Trishain- did you have to have anything other than metformin to get pregnant all three times? I have been contemplating trying the met for about 6 months or so before we go forward with the injections. I was just wondering.

Wow! That is definitely inspiring! Did you start at 1500 mg or work your way up? I started on 500mg and it is working well enough that I got my cycle on a normal 28 days from the first day of my last cycle. This is only the third time in nine years that this has happened. I am SO excited! (I know, excited that I got a cycle. Strange huh?!)

did 500 mg and added another 500 mg each week to dose... did different doses each time as you can see in my signature. the cool thing for me is that whatever month i start met in is the month i give birth the following year. | |

Yeah I noticed that! I am going to ask my Dr. whether or not we should increase my dose. I am hoping that it won't take very long with the met before I get my first BFP. We have already tried Clomid for three cycles and nothing happened. Just switched gynos for the third time and I have my first RE appt on March 26th. I'll definitely ask about a higher dose!

Did you do the low carb diet just on your second try or all three times? How did that work out for you? Did it help alot that you could tell?

And just for background info on me...
I'm a thin cyster and never been tested for IR (although I suspect i probalby do have it, btu doctor doens't test cause he said the results can be unreliable and he just prescribes it regardless). I did ovulate on my own just not regularly. I believe most of my lab work came back normal at least the last time, but do have cystic ovaries, high cholesterol, mild acne and I think that's it (oh, fertility issues of course! I tried for a over a year for the first one before diagnosis) | |

I was very strict the first time since i was so desperate and it made me lose a lot of weight (I was at my highest at the time at 126lbs and got down to 109 lbs at 5'4.5"...my normal weight is more like 112-115 within 3 months) The second time I was less strict since I was still nursing and hadn't even had my first postpartum period (never did get it.. got pregnant instead!) but it made me lose even more and I got down to 107 which I was a bit worried about, but still worked! The third time I wasn't very strict but still lost about 4-5 lbs with the met... but got pregnant the same amount of time regardless, so not sure if it really helped or not, but feel its worth a shot! | |

Should a new thread be started? We're getting close to 900 posts, and the recommendation is 200.

update - my doctor called ME today with respect to my medication. She is increasing my dose from 1000 to 1500 and is referring me to a fertility speciality.
Does anyone have any references for any specialists in central NJ? Thanks | |

Good luck Monira! I started the Met on Valentine's day and although the weight loss hasn't been drastic, I have found that if I cut my carbs and sugars in half from what I used to eat, the weight just falls off. Good luck to you again and keep your head up, you can do this!

Personally, I think met is well worth taking.  | good to hear this me and my husband lost 2 babies and I wasn't taking my metformin the way I was suppose to I'm glad I came across your message I know to keep taking my met now thanks so much. Sharon in TN | |

Hi All! I"m starting Met today to deal with my PCOS symptoms. I hope it regulates my period. I took it briefly before and all it did was give me what seemed like a really long but light period. I'd love to keep in touch and try and keep notes and share stories of our daily progress! Good luck to you all! | |
