Hey Welcome to SC!!

I've heard a lot of success stories with Clomid AND Met!

How long have you been on Metformin? Sometimes it takes a while to work!

I agree Met does take time to work. It's not an overnight solution. I'd check with the girls on the TTC blog about clomid. I haven't been on that yet. We are trying to lose some more weight before we try clomid.

Hi
Met does take awhile to work. I started to have a cycle after 2 months on Met(previously didn't O at all) but I have read that it can take up to 6 months. It is definatley worth giving it a bit more time . I had done a couple of rounds with clomid before I tried Met but it didn't work out for me. It's just a matter of finding what your body responds to best. Good luck with everything.
