dosage of glucophage for pcos

can i use another method to get pregnant fast or which things or activity youthink will be good for a PCOS girl to get ovulation back. do u think glucophage is helping drug for making eggs healthy and regular ovulation.

If you go to any website on infertility or pcos it will discuss the use of Metformin. I have been on Metformin for pcos and have been on it for one year. It has corrected my FSH & LH levels and helped me to lose 25 lbs without hardly trying. The Metformin sensitizes the cells to insulin therefore lowering the body's production of insulin, which also then reduces androgen production. Once this happens, ovulation often resumes. I beleive that this is particular with pcos conditions.

I have PCOS too. I was diagnosed with it about 8 years ago. In dealing with my PCOS I've found that there is nothing predictable about it. At the heart of the matter, PCOS is an endocrine disorder, which basically means it messes with your hormones big time. It actually goes a LOT deeper than that and is something which I cannot fully explain because I just don't fully understand it. Nor do any of the experts so how can we?

(3) Glucophage appears to do the same for non-obese PCOS women, according to a study from the University of Medical Sciences in Poznan, Poland. Thirty nine PCOS women were given Glucophage for 12 weeks. They had improvements in insulin, testosterone, hirsutism and acne. (4) PREVENTION OR DELAY OF ONSET OF DIABETES. Glucophage may help to prevent diabetes, according to a study at George Washington University.

I used birth control pills for a year of which i had a regular cycle. I stopped using the pills after i got married and my cycle became very irregular. Since then, i've been unable to conceive. Any time my menstrual cycle becomes regular and i have sexual intercourse with my husband,menses ceases for months until i take some drugs that would be prescribed by the doctor.

Get some tests done and if they confirm its PCOS they might put you on metformin and that has got regular periods to some of PCOS women. Have you seen a doctor for this reason. Dont neglect your health. There might be complications in future. And yes it will not be easy to conceive if you have PCOS. See a doctor.

and metformin for the last 7 months. I have been on clomid for two months now and of course I still havent ovulated. I am hoping my dr will up my dosage. Thanks for the help.

Last year her insulin level was 25 but now even when she has started taking Glucophage 3 times a day with the dosage of 850 mg. her insulin level has increased to 35 this year. She doesn't know what to do. Currently from june 2010 sheI has stopped taking both the medicines. Glucophage and diane. Her doc is writing her hundreds of tests from the well known and very expensive laboratory here and I can't seem to afford them and her high fees everytime. Please help me what to do?

HI, There is no specific vitamin as a treatment for PCOS. However if you are trying for a natural pregnancy then folic acid can be taken. Weight loss gives dramatic results in women who are obese. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation. Hope this helps.

Metformin is quite a standard treatment for PCOS. If this is the reason you were given metformin I think it would be a good idea to give it a go for at least a few months. I personally know a few women who had great success with regulating their periods on metformin (1 got pregnant on it). Hope this helps.

My doc say that I have PCOS, irregular periods ( from childhood), metabolic syndrome and other symptoms. It's seems to be hereditary. She prescribed Glucophage, and I took 2 tab each 500 for a year. Did not cure me, infact I felt worst. I also have high cholesterol, but don't eat meat and jog 3 miles almost 5 times a week. I am prediabetic and very likely to get heart disease stroke and other fatal complications as I grow older. Please advise me how to cure PCOS.

I went to my OBGYN and we figured out that I was not ovulating every month so we did Clomid for 3 months and I ovulated 2 of the 3 times. The OBGYN refered us to an RE. Both my husband and I had all the testing including semen analysis (normal), I had the tube test (normal) all the blood work (normal), ultrasounds (normal) so the plan was to do Clomid days 3-7 then one shot of Menopur and then Ovidrel to trigger after ultrasound to see how many follicles I had.

My DH and I have been ttc for over 2 years. I have been diagnosed with mild PCOS and mild endometriosis. I've been through one unsuccessful fresh and frozen ivf cycle. Because I can't afford to go through another round of ivf right now my gyn prescribed 500mg of Metformin to help with ovulation. I know that I ovulate but she thinks the Metformin/Glucophage might help me. Has anyone been on Metformin that can tell me what to expect?

What are the odds of getting pregnant when one suffers from pcos??? and how will you know when is the right time to have sex, since i dont have regular periods??? plz plz help somebody?????

Any feedback on this would be much appreciated. Ive been on glucophage and femara and ttc for 12 months with no luck. My period was due 4 days ago but instead I had a reddish/brown light discharge The day my period was due . This lasted a day or so and now have a very light creamish discharge for last 2 days. No sign of my period. I haven't done a test this month as I really don't want to be looking at another negative.

My dr did not really bother doing blood tests, and i did not know how serious this could be(pcos). I went today for another u/s, b/c of BAD pain in left ovary. Well I saw why! I still have all those cysts, plus a HUGE looking one on left ovary. it hurts tosit even.The lady was nice enough to giver me a view of the screen. She also was very helpful, and said- it's definatly pcos.

i am on clomid too cos of pcos. I have been on rounds of clomid, never got to work for me but there are lots of women on here that got there BFP using clomid. So don't give up, who knows, it might work for u.

I was diagnosed with PCOS early this year and started taking Glucophage in January of February. Like you, I started on 500mg once daily, and quickly increased it to 500mg twice daily. I had a period within a couple of months, but by July of August I had become more regular than ever. I now have a period every 5 weeks without fail. I hope that answers your question!

I have since been dianosed with PCOS and undergoing treatment with glucophage/metformin. I am also being treated for hypertension. Since the treatment for the PCOS began, my breakouts with the Scleritis have decreased. However, when I'm not taking the metformin, I almost immediately get scleritis attacks. Does anyone know if there is a connection with the two? Also is there a way to remove the swelling in the white of my eye? it is lingering longer than usual and my vision is affected.

ve read that a lot of women with PCOS are able to conceive naturally as long as they are having some periods and ovulate (even if it is irregularly). It's almost impossible in my case (also PCOS) because I NEVER have periods, and, therefore, never ovulate... and, of course, no ovulation, no chance of fertilization.

Hello, Most women with PCOS don't ovulate and thus cannot become pregnant. So the first treatment option for infertility is usually the administration of drugs to induce ovulation like Clomid. Secondly Glucophage or Metformin is an insulin-sensitizing agent that is sometimes used in conjunction with Clomid. Other than that, Injectable HCG, Hmg, FSH, GnRH and assisted reproduction like IUI, IVF, GIFT AND ICSI may also be used.

So the first treatment option for infertility is usually the administration of drugs to induce ovulation like Clomid which you have already started . Secondly Glucophage or Metformin is an insulin-sensitizing agent that is sometimes used in conjunction with Clomid. Please discuss this treatment opton also with your doctor. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Your husband seems to be experiencing hypoglycemia and his doctor should be notified immediately.

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary symdrom. According to my MD a small dose of Glucophage can help with PCOS (this medication is more often used for diabetes, in bigger doses). He recommended I take it because I was not able to get pregnant anymore after my last miscarriage, and as I had nothing to loose I took it ... funny thing is yes I did get pregnant 3 months after starting the Glucophage but my OB-gyn does not think I ever had PCOS....
