I have had irregular periods throughout my teenage years, however never thought much of it.At about 19 I put on weight and my period decresed in regularity. I had a weight loss operation in October 2007 which made me lose a good amount of weight. I started to worry when i hadnt had a period for 5 months and decided to consult the gyno, the appointment was disappointing as the dr told me i should wait and he was pretty sure my periods would become normal within 12 months. Which i was extremelly disappointed with considering my fiance and I have been ttc for 18 months!!! He informed me I had PCOS.

I consulted my GP about my condition and she decided to put me onto Medformin, which i am taking 3 per day (1500mg). We only started a week or so ago and I had slight discomfort with Metformin but nothing to drastic. We also purchased a saliva ovulation predictor to assist us to know if and when i ovulate. We have done it religiously from day 1 of meformin, yesterday when we did it, it appeared to be the transition period. Then, when I re-did it last night, I had complete furns which 'apparently' meant ovulation, obvioulsy baby dancing occured! and now we're waiting. But I'm not sure if i should trust the results as I did a pee on the stick one and the box said it was negative (even though it was a faint and dark line). This morning I had pain on my left side where my ovary is and i now have a headache, not to sure what to think! So confused and REALLY want to believe that i ovulated!

Has anyone concieved on Metformin within 3 months?

Thanks
