metformin surgery

When I went to my woman wellness exam I told my doctor that my husband and I were having a hard time conceiving and that I have always been irregular with my menstral. She put me on Metformin and my question's are What effect will this have on me and my body as I am not diabetic and if I take this and get pregnant what effects may this drug have on the baby?

Hi, i can't take bc pills either, my doctor put me on metformin. like you i have high bp but i don't have periods without meds, other than that i don't fit pcos. ask your doc about metformin (glucophage), it made me feel a lot better. good luck.

I really want to lose weight and I know I gotta take the Metformin but it makes me very nauseous. The diarrhea I can handle but not the nausea, so I haven't been taking it. I see an endocrinologist Wednesday. I was wondering if there's an alternative to Metformin/Glucophage without the nausea side effects. If there's not how long does it take until you get used to the side effects?

It was actually the pre-surgery screening that caused the A1C test to occur. On top of that, for 10 days about 6 weeks ago I was on Prednisone. The docs seem to be discounting all that and believe the A1C still to be accurate. At the office, my first reading 2 hours after breakfast was 132. I've been testing upon waking, before dinner, 2 hours after dinner and getting: 105 or so waking, 95-100 before dinner, 130-135 2 hours after dinner. These all seem normal to me.

My ob/gyn told me I needed to choose between bc pill and ovarian drilling surgery to reduce the cysts on my ovaries. I chose to start with the pill. Did I make the right choice? I am 37, had 3 mc, 1 DD, and 1 ectopic all conceived on clomid.

i hv irregular periods.i took metformin first time on 14november on 15 nov i got my periods.i wanna ask u should i take metformin 1000mg a day during my periods? Or dhould i stop taking it. Its my second day of periods n i have only spotting. N also i wanna ask that should i take clomid with metformin together? From 3rd day of my periods? I have cysts on my ovaries so clomid is good for me to get pregnant or not becuase sone people told me nt to take clomid if u have polysystic ovaries.

Is your spelling correct? Colonoscopy is an exam using a camera. Colonostomy is major surgery involving abdomens, intestines, holes and plastic bags that need changing periodically.

im cathy i have my ultrasound result and it written there that i have PROBABLY PHYSIOLOGIC CYST at my left ovary..and my right ovary has polycysistic..at 1st my doctor said we will see for the next ultrasound after taking pills and mentformine but the next time i go to her clinic and she said there's a possibility i will under go surgery cause i felt abdominal pain...

My husband and I are ttc. Back in April of this year I had surgery to remove cysts from mybtube. I had been on depo since December of 14 and once I stopped august of 16 I never had a cycle. Long story short I had the surgery thinking that's why my cycle was non existent. Non the less I never had a cycle.. My on/gyn prescribed me a round of provera 10 day I had a cycle 3 days after stopping. But didn't have one the following month.

hi, im concerned about my results with my hsg test. are my chances still high to conceive if my results were clear of blockage from my tubes??? i was also wondering if talking clomid & metformin er will help with the process??? and how should i take metformin??? should i start clomid and metformin together or finish clomid and then start metformin??? is there a particular way to take the combo medication??? i really need to get this clear. im so confused! your help will mean the world to me.

Well I was diag with PCOS when I was 16. Was on Metformin for a while, but then had Gastric Bypass surgery..lost alot of weight...275+. I stop taking metformin because my docs were just not telling me to take it anymore. Well now I am married and TTC. Last year I got prego all by myself. Unfor. I m/c at 7 months. Now, I am eating healthy, walking on long walk with my dogs, and taking CARE OF MYSELF! I am on Metformin 500 mg BID(twice a day).

After the ectopic/surgery, I had another HCG that showed damage to the right tube-which I already knew from the lap surgery, but my left was still open, so we are able to try just with my left side. I do have blood work done to check my insilin levels. Bloodwork indicated I was insilin resistant so I started the met. About a month ago I had my levels checked and am no longer insilin resistant so the metformin is working.

whats the chances of conceiving on clomid and metformin with pcos. ttc for 2 years.

I took five rounds of clomid ( up to 150mg) and metformin and did not ovulate. So after having surgery I started with tamoxifen (pills) bc clomid is no good for me. But the tamoxifen didn't work very good either that's why I took follistim injections. My doctor had us do a postcoidal test, so we had sex sunday night and then went to my RE monday morning and he took a small sample of my cervical mucus to see how many sperm survived the night.

t think it had anything to do with the Metformin. The second time I got pregnant was with Metformin and Clomid, but it was a tubal pregnancy and I lost my left filopian tube. Turns out, Clomid may have actually caused the tubal pregnancy. There is a reason doctors don't just hand the drug out and your doctor probably knows what is best for your health. Just take it in to consideration. I wish I had known all the risks before taking it.

congratulations! i am pregnant with child 2 and have had PCOS, endometriosis and a bicornate uterus and cervix (2 of each). I was told by 3 ob/gyn and 2 family doctors it would be next to impossible to get pregnant without help. Just before child #2 I was taking metformin, it's a treatment that helps my PCOS, and what a family doctor recomended trying since nothing was covered for birth control, or any other medication under my insurance in the states. It was a preexsisting condition.

Definitley in the same boat. Its so depressing at times. I was given the option of clomid metformin or bc for x amount of months they stop bc and try to get pregnant. With metformin id advice you to ask your docotr to check your hormones (thyroid, th, fsh, blood insulin etc. Mie came out as my pancread pushed out more insulin then my doctor like (even though it was still in normal but "hugh normal") worst side effect i have with it is i am nausea.

I'm new to this forum. So I'll introduce myself. My name is Amanda. After nearly two years of not concieving and being devasted every month. I finally went to a doctor, not awhole lot happened. She tested my progesteron and told me I needed to have hubby checked. We got it all done and it seems everything was normal. No ideas or guidance. Just that's all we can do. I got word of a specialist thats really good at doing what he does. So Tuesday the 11th I had my first appointment.

i saw my gyno and he said i have pcos. he prescibed me metformin 850, ive been taking half a tablet for 10days every time with dinner. the next 10 days i take half a tablet in morning and half at dinner with food. im overweight so i hope il lose weight with metformin and wanting to fall pregnant. but i ve always had irregualr periods and im 25. Will i fall preganant and how long will it take me, is metformin enough or do i need clomid. im so confused i just want to fall pregnant..

I have PCOS and lately did a laproscopic surgery for that. I ovulate late and have heard if we ovulate late, the quality of egg is very low. Can somebody give suggestions to help me ovulate early?

Luckily my doctor is a fertility specialist as well, and she was able to perform the surgery 2 weeks after my diagnosis of PCOS. I would recommend the surgery to anyone TTC with a dianosis of PCOS.

It depends on your particular case as to how you will be treated. For instance, I take metformin and spironolactone. These two medications work by decreasing hormones call androgens. Decreasing these androgens will decrease the ovarian cysts, acne, and hirsutism. Metformin will decrease blood sugar as well. I have also just undergone surgery to remove cysts and had an ovarian drill to, as my doctor said, give my ovary a fresh start. I find out Monday if I will be put on birth control as well.

Before going on metformin my weight was 277. I was put on metformin seven months ago and things have changed alot for me I dont eat as much as I use too. I take 500 mg twice a day. I take at lunch and dinner. The weight seem to just fall off without me really doing anything like execrise. Before I was tested for being insulin resistanced I craved sugary foods like candy. I would buy bags and bags of candy, but once i started metformin all those cravings stopped.

How long have you been bleeding? Has your doctor prescribed Metformin yet? You might want to check into that.

I posted about this a few weeks back about Metformin and here is the whole article about it. It is very interesting that a diabetes drug has been found to combat cancer and HCV. There are probably many other drugs already approved that could also help different diseases if used "off label". Usually these things are found out by accident. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2010/nov2010_The-Drug-Virtually-Everyone-Should-Ask-their-Doctor-About_01.

Not all women with PCOS are overweight, but they say that women who are overweight have a higher chance of having this hormonal imbalence then women who are normal weight. But I have PCOS. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2007 lost about 275 pounds, and my AF came like clockwork. I was taking Metformin for my PCOS before my surgery, but after I stopped taking it. Bad idea! I started to gain some of my weight, and my AF stop coming.
