Hi Mrs P,
I was shocked the first time I was told I had PCOS. Even though I had suspected something was wrong, it's hard to hear it finally from someone else. I couldn't get my head around it for months! Am finally coming to terms with it and realising it's not the end of the world as I had imagined!! I'm assuming it's the same for you - being told that you need IVF. Look at it this way - it's just another way of getting you closer to your bubba. Wishing you success and sending lots of

Oh, and with the metformin, as BW had said, there is evidence it will help with the IVF and reduce chances of mc. You will get least side effects (diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset) if you take it with a meal. dinner is a good time. I found that I suffered more if my food had more sugar, carbohydrates or fat in it. The side effects lasted the first few days at each dose increase. I was prescribed 850mg twice a day. I started with half a 850mg tablet daily for 3 days and added half a tablet every 3 days (or until my side effects with that dose stopped) until I got to my max.

Good luck and looking forward to hearing your good news soon.
