So I don't have pcos or diabetes. Have regular uneventful periods. To aid in conceiving my (hopefully!) 5th child the doc is putting me on metformin & Clomid. Any thoughts or experiences. I tried 2 cycles of Clomid 3 years ago nothing happenned. Never been on the metformin not looking forward to it every day 3x a day! Advice?
 
I'm taking 2,000mg of metformin daily, increased from 1,000 two years ago. when you start you wanna gradually increase the dose over a week. this helps with the diarrhea problem that seems to accompany most metformin users. if you stay away from fatty greasy foods that also helps. I have heard metformin er is better at preventing this but I've never tried it. I'm going on my third round of clomid this month. I'll be taking 150mg as I failed to ovulate on 50 and 100mg. the only side effects I had were hot flashes but they say if you take it at night (which I didn't) you won't experience the side effects as bad.
 
Ugh. I'm not happy about this at all.
