It worked for me when I was using it, as did Yasmin (the birth control pill). Unfortunately, I've been without medical insurance for the past year and a half. |

I'm also on prometrium, but have no idea how it works or at what point of the month I should start. My. DR says from Peak +4 days, but I ovulate so late (day 17-19). This is not normal for me. For 2 mos. now, nothing has resulted from using prometruim.
I have gotten pregnant on day 14ish and had a beautiful daughter who is now in heaven due to a car accident. In any case, I know I can get pregnant!!!! I'll just keep praying!!!
I guess I'll need to lose about 30 lbs. to get to my prime fertility weight, maybe then only 1000 mg will work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks! | Sorry to hear about you little girl. Loosing weight will help. I'll check back tomorrow. Debbie | |

Thank you for all of your posts. It's so uplifting to read success stories from women like me. I have never had regular cycles and never knew why until being DX with PCOS last month. I was so excited just know that there was a reason and that medicine may help. My hubby and I have been trying to conceive for 3.5 years now and I pray that metformin will be what helps us!!
I started taking it about 3 wks ago and I started today!!! YAY!!! I pray that I get pregnant from this. I'm not sure I want to do shots, etc. I've tried Clomid before for six months but not with Met. I'd be willing to do that but I'm not sure I'm ready for fertility treatments beyond that point so I pray that the met works! I feel so blessed that I found out that I have PCOS. At least now I can do something to help my body work the best it can.
Thanks guys for your stories. I really hope I'm able to post a success story here very soon!!! | |

When I was on the metformin, I did have a prescription for provera (medroxyprogesterone) to bring on a period if it didn't start by day 31 but I rarely had to use it because a period would start. Now I have a little over 6 weeks to go in my pregnancy before my little daughter is born. Hang in there and keep positive thoughts!

Met was my miracle drug. I have never had normla periods since I was 13. I would have one and then go 5-7 months without another. I started Met back at the begining of June and have had normal cycles 26-32 days up until september when I foud out I was PG!!!!!! I also lost 30lbs in the process. So this stuff really works.
