I was only on 1000mg, and I conceived. But, I was also taking Clomid 100mg. Are you just going to try the met?

Good luck!!!

The recommended dose for PCOS is 1700 but I was on 1500 when I conceived both of mine. I think if it regulates you then you should have no problems getting preg. Good Luck!

Question

Just another question. I'm also on 1500mg of metformin...and I saw that several of you ladies were able to get pregnant on it. Just wondering how long it took. In terms of months. Vtmommy, I hope you don't mind me butting in.

I got preg w/in a couple of months on Met. It regulated me fast and both preg. happend right after going back on the Met...I stopped the Met when I got preg w/dd b/c then they didn't know if it was safe, there hadn't been any studies and I stayed off of it until a little while after I quit bf'ing. My babies are 21 months apart and I had tried a lot over 4 1/2 years with no luck whatsoever. I also lost like 20 lbs. each time on the Met.

I got pregnant after being on Met-1500 just a few months, so it worked pretty fast for me. After giving birth I was told by a np that sometimes your body fixes itself and that I might not need the met again. Now 8 months after giving birth, I've only had one short & light period and am just starting on the met again. Obviously my body didn't didn't fix itself, unfortunately! We're hoping to start ttc #2 this fall, so I'm hoping it does the trick for me again.

GL to you ladies!

Depends on the woman. Women whose hormones are close to normal or that move easily can do really well on a lower dose, others need more. Most Docs test your bloodwork every 3 months or so and if things are still improving will stay at the currenmt dose. If things stall or whatever, then an increase might be in order.

For what it's worth, I was on 1500 mg and I have hormonmes that need a jackhammer. I'm as fertile as Eve on that dose, but it took some time to get there.

Hope it helps!
