Hi, I'm currently taking metformin to help me ovulate. I've only been taking it for 3 weeks. I take 3 pills a day at 500mg a pill. I also took provera to help me start my period then took serophene for 5 days. I'm not pregnant yet, but trying like crazy. The only side effect I've had by taking metformin is sickness. I feel sick just about all the time. I'm glad I found this site b/c it's really helped me understand this medicine and the effects on pregnancy it has. Good luck to all who are ttc!!! God bless :)

Hi there. I have a couple questions as well about metformin. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 3 years now...and no luck. We've been through many check ups and found out it's me, not him. I had a laparoscopy and found out I had endometriosis. They had thought I had pcos, but I don't. I don't have diabetes, but my dr put me on metformin, and I quit taking them cuz how sick I get. Question, does the sickness go away in time? Does it really help the chances in conceiving cuz it is so depressing seeing numerous neg preg tests. I am only 23 and wish it were easier to get pregnant just like the rest of you ladies. Thanks

I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and borderline PCOS. I have been on Metformin for the past 6 months and now I am pregnant...my gynec has asked me to continue with it through the first trimester...
It has been very effective in controlling my blood insulin levels and yes I used to have mild side effects but not anymore...
Good Luck

I started taking metformin on Sunday (1700) i feel so sick with it but i will perservere in order to see the light at the end of this tunnel. i was just wondering how long it will take.
I found out about my pcos acouple of months ago a year ago i conceived after 2 yrs of trying but miscarried at 5 mnths i'm soooooooooo desperate to conceive again. If the met doesn't work i have an appt for july and doc will put me on clomid.
I'm worried tho, if my cervix isn't strong enough to hold one baby and i get preg with twins on clomidd what will happen. I will feel blessed if the Lord wants to give me twins but i just hope i can hold them successfully.
I'm praying i can get pregnant on met alone as i don't even want to wait until July to statr clomid and also because of the worry. Anyone got any words of encouragment. Good luck and god bless to everyone!

Nadine, Hi there. I had just written a few days ago about metformin, but I do have a good update. I took 2 pregnancy tests on Mother's Day, and to my complete shock, they were both positive. I had to take 2 cuz I was in so much disbelief. I just couldn't believe it. My husband and I have been trying for 3 years, and I've had surgery to try to help me get pregnant, but it seems like right after I took metformin, and quit it, I got pregnant. I gave up after about 2 weeks cuz I got so sick being on it. But maybe it was enough to help me conceive, or maybe the good lord was watching over me and knew it was time. But good luck and keep us updated!

Donna i'm so happy for you, i hope if i continue taking it i can share your joy.
Fingers crossed for both of us and everyone else trying.
So did you not have a period?
What made you take the test?

Nadine, you see, I have always had terrible cycles, such as no periods or two long and painful periods a month. So it was really no surprise to me that my period wasn't on time. But I woke up on Mother's Day and told myself I was gonna take one. I didn't want to cuz I didn't know what I would do if it was negative again. But it was positive. My only worry now is that I hope I can carry the baby to full term, since I have had so many problems with everything. But I can't preach to you to keep taking them...cuz I quit taking them after a couple weeks, but I hope you do long enough to conceive. Do you have pretty regular cycles to know when you may be ovulating? Best of luck and maybe soon you will be pregnant..or maybe you already are!!!

Marie, I'm not too educated about the mature follicles, but I'm sure that with time and effort....it will happen. I wish you the best of luck. Nadine, I was taking 500 mg twice a day, but my dr wanted me to up to 3, then 4 times a day. Gosh, NO. I thought I'd be stuck in the bathroom the rest of my life. Hopefully you tried to make a baby on those days you had cramping, because you may have been ovulating. I conceived exactly 2 weeks after the first day of my period. It's still so surreal to me that I am pregnant. My first dr appt is May 31st, so maybe then I'll believe it. But best of luck and talk to you soon.

I have been taking Metformin for last week and the nausea is like constant travel sickness. We had 6 months of clomid with no luck. I am slightly over weight and wonder if this drug is given to overweight ladies who don't ovulate? I have not spoken to my consultant but a very rude doctor who filled out the prescription said they would not give this to me if I was small......I am about 25 pounds over weight. Has anybody else heard this?

Hey Donna. I came on my period on Saturday which means i ovulated before i started taking the tablets. I have now been taking them for a little over a week. I still feel extremely weak and sick but hope that ends soon i will be having sex llike a rabbit this month to hopefully ensure i catch my ovulation date. Please keep me in your prayers that this cycle is it for me. Please God

Nadine, Good luck with the baby making process. If I were you, I'd go to a website that will help calculate your most fertile days. That will kinda give you help to as when you should be making love. But like I said before, it's about 2 weeks after the first day of your period. So try like crazy then. Best of luck to you!!!!

I came on my period on Saturday. I'm happy its come back but sad i didn't catch my ovulation date i became too relaxed and weren't having sex that often as i just couldn't be bothered. As soon as it comes back i'll be on top form i think it has more to do with my weight loss but hopefully the tablets will help this cycle be the one for me. Please God

Nadine, I wish you the best of luck. It will happen when God wants it to happen. I think it'll be this month for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
