Avatar m tn After the marriage I have got an irregular menstrual cycle. I consulted a VOG and she asked me to have Metformin for a month along with Folic acid. Since I consume the Metformin , I have been having the periods with blood clots for 3 weeks continuously. I got scared and stopped the medicine. But the period is still there. What should I do?
1907238 tn?1340711313 ) you should also stop smoking (if you do) and stop or cut down on alcohol and caffine as all three can affect getting pregnant, good luck :)
Avatar n tn When I was taking it in the morning with the Metformin I would feel sicker. I started taking th folic acid with my metformin at night with dinner and would feel sick.
Avatar f tn Since i have PCO i had irregular periods... jan 2012 i consulted an IF specialist and was under medication with metformin and folic acid again.... 2 IUI cycles were performed in mar & apr 2012 both turned BFN :-( My IF specialist suggested me to take tubal patency to rule out tubal defects.... in jul 2012 tubal patency was done. at the same time she performed ovarian drilling and D&C. She suggested to try naturally for 3 to 4 months and no medication.

Avatar n tn it turns out that i have a clotting disorder.. so now take asprin and a lot of folic acid and b vitamins.. then will take heparin once pregnant again (hopefully!!!) good luck and my thoughts are with you!
Avatar f tn Well, I got my AF yesterday. :( BUT, it means that I had my period three months in a row for the first time in a year so I was excited about that. I am on metformin, but not birth control because we are TTC. I am exercising and eating right, plus taking a prenatal and extra folic acid. We have been trying for almost 6 months now. I am hoping that next month will be our month. Since I got my period 15 days after the ovulation test said I was ovulating do you think that I did indeed ovulate?
623156 tn?1322865851 Right now I am taking Prenatel, folic acid, vitamins C and E, chaste tree berry extract, and zinc along with Metformin as directed by my doctor. I really prefere the natural approach and hope this works for getting pg. Best of luck to you!
Avatar f tn Please keep in mind that at the calcium and the folic acid (and of course the prenatals) are vitamins, not drugs. Even though they are in pill form, they are not "meds," and would be good for you even if you were not pregnant. Folic acid is great for the heart, calcium for the bones, etc. So try not to lump them all together in your mind and convince yourself that you are taking a whole bunch of hostile drugs or something.
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 My bf and I had been TTC for 11 month with no success did 5 rounds of clomid no success well ladies this past Sunday I got my BFP at 14 dpo wanted to let u ladies now what I did different at the beginning of my cycle I did a 3 day cleanse I did soy isoflavones cd3-7 200 mg, metformin, folic acid, maca root 1000mg used opk and charted my temps this was my 2cycle doing bbt chart I would definitely recomend to anyone TTC
1553391 tn?1326997179 I also took a prenatal and folic acid. Just losing weight (if you are overweight with PCOS) can regulate you and cause your ovaries to ovulate again if they are not ovulating. I hate the "birth control cures all" cover that doctors give women. I'm glad you were able to get the medication you truly need. I hope it helps!
766872 tn?1240341112 I've been really bad about my consistency with taking the pre-natals. But this cycle I'm on track and making sure I take one every day (with food!). I also take extra Folic Acid, EPO and will be starting Mucinex after I'm done taking my last Femara pill. In addition, DH is taking 5 vitamins a day. After he runs out of his Men's One a Day multi-vitamin, I'm thinking of switching him to Geritol, but I still need to compare ingredients.
Avatar f tn I take a prenatal pill with 1mg of folic acid in it and 0.8mg extra folic acid, with folic acid, what your body dont use, you will excrete it out(the folic acid). I would not recommend taking extra vitamins like c d etc. without drs orders bcuz those vitamins are not easliy excreted out of body and can cause life threatning situations.
Avatar f tn My question though is that I have been taking a multiple vitamin, aloe vera gel pills, and folic acid pills. This is just to keep my body healthy and my immune system healthy so that my body can continue to fight off this HPV. my question is regards to the folic acid though is that am I taking to much? The multiple vitamin i take already take has 800mg of folic acid and than i take a regular folic acid pill that is 400mg. Am I consuming to much. If so will it cause any harm to my body?
Avatar m tn talk to your dr about it im sure its fine. i found out at 7 weeks my folic acid was really low and now take folic acid supplements plus my prenatal vitamin. my baby is just fine so far, and im 18 weeks.
Avatar f tn He said I only needed it for the first fifteen weeks that after that its useless to take
Avatar f tn Im six months pregnant and I really been skipping out on my vitamins because they make me gag so Ive been taking iron and eatin foods with folic acid in them to replace me dropping the pills but now I'm worried it's not enough and something's gomna b wrong with my baby when I have it , did any one else not take pills
Avatar f tn Switch to a prenatal vitamin the one take is a Costco brand which has folic acid and mine says before during and after baby and while breastfeeding :)
Avatar f tn So I'm 7 weeks almost 8 now and I only found out recently so I wasn't taking any pregnancy supplements or folic acid so just wondering if it's safe to start taking it now and if my baby will be okay even though I wasn't taking folic acid before
