Pusskins,
I really never had a problem with OV just had small non viable eggs but my doc said it may take a month or more for the meta to work. So good luck.

I took Metformin for total of 5 weeks. I had an op to remove my ovary and then had mirena coil removed. AF was just not showing so doc put me on Metformin. exactly 7 days after taking it, I had a period. I then ovulated on CD15, and then got my BFP on 11DPO. Hope this helps you -x-

Hiya Pusskins.
I started taking Met on cd 7 and i ovulated on cd 23 and AF showed up on cd35. This is 6 days shorter than my previous cycle.
I am now on cd14 of my next cycle so i will let you know if it makes me ovulate earlier this month.
Good Luck x

WOW, congratulations.

I hope that works for me.
I've been taking Metformin now for nearly 2 weeks, no sign of af yet
Maybe I ovulated first.

Hope you have a happy, healthy pregnancy.

I've been taking it all this cycle (started on day 1) and nada.Hopefully it works for you though. It could be because I actually have no blood glucose/insulin issues at all that it does nowt for me

I have been taking Metformin for about a year and a half now and although it has regulated my cycles, but according to my blood tests I'm still not ovulating.(I may only ovulate once every few months).
I know it has worked really well for others though so it's well worth giving it some time to do it's thing. Good luck hun.

Hi
I was on 500mgs too x

 

[MillieMoo]

I am on 500mg twice a day.

 

[Pusskins]

I'm on one 500mg tablet a day.
I don't think that dose is going to work

[MillieMoo]

Did your doctor not tell you to up it after a few weeks? Mine told me to take one tablet for 2 weeks so my body got used to it then i was told to up it to 2.
How long did you say you had until you go back? Maybe you could ask about it then.

 

[Helen_26]

I'm taking 850mg twice a day. It started off as 850mg once a day and then increased over a couple of weeks.

It took a while for metformin to get things moving for me. I started TTC in Feb '06, started metformin in Oct '07, was ovulating by the spring of '08 and got my in May '09.

I did find it regulated my periods after a few months, I was on 500mg x 3 daily. I was given clomid during 2008, but that didn't work for me. It did give me EWCM though. The cycle I got my I somehow managed to produce EWCM on my own for the 1st time in a long while.

So I do think metformin helped, though it's not a cure-all and you may have to be patient for it to take effect.

Good luck

Wow, thanks for that. I am feeling more and more confidant with the metformin now.
Did the metformin help you produce EWCM or was it the clomid?

Congratulations and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months
