I got pregnant within 6 months of taking the combination, but quickly miscarried. I decided to stay on metformin and drop the clomid, and soon realized that I was ovulating without the clomid. Within a year from my first pregnancy, I met a naturopath and started looking at my diet as well. She had me stop eating wheat and dairy and put me on supplements in areas that I was deficient. She also had me stay on Metformin! Within two months of this new eating plan, we were pregnant. I stayed on Metformin until 14 weeks and the whole pregnancy went perfect. I had no complications and it was very healthy. I was induced at 37 weeks because my blood pressure was high and I had dialated to 2 cm, there was also protein in my urine. My daughter was born perfect, at 6 pounds 13 ounces. Metformin was really instrumental in my PCOS, I am so thankful for it!
