Hi there,
I have hust been diagnosed with PCOS after TTC for the past 9 months. My cycles have been all over the place. The doc has put me on Metformin 3 times a day. I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to do and if it is successful. He is also going to start me on clomid when I see him next. Can anyone tell me how successful these two drugs are?
Also I have heard that losing weight can make a big difference...has anyone has success with just losing weight?
wlecome- and join the met clomid thread. my cycles were the same and i had to beg my doc for for met cause i wasn't overweight and still young for ttc. so i went on it and it reg my cycles in a couple of months went form 60-90 days to 30 days. it helps to adjust your insulin levels which relsuts in less cysts.
i concieved all babies with met clomid so i'll be sending you all the baby dust!!
I am new to all of this and by all of this I mean the forum and having just being diagnosed wih PCOS (Nov 08) after ttc since March 08 and having a lap to look for endo in Nov 08. I have just started on Metformin on Sunday (day 3) I was prescribed 500mg once a day but I am worried about the side effects so I have started off taking 250mg once a day to ease onto the Met (I am hoping this is a good idea?)
I have also started on a low GI diet aswell and regular exercise, although I am not overweight I have put on about 6 kilos since coming off the pill in Aug 07.
I am hoping I have started on the right path with the Met and I am going on Clomid if nothing happens over the next month. This is all so overwhelming and the want to have a baby just intensifies with each passing month,
