TTC with PCOS and Metformin

[sangie]

Hi Brissie girl,

I went down the clomid road and thankfully it worked for us the first month I took it! I started on metformin first and that really helped get my AF regular as before that I would only get AF once every few months. I am not overweight or insulin resistant so getting regular AF was the only benefit of taking metformin. However I was still not ovulating so my specialist suggested trying low dose clomid for one month to see if that would make me O. Low and behold it did and DD was conceived that month. I was also one of the lucky ones to not have any nasty side effects from either the met or clomid.

Anyway just thought I would share my experience with you. I wish you the best of luck!!

Just to update you Eileen, my Preg Test results were not good. I actually had a miscarriage over the weekend which was devastating. Everyone says it is good in one sense because at least they know now that I am capable of becomming pregnant but now we have suspicions that our genetics could be playing a part in the fact that we only got 1 blast from 10 emby's and the 1 we did get miscarried. It is a very hard road. I have started back on the pill again though to prepare for the next grueling round of IVF. Hopefully next round will start in early Feb. Can't do anything at the moment as my OBY/GYN is on hols!
Congrats too lis on you pregnancy - that is wonderful news. Hearing the success story's gives hope when it is hard to see sometimes.
