I am after any advice you may be able to give me as I just feel soooo low at the minute.
I have PCOS and take 1500mg metformin for that, also take EPO, Grapefruit juice and Pregnacare tablets. My cycles seem to be getting longer with each one, i am currently CD 23 and still not ovulated. Last cycle was the first month I have ovulated but that was only 7 days prior to af.
Can anyone advice me on trying anything else, I just feel like i will never get my bfp.

Sorry you are having a bad day. Please know that often we do think, "What am I doing wrong, what more can I do" and the thing is, often you are doing everything you can. I used to take Metformin, I have PCO too and Clomid got me ovualting again. Hopefully, the Metformin will help to regulate. You deserve a medal for being on that drug, it isn't easy. Has your Dr talked about Clomid?

Hi hun. I also have PCOS for which I am taking metformin. How long have you been taking it? I was wondering if maybe it hasn't had enough time to settle down. Or maybe you need to have a review with your doctor hun to see if dosage needs adjusting.

Thank you for your replys, I have been taking metformin for 12 months now although it took me 6 months to get up to 1500mg as it really didnt agree with me. I am scared about going to the docs incase they just tell me to go away again as I have only been ttc for 7 months. Do you think they would do anythink for me?

I know 7 months isn't very long in the grand picture but it feels like forever and is getting harder the more i see bfp from ladies who have only been trying 1 or 2 months, please don't get me wrong tho I am very happy for those ladies and wish them a happy and healthy 9 months, just wish it was me!
