Any PCOS women have success on Metformin and Clomid?

[Justine17]

I've been diagnosed with PCOS recently and will start Metformin and Clomid.  I've heard the chances of having a healthy pregnancy with these meds are 40% for PCOS women which isn't too bad but wish it was more like 80%  : )  Just wanted to hear any success stories to help cheer me up. Thanks

So, this is round 3 for me. I turned 31 on Nov.29th/2011
Failed on 50mg and 100mg of Clomid. Im on day 1 of provera then ill do 150mg clomid. I also have to go in for a glucose test and the Fertility specialist that I see is talking Metformin. I put on a good 75lbs this year after my surgeries/BC pills that didnt work.
1. I have Pcos, both ovaries covered.
2. I have one tube left (right)
3. Born with a cleft uterus fixed 6mo ago.
4. Multiple surgeries/D&C/Laps ect.
5. I have one daughter (10yo) A miricle child that dr's don't know how I had her. She grew in half a uterus but beat the odds and survived!
Ive been TTC ever since, but military dr's bounced me around so im seeing a Civ dr.for the first time, who is trying me on Clomid.
Im just feeling a bit down and wanted to share with yall.

I'm taking glocophage xr 1500mg/day and clomid 100 mg days 5-9. it got me ovulating and prolonged my cycle to a good duration of 31 days (15 days after ovulation). i have pcos and some issues with ovulation - nothing else seems to be the matter. i just wanted to give anyone who's reading a heads up: on clomid first cycle i had hot flashes and huge mood swings, and this cycle, which is my second, i had the worst headache of my life the first day of clomid. i am ok now (day3). i think it works though so hoping for the best.

I have had PCOS for years and never knew or understood why all these seemingly un-related things were happening to me. . I have all classic symptoms including obesity and diabetes, I have not had a period in years, excessive growth of facial hair, oily scalp, waking up looking like I am 6 months pregnant due to the bloating and fluids on my ovaries the whole nine yards. I decided not to let this be an excuse for anything and to regain control of my health and body. . After two months of exercising and losing 50 lbs, and taking Metformin during that time I am now beginning to have regular periods again. On my facebook friends list I have dozens of women that have PCOS and have had beautiful children and lead very happy lives, though they were once told they could not have children. I am currently single, so I have not began Clomid. The results I have had personally on Metformin have been amazing however. Of the dozens of women I referred to on Facebook, 14 have taken Clomid and 12 got pregnant successfully with that drug. I am no expert on anything, but am just relaying my personal experience with this.  My name is Miranda Spurling and if you feel as alone as I did in this you are more than welcome to become my friend on Facebook and connect with other women who are experiencing the same things we are. Just remember ladies, you are not alone. take care and best wishes to all.

Hello
I am 26 years old married for 11 months. I am obese and have been TTC since the first night with no success. I have been diagnosed with PCOS two weeks ago and it got me frustrated and sad. My doctor told to lose weight and actually told me that i have no hope to become pregnant until i lose weight. She put me on metformin. I didnt lose any weight yet but i am missing my periods. Its been 37 and no sign. I checked pregnancy test on 30 CD and it shows not pregnant. I have never missed my periods in 11 months and my cycle has been 29 days to 31 days maximum.

6 months ago, my husband has been diagnosed with low sperm count so our urologist put him on clomid. We have to see him in 2 months with the lastest semen analysis report. So he has low sperm count and i have PCOS. I want to have children so bad.. Because of this i stay unhappy most of the time. My husband is very loving but spend more time with his family and it really bothers me. I dont say anything to him but it hurts me. I feel as not having a child is the reason why i am not that important to him. Even though i know he loves me but this infertility issue is making me depressed and make me think wierd stuffs :(
