I've been on Metformin for several years for PCOS. I also didn't have any side-affects at all. My doc also started me on a low dose and I built up over a few weeks.
Unfortunately it didn't help me lose weight, I have done that myself recently with damn hard work!!! Sadly, I haven't gotten PG either.
I guess the best piece of advice I could give you is ... don't wait for a miracle. Work hard on losing some weight as this will make your chances of getting PG and staying PG a lot higher.
I am a Metformin success... I was diagnosed with PCOS a month after having an Implanon removed (2 bars used over 6 years) I was started on Metformin on the 5/10/08 and AF arrived on the 14/10/08. My first cycle was annovulatory and 35 days long, my second cycle was ovulatory and also the cycle when I fell pg (we are due in September 2009).
I did lose a little bit of weight whilst on Metformin but it is hard to say whether it was the Metformin or the hard work I was putting in at the gym.
Thanks MsPink and Tk.
I am getting alot of mixed success's with metformin. Hopefully I am like you TK and get a success.
I am definatly trying to lose weight without metformin and in the last 7 weeks have lost just over 10 kilo's which I am extreamly happy with. I would still like to lose anoth 20 though and have given myself until May to acheive this as this is when we are going to start again with IUI.
A big congratulation TK on you pg as I know last time I was on we did the 2ww
together.
I have just got home from the dr and he thought it was a great idea for me to start metformin. I actually got a bit of a shock when he weighed me cause I have lost another 2.2 kilos in the last 2 weeks. so go me!!!!
I will let you all know how I'm going on the metformin but for those that did lose weight how much did you lose????
Also I might change my ticker to the weightloss one
