No Metformin is not for high prolactin level but for impaird glucose tolerance or hyperinsulinemia. You probably had your pituitary gland imaged with an MRI. Dostinex would help your hyperprolactinemia but would not necesarrily help you ovulate. You may have to take ovulation induction drugs like Clomiphene or injectable FSH like Bravelle to make an egg to ovulate. I presume that you are seeing a specialist in fertility called a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist.

The role of metformin in ovulation induction is well established, and several studies have demonstrated that women with PCOS are more likely to ovulate with metformin than with placebo alone.[2, 4] Therefore, women with PCOS often conceive while on metformin, and exposure during organogenesis is common. At present, metformin is classified as Class B in pregnancy, with no evidence of animal or fetal toxicity or teratogenicity.

HI, Induction of ovulation with clomid will give results in women with PCOS. However it is necessary to confirm the patency of fallopian tubes to ensure success. Can be taken for 2 to 3 months and then reviewed if no results. Consult an infertility expert in case of difficulty. Hope this helps.

I have heard that Metformin helps with ovulation. I have been taking Metformin for almost a year now for type 2 diabetes. If this is true, will the Metformin still help me with ovulation eventhough it is serving another purpose in my body?

Had gone to see the doc and told me I hv pco which he gave me metformin 500gm for 2 months after 6 months wnt to see the dr again he asked to do surgery for pco, bt I refused and gone to another dr she gave me again metformi 800gm for 3 months with pregecare 700gm. So I want to knw do I hv a chance to be pregnant or how long can it takes...

Metformin is highly known for it's help with ovulation with PCOS patients. F.Y.I., eat with your Metformin and don't take it late at night. Diarrhea is VERY common with this medication until your body gets used to it! Good luck on baby #2!

Symptomatic treatment for hirsuitism or induction of ovulation may be done as per the requirement. Consult a gynaecologist and an endocrinologist for an opinion. Hope this helps.

Hi I also have PCOS and is on Metformin and also just started a round of Gonal F. Thats is supposed to help with ovulation. The metformin does not make me sick anymore, I take 1 in the morning and 2 at night that way if I feel sick I wouldn't know cause I'm asleep. LOL and so far it has worked for me. I did also try clomid but it didn't work for me, and I wa taking Follisitim and that, I did make me ovulate and I had AF with out taking pills...

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. I have PCOS and I ovulate about the same time as you. I have had one miscarriage. I'm not sure when I ovulated with the baby that I miscarried because it was a surprise pregnancy. I know that I ovulated around CD18 with my current pregnancy and was able to sustain it this time. The last pregnancy, I discontinued using Metformin as suggested by my OB. This time (new OB) I stayed on Metformin.

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. Please discuss these treatment options with your doctor as they will help in conception.

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.

Hi ladies, I am on 1,000 mg of Metformin daily 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at night. I was diagnosed with PCOS this summer and have been on the medication ever since. The Metformin has been inducing my period but I am still having trouble conceiving. Also, I track my ovulation and I'm not always ovulating even with my induced period. I have been told that clomid is a better option for women in my circumstances. I spoke to my doctor and she's not willing to prescribe it for me.

) and you took metformin for ovulation and not to regulate your sugar for diabetes right?

If you are not planning to do IVF, then immediate ovulation induction/IUI after surgery is probably better before the endometriosis returns. I think Femara is a great choice for ovulation induction for women with endometriosis. Of course, you should discuss this with your own infertility doctor.

They are tiny and they surround your eggs, making none of your eggs able to mature enough to be released for ovulation. Birth control might be an option for maybe 3-6 months. Sometimes bc can help with those who have the cysts. And I would say because you are young, you have the time to get onto bc for 3-6 months to try and have your body "refresh" itself without further treatment. Also, if your not already on metformin...
