Hiya
I been on metformin for about 7 years. I was TTC when I was on it but my ex had a 0 count too so nothing was happening. The metformin was brill for me though, I lost 5 stones and started having periods every 3 mths (not bad as I was not having any before).

years later in a new relationship and I got a BFP even though I was not TTC.

I have asked to stay on it to control my symptoms and to help ward off diabetes in later life. I have a new GP an I am hoping she goes for it, she has said yes for now but said she wants to look into it. I don't want to give up my favorite drug
