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 I am 8 week pregnant an a1c 7.2 just taking metformin to control my daibetes .
Avatar f tn 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! 2 weeks later we conceived. So it can happen! Ask your doc about all your options and maybe consider metformin.
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 I fell pregnant last yr but ended up with mc i was taking clomid and metformin. It took me 6 rounds of clomid. I m pregnant again with 4th round of clomid and metformin. In two yrs time i changed my diet lost nearly 25kgs. Put myself into normal bmi. Moved out into my own house. Relaxed myself. This all helped. I always recommed my friends n family never wait too long to start fertility treatment. Because older u get harder it become.
1464956 tn?1286204957 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.
1512722 tn?1313697879 Metformin is the most amazing drug, it's the reason I'm pregnant. It helped me lose 20lbs and ovulate!! I ovulated on femara but didn't get pregnant thus month I took only my 1500mg of metformin. I've been on metformin since October at 1500mg and never missed a pill. If you stick to it and exercise it could get you pregnant. I just did yoga/pilates I heard it was good for fertility and only started it this cycle and got pregnant. Good luck to you!!
1461521 tn?1285862732 There are so many women on this website that has pcos and had success in getting pregnant. Some naturally and some with clomid metformin or femera metformin combos. Have you had a HSG test? This will help to see if your tubes are blocked. Some women with pcos even became preg after having this procedure done. I cant believe that Dr told u that!! I had one doc tell me to loose weight and it will happen and I was pissed for that cause if it was that easy I would be a size 6!!
Avatar f tn Thank you, I wS diagnosed with pcos a year ago and was on metformin for 8 months before getting pregnant, I thought I could never concieve as well. Your reply makes me feel a little better.once again thank you.
594189 tn?1386916607 I weigh 342 pounds and having issues getting pregnant anyone else with that weight, pcos and issues getting a baby?
Avatar f tn HI, Pregnancy is not impossible in women with PCOS. With proper treatment conceiving will be possible. Metformin and clomid both are good drugs. Metformin will help normalise your hormones and clomid helps with induction of ovulation. This can be taken for 3 to 6 months. If there are no results then you will need further evaluation and treatment by an infertility expert. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
1512722 tn?1313697879 t remember exactly how much I lost). Anyway I ended up getting pregnant that cycle and got my BFP on February 13, 2009. My baby girl is 17-months now! I took progesterone the first trimester with her as my previous miscarriage was due to low progesterone and we wanted to prevent another M/C (that miscarriage had been my second one). With PCOS you have to monitor your hCG and progesterone, especially if you use Clomid to hopefully decrease the risk of miscarrying.
788199 tn?1236611657 metformin does not only control ur insulin levels it is also a fertility med but even though it helps with fertility ur doc may give an additional fertility drug if u have had no succcess getting pregnant with metformin. u shud also keep in mind that blood test is way more fool proof than a urine test so if AF hasn't *** already a doc visit may be in store. good luck!! u can drop me a message if u have any questions, i will try to help.
Avatar n tn s possible to get sore boobs while taking metformin and secondly if i am pregnant (which i doubt) what damage would the Hysterosalpingogram do to the developing cells?
1304588 tn?1299071471 I suggest you let your practitioner know before getting pregnant..
Avatar f tn I guess once it adjusts to your body you might feel better. Also, there are good chances of getting pregnant while taking clomid with metformin.
1657208 tn?1404165128 I was wondering if there is a chance I could get pregnant on it.. I have been trying to conceive for 2 years now. I had stopped taking metformin for awhile because of my stomach hurting when I took it and now I am on 1000mg a day. Any advice is much appreciated. Do you think it will work or what should my next step be?
1907238 tn?1340711313 the doctor gave me pill but not metformin..im wid my husband for almost 4years but im not getting pregnant yet..pls help me if its ok to take metformin without dr advice..
233562 tn?1282768382 Women with PCOS that are taking metformin, have a greater chance of getting pregnant. Don't stop taking the medication if you become pregnant, unless told so by your doctor. Contuining to take metformin even after you conceive, helps to prevent miscarriage in the first trimester. Metformin helps lower blood sugar and treat insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
Avatar f tn I am scared that something may happen along the way, i was diagnosed with pcos before getting pregnant and was on metformin and birth control. My dr suggested i stayed on the metformin combined with prenatals. Has any one had problems due to pcos?

393893 tn?1283551230 Hi ladies. have any of you ever had to take metformin? I have been on it only a week now but my body is doing weird things and it is a bit unsettling. At first I thought what I was experiencing was normal but I was researching metformin on line and it said if you have any of these certain symptoms to get emergency medical attention right away because it can be life threatning. It named off many side effects that were normal and were not normal. I had both.
5649354 tn?1371748381 I have PCOS and they put me on Metformin awhile ago and added the synthroid shortly after. I am currently take clomid to try and help but if it doesn't IUI is my next option. I have no children yet but I am trying my best to get there. Good luck and hope it all works out for you.
