Congratulations,
I too am another PCOS sufferer with insulin resistance and a very proud mummy to 3 miracle bubs.
While they took a while to get here , they still came and i love them dearly.
Best of luck with your pregnancy
Congratulations Mitzy! That gives me hope. A year ago an endocrinologist said I wouldn't be able to get pregnant without IVF and that because I'm relatively thin, metformin would do nothing for me but my new awesome PCOS-expert gyno is so happy with how metformin's working for me (have had 2 AFs since February, and before that had nothing for 7 months!), he told me to send him a photo in a year of my baby because he thinks I'm good to go and don't need him anymore. I hope he's right!
Thanks ladies. I am off to have my dating u/s tomorrow, when I had the blood tests they said I was about 4wks, so we think I am 10wks, but will be confirmed tomorrow.
Beetle to answer your question, I saw an Endo about 2yrs ago regarding weight loss and a few other things, and she told me 1 metformin a day, and that was what my GP prescribed me about 3yrs ago, so I figured if Endo said continue on, I would. So the FS said to me 'why are you taking 1 tablet a day, that isn't enough to do anything except give you a mild tummy upset' and he said that I would need to triple it to make any difference So I stopped taking it that day! (his advice)
I was also taking Vitex. When I started taking it, 2wks later I got AF and then about 2months later find out I am preg, so I wonder if that helped aswell. It has all happened so fast considering nothing for so so long.
Good luck to all of you girls, like so many people said to me 'it will happen' and I shrugged it off, I do believe it will happen to you all also. xoxox
