Hi all, I am new to this forum and from the UK.
I had great sucess with Metformin and my darling son is now 19 weeks old! I never thought I would get so write those words!!!! I did have to have a high dose in the end I think from memory it was 1800 per day? but it did the trick, my periods returned and I began to ovulate again sporadically but at least I was working (sort of!) However the down side is it took me 4 years of doctors visits, trying a world of different diets, including a 1000cal a day diet prescribed my my Gaynae, which was the worst one as I ate NOTHING!!! I am now back to being overweight and am thinking of going back on the Metformin as nothing I do shifts the weight, I just seem to be getting bigger
LOOKING FOR HOPE - I monitored my temp monthly, the only problem is you become absolutely obsessive and sometimes I think that the pure stress of this hinders ovulation, funnily enough the one month that I didn't do this I pell pregnant! I have had a look at my books and the temp range is 97 - 97.5 so the difference is tiny, make sure you take it at the same time every day or it won't be accurate, if I remember I used to take mine even before I got out of bed, you will need to do this for a couple of months to really get to know your cycle, my docs offered me blood tests on days 28 & 34 to test if I had ovulated which was really useful.
