Hi Satclee,
I will just share a story with you to keep you on a positive frame of mind regarding PCOS. My sister is diabetic she's had it for nearly 29 years, insuline dependent. As a consequence she has PCOS. When she was 29 years old she went on dialisis as her kidneys stopped working due to diabetes. She did dialisis for about 6 months (the most horrible thing I've ever seen someone enduring). Then, I donated one of my kidneys to her. She was put on all sorts of imune supressant drugs plus more and she was told she could never have babies. A year late, she got married, was super healthy, still PCOS, don't know if she was taking the metformin, but she fell pregnant. It was a miracle, and miracles of life do happen to all of us. I have no doubt you will happen to you too! :)

I started taking Metformin in May 2009 to treat my PCOS. I wasn't really "trying" to conceive since I still hadn't had a normal series of cycles, but became pregnant in November 2009. I am POSITIVE that Metformin is the reason I was able to conceive.

I am 28 yrs and was diagnosed with PCOS 6 yrs back.I was put on Metformin right away and i responded perfectly by having my cycles regularly each month.But now when i am trying to get pregnant for 3 months ,doctor told me that i am not ovulating by doing an 12th day ultrasound and she wants to put me on Clomid.I read so many articles about Clomid and multiple births that now I am very scared.Some how i believe Metformin should be able to bring ovulation in me .I take 500 mg of metformin.I just want to know ,if any PCOS patient has ever conceived by being just on Metformin.Response would be greatly appreciated.

It is bitter sweet to read and see so many posts with women in similar situations as myself. Of course, no one would wish these heartaches and complications on anyone, but it is comforting to know we are all not the only ones. Never having normal periods from the beginning (often times going 6-9 months without) and six years of debating the cause (the first diagnosis being the devastating premature ovarian failure), I was finally 'officially' diagnosed with PCOS, and recently started Metformin. I have been given the freedom to take all three pills (1500mg, stepped up over months) together, which works best for me because I have a hard time taking it in the morning, usually because I don't eat much breakfast, which then causes dizziness for me. Starting Metformin in November '09, after taking progesterone to induce a period, I have continued to increase my dosage and just this morning was prescribed a second round of progesterone to induce a second period, as it has been over three months since my last. After graduating college, I am now marrying my high school sweetheart and long time (6 years) boyfriend (fiance) in November and we have chose to not use birth control medications. Though it would be financially challenging if we conceived at this time, considering my (our) odds, it would be a blessing, and we would find a way to make everything work. I wish everyone the best of luck as we all look hopeful to the future! <3

pinkprincess86- I am starting metformin tomorrow! With charting you can observe cervical mucus and cervix and take you BBT. I cant tell that way because mine are irregular too. There are also ovulation predictor kits

Hi, I have just been started on 500mg Metformin daily (I queried the dosage but my obs/gyn Dr is very specialised & experienced & assured me that this dose is more than sufficient - he quoted some research documents etc). I have PCOS and have been TTC for 1 year now. Had 1 AF during that time, had a BFP, but m/c at 9 wks. I am a "slim cyster" as they call it, otherwise fit and healthy and am desperate to have a bub! My question is, has anybody fell pregnant on Metformin without having a period first?

I was diagnosed with PCOS in February 2009 after TTC for 8 years!!!! My PCP prescribed Metformin 500mg daily in January 2010 for the first month and then increased the dose to twice a day the second month (February). Towards the end of March I began to feel extremely sick and went to the ER to find out that I was 6 weeks pregnant. I was told to discontinue the Metformin and now I am now 13 weeks pregnant and all of my tests so far have come back normal. I am so happy and blessed right now. So there is hope u guys. Just pray about it and take your meds regularly and it can and will happen for u as well. Let me know if u have ANY questions.
Good Luck
