Hello ladies, can I join you?

I was told I had PCOS 5 years ago and was put on 1000mg metformin a day, have now been TTC for 3 years without even a hint of them magical 2 lines. We are currently on a 6 month break due to hubby being in Afgan and going to start IVF once he returns next year.

My doctor has just upped my dosage to 1500mg per day, so I am currently suffering the side effects again and not leaving the house!

i take 500mg 3 times daily and don't have any of the bad side effects never really got them either .. just and upset tummy for a few days and got rather bloated but now fine on them since 2nd week .. so far been taking them 4 weeks x

Welcome girls, i got af yesterday it was 16 days late it has never happened before my cycle is all over the place think im going to just bd every other day when af disappears as i find the ovulation kits expensive if your not sure when your ovulating xxx

 

[littlebopeep]

Hi girls ive set up a new thread about napro technology which is a natural alternative to IVF napro has a higher rate of success for women with pocs than ivf, i just want to see if any one has tried it xxx

 

[littlebopeep]

Hi girls ive just seen on another thread where another lady has ovulated after taking Vitamin D just thought id pass it on to anyone having trouble ovulating xx

Hi girls, this is first cycle taking met. I increased dosage to 1000mg this week and am now on cd25. Noticed today a little bit of creamy cm with teeny tiny microscopic clotty looking blobs of red blood in my undies totally tmi - sorry!!. Now I normally spot before my af but nothing like this - normally pinky brown wet stuff when i wipe. Is this normal do you think? If it means Im getting an af then fantastic cos cycles are normally twice this long if not longer, but just a bit concerned as not seen it before? Any thoughts?

Thank you xx

 

[littlebopeep]

Baby b ubbles could you be pregnant i had cm like that when i was keep us posted xx

 

[BabyBubbles]

i wish littlebopeep! The spotting has gotten heavier the last couple of days and needing a pad now so thinking af on its way. Part of me is pleased as cycle is shorter but part of me is a bit fed up as spotting before af isnt good. Think i expected the met to be a wonder drug that would fix me lol

 

[mrsm2be]

hi ladies, just wondering when you started taking metformin, how long was it before you got af? cos ive not had af since august, and started to take metformin 500mg 2 weeks ago, i take them twice a day, so im just curious to see what happens to your afs. xx

Hello ladies! I don't have pcos but have insulin resistance and have been on met for a few years on and off now. Had a m/c in July (wasn't on met for almost a year) when my doc decided despite the weight loss I still have insulin problems so back on it again. Third cycle since m/c and the met seems to be working better than I remember it doing.

I have lost 33lbs since the last time I used it so it is possible that it is just working better for me now. It does seem to have shifted my cycle to 28 days instead of 29/30 so happy days lol.

 

[littlebopeep]

Hi girls i see our thread is slipping away we must keep it up xxxxxxx

 

[dizzyliz8]

HI all

I started metformin about 8 weeks ago, had my first AF after week 6 (which was painful to say the least) I have since read up more and although I was happy to be given met I am starting to get a little dishearted as now it seems it does not make you OV? Is this correct? Im very confused about it all. x

 

[forestfairy]

Hi, I have just been prescribed metformin for PCOS weight gain. I am due to start it next week but am terrified of the side effects. Wondered if anyone had any tips for controlling the side effects?

Hi Ladies

Do you mind if I join you?

Ive been TTC for nearly 4 years with PCOS, and have just been put back on Metformin which I tried a few years ago. Im excited to try Met again, as it worked well last time (I stopped as we took a TTC break).

I will be on 1500mg a day but will build up slowly with 1 a day first week and so on.

Everyone seems quite new to Met on here, so how are you all doing? I found the gradual build up worked for me last time, and it became obvious what foods not to eat with Met as well.

Ive just read through all the posts and littlebopeep I had the same thing as you when i started Met, a longer cycle than normal then is settled to a nice 30 day cycle.

Look forward to chatting to you all.

Sarah

Hi ladies,

Well, im having no side effects like nausea and diarrhea etc but i have been heavy spotting for the last week with lots of cramping. Is this normal? It started on cd25 and now on cd31 and worried this is going to continue for ages. Anyone had similar?
