Hi! I was finally diagnosed after going off of the bcp in November and having no period. I was on the pill for 9 years because every time i went off of it, i never got my period so the doctors just put me back on it! I like most you, do not fit the stereotypical pcoser! I am very nervous and overwhelmed, as my husband and i really want to have a baby soon!!! I am very fit 5'3 and 125pds with just a little hair growth on my chest, pretty normal labs, though elevated LH andcysts seen on ultrasound. I am on day 3 of metformin and am praying for good results. Has anyone out there gotten pregnant on metformin? How long should I expect results? I am so anxious and emotional and am looking for a little reassuance. My husband does not seem to understand, and all of my friends have babies! Thanks for listening! Any advice about anything else i should be doing would be great! I already eat pretty healthy, but have tried to lower my carbs even more? Thanks so much! A scared newcomer

Welcome to Soulcysters. I am sure you will find a lot of information on this site. You mentioned your doctor put you on metformin. Are you insulin resistant? What dosage are you on? I am insulin resistant and I have been on Glucophage XR (1500 MG) since December 2001. I have always had normal periods, but I was not ovulating. I have ovulated every month since I have been on Glucophage XR. You have a great advantage over many women, because you already know you have PCOS. It took over 2 years to get my diagnosis. It wasn't until I went to a RE that I was diagnosed. Don't be scared, just find yourself a good RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist). That should help out tremendously and set your mind at ease.
Thank you for your support!! I actually saw a RE who did the final diagnosis and he was so nice!! I am not IR, my insulin was 3.5!! Do you by chance know if glucophage works on someone who is not IR? I actually went to my gyn today because I had awful pain in my lower abdomen, and thought it may be a uti. She did an ultrasound, and thinks either i popped a cyst (new for me) or am ovulating? Who knows--i am still in over my head, but am trusing my doctor!...and people like you! Thank you so much for your time and good luck!
New diagnosis! Help please!
