I too am on metformin. It actually worked for me the first month. I had a cycle in september and this october. I use it in combination with clomid 150mgs. I hear for some it can take 2-3 months before it gets through your system. What dosage are you on? Are you taking clomid with it?
Baby dust to you and yours!

Hi ladies. Just saying hello. I am in the 2WW and about 5-6dpo and boy am I losing hope! I started this cycle so positive but as I get closer to AF, Im losing hope. This is all too hard. DH is hopeful and also says well if it doesnt happen this month, then this is what Im going to do next month, LOL. He's already planning! I will be heartbroken as Im sure we all are or we wouldnt be here posting and trying to get BFPs. Maybe Im just having a moment. I just think if I am BFP wouldnt I feel a little of something now??? Im not a symptom spotter usually but for some reason this cycle, I am looking for anything. I just need to relax and just let it be right?to all!

 

[fuzzylu]

good luck in ur 2ww.

So sorry you are feeling down hun, your dpo is really too early for symptoms so dont dispair, I have a friend who is 7 weeks preganant and she has had no symptoms so dont worry. 2WW is always hard and especially as you are on meds to help i think that does put extra pressure on you.

Hope you feel better soon, rant as much as you need on here xxx

Hi Hun

Its not really a false positive with pcos but that hormone is usually high in pcos so the test doesnt always help us.

Symptoms for pcos, irregular and long cycles, weight gain, mainly round your stomach, hair growth on face, acne, depression.

You should ask your gp for 21 day bloods to see if you are ovulating.

Hi

As it made you sick last time maybe increasing the dose gradually will be good for you? Although i was given a 1500g straight away it actually took me a month to get to that dosage.

Good luck

Oooo, ooooo Can I join too?!? I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2005. Dh and I have been trying for a year now. I am on Clomid 100mg this cycle and metformin. I'm hoping this. makes me Ov! So far met has not helped me but I'm hoping that changes with the longer I'm on it.

 

[beauty]

Anyone know any ideas what might be best dosage to start on metroformin????

Hi im on Diabex XR (metformin) and im on 2000mg a day but thats the highest you can go i think, maybe start at 1000mg a day and see how it goes and if there are no side affects then you can up the dose and see what happens good luck.

Hi Ladies, well this cycle is 58 days so far and no AF. I've totally ruled BFP out after several tests. I think I'm going to phone my doctor to try and get to see him. I can't have my 21 day bloods to AF shows, I need to do something and get the ball rolling some how

 

[beauty]

My AF showed on cd64 this cycle huni, i would ring doctor and ask to go in and once you get to see him asked to be referred to a specialist as having cycles that length is not normal huni.. Plus it gets the ball rolling sooner for u

Hi Hun

Your Dr should be able to give you something to bring on AF so you can get your bloods done.

The problem I have it's 2-3 weeks wait for an appointment. It's ridiculous. I had some sharp stabbing the other day on my left hand side so I'm wondering if that's AF on her way. Apart from that there's no sign what so ever

 

[greydawn]

hi there. please explain what test is done on day 21. since i was born i never had af without the aid of meds. overal was the drug of choice for my dr. i can count on both my hands the number of af i have had. never had 2 cycles in a row. think my pcos is bad as everyone here at least gets their cycle. feeling disheartend

HUn im sorry to hear you are feeling down, i promise you are not alone.

2 things,
1. if you are TTC your doc really should be giving you something to help you get a cycle rather than just bring on AF, you dont want AF you want to ovulate. The meds I know of are metformin which should bring on a normal cycle and therefore help you ovulate, although its very much down to your body to actually do it, and clomid which tricks your body into ovulating.

2. 21 day bloods is to see if you are ovulating (and they check for other hormone levels), its day 21 as in a normal cycle this would be the latest it would usually happen.

Hope this helps, and chat away if you need to rant are upset or have questions.

I've just started metformin - I'm on 500mg a day to start with. xxx

 

[Sushai]

I hope its not too late to join the pcos club?

Im on metformin, taking 3, 500mg tablets daily. I was given provera to bring on AF so that I can start clomid as Im not ovulating Happy to say that the provera worked, af has arrived today and will start clomid tomorrow.
