Looking for people using Metformin

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I want to find others that have had success conceiving while using Metformin. I am also trying to find other ways that can help me conceive.

Hi there, I am also on Metformin 1000mg daily. I am also using Provera to bring on bleed and then Clomid 50 mg. I just did my first cycle and I am getting ready for my next one. Did not O on the first cycle but did get results from Clomid so they are keeping my dose the same. I also have PCOS, but not insulin resistant. My dr. put me on the the Metformin though becauses it helps with the clomid and women with PCOS. This is why my dose is only 1000mg per day. I also have been irregular since I was 15. Periods 2-4 per year on my own.

Hi

I am new to the forum!! I am on 1500mg Metformin per day!

I have conceived once but mc in Jan!! Been on Metformin for the 5 years!

I am also insulin resistant! Am hoping my new FS will increase my dosage!!

As a matter of interest which side ovary & tube did you lose?

I am going onto a purely organic diet (been partial for the last couple of weeks) as from Monday, hoping this will also help!

Good luck!

Hi, haven't been on the forum for a while, had to concentrate all our energy on Dh's illness but we are planning to get back on track soon.
I take 1500 mg Metformin daily, I have PCOS too. Have had two previous miscarriages but was not on the Metformin back then. I have also lost a lot of weight since I started taking them.
