Anyone with PCOS get pregnant on Metformin alone?




Cristina


I have PCOS and have been TTC for 21 months. I have been taking Metformin for a month. The cycle right before I started taking it was 77 days. The next was 43, and I could have ovulated on that cycle according to my temperatures. Then I had a 23 days cycle. I asked my doctor about this and she said it could just be the Metformin regulating my cycles. Anyone have any similar experiences with Metformin? Did you get pregnant while on it?


Answer
With me, I've had PCOS for year...since early teens. I'm 24 (yesterday, yay!) and I'm 10 weeks preggo now. I was put on the BCP and Metformin both for a long time. Needed the BCP to regulate my periods before I could start TTC. Well, after I got off the pill in OCT right after I got married, well when I ovulated in NOV I got pregnant. The only med I was on was the Metformin 500mg 2 x's a day. I thought it would take a lot longer, but the dr's said since the BCP regulated the period for so long, the Metformin helped me ovulate. So I guess the combo helped me. But it only took me a month and a half to get pregnant once I got off the pill. I'm still on Metformin now to prevent miscarriage (even after fighting with the nurse, she didn't have a clue when it comes to PCOS) so I'm going strong now, baby it healthy and I'm good! My cycles when I was on both was always 25 days. Always the same.

Good luck!

Who got pregnant on JUST MetFormin?

I have PCOS and my doctor prescribed me MetFormin & they are hoping i get pregnant on it. I have read online that a lot of woman take clomid with the metforman also but they didn't prescribe me the clomid

So my question is How many woman got pregnant on JUST MetFormin alone.



Answer
I have not but I work with a lady who was.
Her blood sugars were too high and making her eggs hard and impenetrable.
She told me that she took metformin for about 6 months.
Got pregnant and had a miscarriage at about 11 weeks.
Then she didn't give up, her and her husband kept trying
and now they have a beautiful baby girl.

Now I am trying my luck with this.
I hope I can be as lucky as her.
Good luck and lots of baby dust!
