metformin and clomide

ald · Jul 18th, 2008, 17:37 PM

I am currently on metformin 1500 per day for pcos and dont think i am ovulating. Would it be my normal doctor that prescribs clomid or would i need to be refered to a specialist?

clomid is usually the first infertility treatment prescribed. I was able to get it from my gyno.

Hi,
sorry about your loss.

I got pregnant on metformin last year, since diagnosed with pcos in 2002. but lost my baby when i was 8months preganant via c section. it hurts so bad, ecpecially after trying all these years. however i have bounced back, thanks to God and want to try again. yes i think met really works if taken with regular exercise.

my gyno would not give me clomid also. I have recently moved to turkey and i was able to buy clomid over the counter at the pharmacy. It is a little bit expensive but if it increases my chances for a baby i will pay any amount, so for anyone whos gyno wont give you clomid book yourself to turkey and buy them legally .. good luck to everyone

HI everyone
I have been ttc for 1.5yrs now with pcos. my husband and i have just seen a fertility specialist and he put me on 1500mg of metformin(starting at 500mg then over 3wks getting to 1500mg so side effects are less) and 100mg chlomid. i start my 1st round of chlomid tomorrow. he put me on it straight away. it hurts soo much to see the negative results each month. i just pray it finally works. it helps to know that others are going through the same thing and are having success. i wish all the best of luck. we'll get through it.

Hi there I have been trying to conceive since June 08 and Recently found out I have PCOS. I started taking Metformin (glucophage) 1000mg 2 months ago and started my first round of clomid 100mg this cycle days 3-7 I went for an u/s on cd11 and I had 5 egg follicles my gyn advised me to abstain this month because of the risks involved with multiple birth but I have waited so long so I honestly would love more than 1 if I am blessed! I am now in tww so will keep you updated. ***Baby Dust*** To all of you xxx
