1546050 tn?1293688410 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Treatment will depend on your symptoms and desire for child bearing. Weight loss is the best natural treatment for PCOS. Birth control pills can be taken for menstrual irregularity. If you have a problem conceiving then your gynaecologist will be able to help you. Basic problem in PCOS is hormonal and because of an-ovulation. Hope this helps.

Avatar n tn 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.

256553 tn?1258883918 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.
Avatar f tn I have pcos and have had cramping, bloating, and pain for over a week. last period in June, pregnancy test neg. what could cause all this?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn a year later(i was 19),i consulted a endocrinologist n after blood test and scanning,he confirmed that i was having PCOS.he prescibed glucophage for a month n asked me to watch my diet n exercise regularly.i followed his advice n started losing weight,two months later i got my period n that was it for that year.demotivated,i gradually stopped everything..

Avatar n tn I just need some guidance on what to do next. I have also been tested for PCOS and my insulin resistence tests both times were within normal limits although I do have some symptoms of PCOS, but the RE said that I don't need to worry about that because there is no problem with that. Please give us some advice as to what to do next. Thanks in advance.
623922 tn?1223406991 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?
Avatar n tn yes, check if you have pcos. you should be tested for this and not have your doctor assume a diagnosis as some do or dismiss. That is one sign (body hair) another is skipped/missed monthly cycles and weight gain that isn't easily lost. Your medication is a mask for pcos if that is what you have. If so you should be taking glucophage too.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi, I also have pcos i was diagnosed about 7 months ago, my husband and I have been ttc for almost 3 years. Are you on metformin? It regulates hormones and in some cases can help you get pregnant, it is not a fertility treatment so you should not have to wait a year. You should see a reproductive endocrinologist they can put you on metformin.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Have you had ANY blood work done yet or been put on any meds? I am on glucophage for the PCOS. I am also starting endometrium to help regulate my periods. I have not had a normal period since March 07. I have taken provera before, but never endometrium. I don't really know about meds to take to get rid of cysts or anything. I used to take Ibuprofen for the pain. You really should see Reproductive Endocrinologist. They are very knowledgeable in PCOS and how to treat it.
Avatar f tn hi i have pcos and am trying for a baby i have just took my last clomid tablet 2day for my first round and i want to know if any1 with pcos has got pregnat on clomid x x
Avatar f tn 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!
