I am on 850 Metformin rx twice daily, Femara 7.5mg, and Premarin 0.625mg once daily, I also added to the equation about 3 months ago Flax seed oil 3000mg daily, Fish Oil w/ Omega 3 3000mg daily, Folic Acid 400mc daily, Vitamin B12 1000mg daily, Cinnamon 3000mg daily and just yesterday started evening primrose 3000mg daily. I haven't really "asked" my Dr if this was ok tho, I will next week when I go, but does anyone know of this mixture to cause any harm w/ ttc and having PCOS?
4 months clomid(50-150mg)-ovulated=BUST
I month clomid(150mg)+hcG Trigger+IUI= BUST
1 month (5mg)Femara+hcG Trigger+IUI=BUST
Current 7.5mg Femara+ Premarin waiting to O and trigger and IUI=Fingers crossed!!

I mean it could drop it drastically and make you feel dizzy or pass out all together so take care to eat properly and make sure to have some fruit or something small with you at all time just in case. You wouldn't want to be driving and have your sugar bottom out.
That being said dropping your blood sugar over all is the idea...just pay CLOSE attention to how you are feeling and I wouldn't take them together or too close

Shawnee1, I don't know about your dosage of cinnamon. Cinnamon in large doses thins the blood and cause miscarriages. It was used in large doses for abortions. You can google it. I don't remember the website. I cut cinnamon out of my supplements because I have a history of clots. There's a thread on here about it too. I'll see if I can find it for you.
