question on metformin
 February 9th, 2005 10:10 AMReport

Hi. My name is Joanne. I have been on metformin for a week now, and I was just curious if anyone else has put on this med to get pregnant. If so, how long should it take to get pregnant while on it?

metformin is a diabetic drug and is not used for infertility. Both my OB and my R.E.told me it COULD help only if help is needed. There is a higher chance of pregnancy with it but not by much. I am on metformin as well. I was put on it because I could be insulin resistant and to see if it would help me in conceiving. My cousin was also put on it but to see if it would help her not produce so many eggs when she went through the infertility shots. It didn't help her much and she had to keep canceling her cycles because of to many eggs. Good luck

I have been on Metformin for a few months now after 5 long years of infertility. I have only been able to take 1000mg a day and I am trying to make it up to 2000mg. Just yesterday I went up to 1500mg. It tends to make me very nauseous. I have poor egg quantity and high FSH levels. I am praying Metformin will be my miracle drug! I have been thru many IUI's, 3 IVF's and 2 Laparoscopy's.

My doctor put me on Metformin in Sept and I took it for 2 months and nothing happened. I went to the doctors in the middle of Feb. and she put me back on the med's for 3 times a day which is 1500 mg. My doctor said I should be pregnant within 3 months. I hope so. I am so excited after 3 1/2 yrs of trying. If I take it everyday like I should I hope it works for me. How long Joanne have you been trying?
