregnancy so I have to see a fertility specialist which put me on injectables and i produced a bunch of follies so i did ivf and just found out I'm pregnant with twins.
Avatar f tn I have pcos as well and have never had regular periods. With my first child, I was taking metformin and using ovulation kits. I am now pregnant with my second child. This time I tried clomid (with no success) then switched to letrozole. I was about to go back to taking metformin, but found out I was pregnant. It is very difficult when you barely ever ovulate. Good luck!
4067667 tn?1349533022 yes clomid 100 mg plus metformin 1500mg per day may work with success rate 20% per cycle . i hope you to be pregnant soon . PCOS is a simple disorder but need close monitore to check dose versus response .
Avatar f tn too much sugar Wcan cause baby to gain too much weight. I had an ok pregnancy and my daughter is beautiful and amazing. Congrats .take it easy and try not to.stress just enjoy the pregnancy.
1444516 tn?1285937931 I have just been started on metformin three times a day. The only side effect that I had form serophene was mood swings and some hot flashes. I had no symptoms on 50mg a day but these symptoms occured when my dr increased my dose to 100mg. I still am not pregnant, level of success depends on too many factors to be able to predict this axccuratly.
1512722 tn?1313697879 Hey ladies i just started Metformin today! can i get some stories of bfps using it? or just you experience on it?
623922 tn?1223406991 I am on Metformin, Clomid, Ovidrel and had my IUI done 11 days ago and am waiting 5 more days to find out the results. I was just curious how yours worked out.
Avatar f tn I am very new to this type of thing, but I do find that reading pregnancy success stories from other women who have PCOS, really helps me to cope with the fact that I have fertility issues. I am on my second round of 50mg of clomid and Im also taking Metformin. Are there any women who have successfuly conceived on Clomid and how many rounds did it take?
Avatar f tn i got a regular 28cycle period when i became active attending gym everyday and a healthy diet, for a year i was always getting my period every 28 days but when i stop attending gym and ate again my period became very irregular again. 2004 i was diagnosed with PCOS, was given provera and advised to have metformin. i got menstruated but still irregular, i did'nt continue having metformin as i felt dizzyness everytime im taking it. Now that im 36 i wanted and decided to get pregnant.
Avatar m tn I'm 37 and been trying to get pregnant for almost a year now without success. My doctor put me on Metformin. And I have been taking it for 3 months. My period is couple days overdue now. Not to be disappointed again, I have not taken a pregnancy test yet. I am wondering, if I do get pregnant this time, should I stop taking Metformin. Is it safte to take Metformin after pregnant? Will it cause any harm to baby? Thank you very much!
Avatar f tn Iv lost all hope and been put on metformin the past week any success story's
Avatar f tn My suggestion would be o o see a fertility Doc or ask your family doc to do some blood testing to see if your Blood sugar is up and get that controlled and hopefully that will help with weight and fertility. Wishing you the best of luck and sending lots of baby dust.
Avatar n tn i had to take clomid(10rounds)(fell pg twice)+ metformin for about a yr and few months... i was 85kg and lost upto 62kg.. putting me in normal BMI.. my doctor suggested i still need to loose enough so it wont come back... healthy diet and good exercise will help her conceive more quickly...
1442873 tn?1284246187 I would recommend that you continue with the metformin and work very hard with exercise and healthy diet (lower carb diets usually work best for people with PCOS) to get down close to your ideal weight. Losing weight is also a very effective way to increase fertility. If you have managed to get your weight down and fitness increased and you're still not successful, then will be the time to get some assistance.
Avatar f tn Tamoxifen and gonadotropins are other drugs which can help women with PCOS to get pregnant. The pregnancy rate is about 15 per cent in patients with PCOD taking Clomiphene, but success depends on the length of treatment and other factors. It varies woman to woman. Technically, it only requires one sperm cell meeting up with a woman's egg cell to cause pregnancy. There are number of factors which play a role in fertilization and it varies in every case.
780153 tn?1287568947 I saw another Doctor who prescribed me Metformin about 13 months ago. I always had irregular mentrual periods and with metformin and hardly ever had periods. I ended up taking Birth control just for two months ( actually this year on January 2009) But on the middle of February I decided to skip half of the birth controls and decided not to take them. I still was and am in Metformin till this day. Recently on March 30, 2009 I was rushed to the E.R because of a very discomfort abdominal pain.
1702722 tn?1307308558 I was on metformin 1500mg for about 8 months before I got pregnant. But my first cycle with clomid and metformin and IUI I got pregnant. The metformin made me ovulate more (3 follicles) so I think it upped the chance. I used clomid and metformin w/o IUI and had no success. I'd give the metfomin a few months before you try something new - it will start working!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with pcos 2 years ago and was trying to start a family with my husband. We tried so hard and I even started taking metformin to try and get my insulin balanced and still no luck. I was very surprised to find out I was pregnant on Valentine's day this year. I was so worried I would lose this baby and honestly kinda prepared myself for it.. I am now 31 weeks 4 days with a healthy baby girl.
Avatar f tn However it is necessary to confirm the patency of fallopian tubes to ensure success. Can be taken for 2 to 3 months and then reviewed if no results. Consult an infertility expert in case of difficulty. Hope this helps.
