Thanks, Belinda! It's been a tough road - metformin, clomid... all failed... then IVF and not to be able to transfer on the fresh cycle because I was badly hyperstimulated... and then our first FET worked!! It's still not real to me yet...
I hope more of the lovely ladies from here will be able to join us in PALTTC very soon.
Congratulations BW, such exciting news that you are preggers.....I am finally in the second half of the TWW and get my progesterone results tomorrow...
S many BFP's this month for the rest of us...

hi gals, just a question about metformin and pregnancy. i have pco, not the syndrome and after trying unsuccefully for months++++ and then suffering a miscarriage my gyn started me on metformin 2000mg xr. At the time he told me to take this whilst trying to get pregnant and then for the first 12 wks of pregnancy to help lessen chance of misscariage. Has anyone else been told this??? i was googling some further info on met formin and came across various articles that had different opinions on whether it should be taken when pregnant. Sometimes there is too much info out there, but i would hate to stop taking if it helped with misscarriage. My Fs is overseas on hols and i am sick of bombarding his receptionist with questions at the moment. I am due to HPT this week..... fingers crossed
I have heard the same thing regarding metformin... it does help reduce the chance of miscarriage and it quite safe to be continued up to 12 weeks.
I'm 5 weeks today after my first IVF transfer... and I'm sticking with the metformin!
One of my oldest and closest friends is an ob/gyn registrar - she checks all my meds for me against current literature and I'm assured that it's all ok... and my FS agrees.
thanks BW, i think its best to keep taking it too, it can take sooo long to get pregnant i would do everything i could to make it stick!!! thanks for the reassurance and a HUGE CONGRATS on you successful pregnancy - wishing you a very healthy and enjoyable 9 months - thanks again
