 TTC with Metformin a 2nd Time
I conceived my 2nd child fairly easily on metformin. I'd been on it for a year before TTC simply to bring my period back. I had "regular" 40 day cycles. Once I decided to TTC, I charted my temps and cervical fluid for a month and felt that I must be ovulating. Sure enough, one our first try the next cycle, we conceived. I stayed on metformin for my 1st trimester (not with the support of my doctor) and weaned off early in the 2nd. My periods were crazy after I tried to bring my periods back with met a year after my son was born (mennorhagia++) and found that the Mirena was the answer. Now it's 6 years later. I had weight loss surgery and lost 85lb. My period returned shortly after the surgery (I was down about 30lb) and have been spot on 30 days since. I thought for sure I must be ovulating. When my husband and I decided we'd like to conceive #3, we figured no problem. I had the IUD removed and started charting. Well, guess what? No ovulation even with regular periods and major weight loss. So I'm just starting met again and hope it works again. Wish me luck |
