Oooooo sounds good for u. I already ovulate, so they reckon clomid will increase my chances by making the eggs better, and help with my cycle. XXX

Hi Aimz

I've been on Metformin for some time now officially for about 2 years but had a gap then started again (due to reasons in my journal - too lengthy for here)... I am now back on 850mg twice daily.

I had a Lap about 12 months ago now and am due another hopefully before crimbo! My periods have have gone from ridiculous 90-100 day cycles to 40-45, i've also lost 3.5 stone now (between Metformin and the gym)

I also officially ovulated for the first time last month and again early this week...

I am now en-route to potentiall combine this with clomid for ultra effect!

IT takes time for the Metformin to work and boy are this some, not so nice side affects but fingers crossed they are pushing me in the right direction.

A bit of advice... get your self a chart and a thermometer and start temping too, this will prevent them from sending you away again to do it.

They will want to see with the tempinig if you are actually popping an egg which will help determine where they direct you next.

It's long winded answer but hope it helps!
