hi everyone,ive been trying for a baby for 5 years now,my fertility nurse as put me on 500mg of metformin,she said i should get pregnant on these,as anyone concieved on metformin alone.
Hi..need help and advice..im planning to take metformin without da dr advice but ive undergone transvaginal ultrasount and i have pcos..the doctor gave me pill but not metformin..im wid my husband for almost 4years but im not getting pregnant yet..pls help me if its ok to take metformin without dr advice..
I have reciently been diagnosed with PCOS. We have been TTC for 4 years. I am also very overweight & have iregular periods. I want to find out if anyone has used progestrone cream & what the sucess results are with using just metformin my doctor has prescribed 500 a day which i havent started yet.also im very confused about fertile dates & would like to know more cheers x
plz tell me i have pcos n done hsg n m taking metformin, n 1st cycle of clomid n will do trigger can i get pregnant m very much worried plz i need ur helpppp
i also had a eptopic 6 years ago,and they had to remove my right tube,but i got pregnant on my own then with out any fertility drugs,so i hope it works for me.
I was given metformin 500 mg ER (extended release) then moved up to 1000 mg after a week. I did get pregnant after the first month. It ended up being a tubal pregnancy but I did get pregnant on only metformin. My doctor has now added clomid to the mix because my progesterone levels were lower than they needed to be although I was having a regular period at 31 days. Take the metformin at night before you go to bed so if it causes any side effects you will be asleep for it!
have you got diabetes? usually if you ovulate your own then they should not put you on clomid. unless they think you are producing eggs but they are maturing to conceive. because at that stage i heard never seen it in written they give you clomid so they can produce strong eggs. Metformin is used either for PCOS or Diabetes. i was on metformin for almost year and clomid for 6 months only conceived once and ended up with MC. also if you are over weight they give metformin to help you reduce weight as well especially in PCOS. PCOS is never shown in blood test you need a good scan... :)
best of luck anyway... hope it works for you....

i have had all test done and they have all come back fine,im also ovulating on my own,after 4 months of being on these metformin my nurse is putting me on clomid with them,
It sounds like they think you have PCOS. Metformin is commonly used for that to regulate your cycles so that you can ovulate without any other drugs. I know I was on it for 6 months and it didn't work for me but my cycles were off from a bad miscarriage. They figure I should have had a D&C but they lost my referral to the OB so it wasn't done. I had a HSG and they think that cleared out whatever was remaining from the miscarriage. The following month I got pregnant. 17wks now.
Good luck!
Good luck!
