many people do loose weight on MET. The Dr. told me that met could potentially help me loose 20% of my excess weight. SO if you can tolerate it I would get back on it. HEHE.

Welcom to soulcysters. There aremany women on this board who have had children either by birth or adoption.

see ya around the boards

Hi Ali! i just started coming to this site also. I am 29 going on 30. I have had PCO since I was 15. The metformin is great but I did not get pregnant on it. I was on Avandia and Clomid. They had to give me 250mg a day of Clomid which the norm is 50mg. But I have twin boys that are 27 months now. There is hope you just have to find the right doctor. If you go on clomid make sure your not afraid to have more then one. Good luck!!!!
