trying again with metformin

[babydust1]

Hi all hope everybody is ok

ok so i've started taking metformin again i was taking it last year but decided to stop in november because i didn't feel like it was working for me it did make me ovulate a couple of times but didn't seem to fall pregnant.

im now taking 1500mg of metformin, before i was taking 1000mg i hope this little extra can work for me, ive been trying to conceive with pcos for 4 years now. im having ovarian drilling in july and garny will then prescribe me clomid

there's been days when i feel like i don't want to do anything anymore and give up but i know that if i give up i'll never get anywhere. i've been feeling really down lately like i cant stand going out the house to see happy mothers pregnant again i feel really selfish about this but it hurts to much.

The symbol of hope is a ribbon of teal, one day I hope there will be no more pain until then support your cysters.

i keep saying to my self

Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist, you will be successful.

Hey,

I too have gone back on to Metformin. I have tried it before and it did nothing for me. I was taking 1700mg but the stomach upset and nausea I suiffered was horrendous. It never helped me to ovulate and it didnt bring Af on for me.

My FS has recently prescribed Clomid and Provera but when I took the Provera I didnt have a full withdrawal bleed so he has put me back on Metformin in the hope this will kick start AF so I can start the clomid. If after 12 weeks I still haven't had AF then I will have to take the Provera again.

I also know exaclty how you feel. We started trying at a similar time to all our friends and family and now they have all had their second. I keep having little goals in my mind - that when it is booked (i.e holidays friends weddings etc) I think oh I could be pregnant by then and it hits so hard when they come round and we are still waiting. But we have to be strong and positive about this honey cos when we do get out BFP and bundles of joy they will be so treasured because we have fought so much harder for them xxxx

i hope your AF comes very soon for you & i wish you all the luck in the world for ttc yeah it is my sister has just had a child & i recently well last week found out that 2 of my close friends are expecting & said they been trying only for 2 weeks ... so basically it all gets on top of me. people tell me i'm very strong but im actually not, falling asleep some nights crying is not strong =/ they tell me they know what im going through how can they know what im going through unless they actually go through it themselves? i was speaking to someone the other day that actually said everything happens for a reason, maybe its just not meant to be .. yeah thats just what i really wanted to hear thank u very much.. im sick of hearing everything happens for a reason... how could there possibly be a reason for so many women not to be gifted with the best possible gift in the world =/

i hope that someday it will happen its just waiting and thinking when

its harder to wait around for something u know may never happen but its harder to give up when u know it's everything you want

&& i wish for once people would actually stop telling me to stop crying and actually pay attention to the reasons why i am..

sorry for my rant just having a really bad week this week alot of things getting on top of me and its only really here that i know people understand what its like to be going through this..

Don't apologise!! We are in the same boat here and feel the same sometimes we have bad weeks sometimes we have good weeks. But being able to voice everything on here when we feel we can't say it out loud to those annoying us makes it that bit more bearable.

Someone else has posted the infertilty article which says exactly how we all feel and if only everyone could read that things may not be quite so difficult for us all x

Hey dears,
May I join too? Have PCOS and also am on Metformin.... was on 1,500mg for 3 weeks and have increased it to 2,000mg 3 days ago.... So far, I've got 1 AF after 1 month on Metformin (1,000mg dosage). Now I'm waiting for the next AF which should have come a few days ago. I'm not PG though, cos my cycles are usually very long. I have hopes that Metformin is regulating my cycles, but my next AF doesn't show any sign of coming at all! Arghhhh....

Let me know how Metformin works for you!

i have pcos and am on metformin 1700mg a day - have been since july 09. i feel it has done nothing for me

been ttc for 13 n a half months, never had a bfp. gotta keep takin the met until oct 10 when i go back to the doctors.

sometimes i feel like givin up, then all i see are pregnant women, newborn babies n friends tell me they r pregnant, i get jealous and it makes me even more determind to get my bfp and my little pip.

i do get down and cry at night sometimes, but in the end it makes me stronger and makes me realise how much i want this - if im cryin it must mean it means so much to me.

don't give up - the day u get ur bfp and hold ur newborn in ur arms, all the nights of cryin and feelin of givin up will be a distant memory. it is hard when u have a fertility problem but we are the ones that want it the most - and it means the most to us when we eventually hold our little ones.
