Nadine, I've now started getting morning sickness, that lasts all day. It's weird cuz I'm almost 12 weeks along. Most people get sick at the beginning. I had my first dr appt last week and that made it real for me. Now my next appt is Monday where hopefully we can hear the heartbeat. I'm so excited. Well I'll be crossing my fingers you don't get your period on Tuesday. Good luck.

Donna you are such an inspiration, I have endo and PCOS and have just finished my first month on Met, my cycle arrived on day 33 which means I was only four days late compared to 10 or 11 days late. Its just good to know that someone got preg while on Met. Good luck with your baby :o)

Thank you Liz. That was very nice of you to say. I did struggle alot through the years with trying to have a baby. I definetly thought it could never happen to me. But what a blessing that I am. Good luck with you and god bless.

it sometimes takes a week or two to get used to, some GI side effects, but it actually makes you feel better - no PMS, regulates hormones, etc. You'll get pregnant since you'll ovulate more regularly too.

I stoppoed by metformin at 8 weeks and miscarried at 10 - I am now pregnant again and am still taking 1000mg/day - what dose during first trimester is best to prevent miscarriage?

I'm really happy for you Donna!
Today is the day my period hasn't arrived yet but i think it will.
i took a test on thurs and got a bfn so my period will probably come later on today but i really really really hope not!!

Hello everyone, all your stories are extremely inspiring and it's great to find out that i'm not alone out there. pcos diagnosed May 6 and started Metformin. Still getting nauseaous and woozy, as i like to call it. But got my period on day 39 as apposed to day 48 or 76. My dr informed to stop metformin ASAP if i find i'm pregnant. But i am finding that many are still continuing to take it through the 1st trimester. This confuses me.
I'm just at a point wear it seems everyone around me (friends, family) is pregnant or just had a baby. It pulls at my heart. And it makes me sick when i see a very pregnant woman with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Oh i told her a thing or two, but in the end...she'll do what she wants, right? Donna, I pray that we all are as lucky as you in succes, and i wish you nothing but complete health and best wishes for an easy pregnancy!

Thank you all for you kind words. It means a lot to me. I am so worried about doing everything to make sure me and baby are healthy. That's my only worry. Good luck to all you trying!! You're time will come.

I'm gettin frustrated now.
Period due 14th so i'm 2 days late.
i done an ovulation test which showed i ovulated so my period should bbe here. Can they be wrong?? I've been getting period pains but no period.
Waht us women go through!

Nadine, Could you be pregnant???

this is a great drug to take. My fertility doctor prescribed it because he said it might help with pregnancy if you have PCOS. I eventually got pregnat and this drug doesn't hurt.

yes i have pcos, started taking metformin 12 weeks ago and am presently nine weeks pregnant. still taking metformin throughout pregnancy

Hi, I have PCOS and have 2 kids(7 & 4), both were conceived using Clomid, I have been on Metformin for 3 .5 months, I went from 1000mg to 2000mg with no problems but stomach upsets are common. I have lost 5 kgs, my skin is clearer and now I may be pregnant (12 weeks) my boy is about to start school, scan on the 20th to confirm the 2 blue lines! Doctor said to stop the metformin now but I am scared it may harm the pregnancy, I seem to have problems towards the end and my babies stop growing. Has others continued to use Metformin thru out or have stopped it with no side effects? Thanks {:-)

I've been on Metformin for 1.5 months now, and i'm extremely anxious to get pregnant. I'm having a tough time knowing when i ovulate since my cycles are so darn irregluar. For a while i was 45 days, then went to 76 days and now , my first cylce after metformin it was on day 39. Do the cycles get shorter and shorter or should i expect it to stay around day 39? This might be an old wive's tale, but are there specific sexual positions before and after that can promotea pregancy? Any help would be great!

Hi Layla, missionary with the man on top, or rear entry (also known as doggy style) are the best ways to get pregnant. That way the least amount of sperm leaks out. Good luck!

I'm wondering if there is anyone who is taking metformin in the absence of insulin resistance. I went off the pill 10 months ago. I had one period two months ago and this month I have spotted or bled for 21 days (still going on). Two separate ultrasounds have shown me to have clusters of cysts consistent with PCOS but I have not of the other obviouse systems. Sugar and hormone levels came out ok. I am about 20-25 lbs. overweigh. My dr. is trying me on metformin. I'm just looking for feedback or experiences?!?!?
thanks!
