I have PCOS(diagnosed 3months ago) and
havent had a period for 7 months (its
still not clear if i am able to have
children at all until i see my doctor for
more info on the 11the jan)
My doctor has advised me to take metformin
and i have almost finished my 2 month
trial.
I just wanted to know if i can indeed
become pregnant whilest on this drug,and
if i am (which is a possibility as my self
and my partner have un protected sex)
Can anyone help me or advise me any more
on this matter?
I would really appreciate all your views
and thoughts,Thank youuuu

i believe you can get pregnant on this
drug. i have pcos too, but have only been
given bc pills to try to level out my
hormones. i do know of one person who has
pcos and was on it. she is pregnant now
and said that she did indeed become
pregnant while taking the drug and was
actually told she could continue to take
it during the first month or so of
pregnancy.

really! well that is fab news for her ans
i am really pleased for her.
Do you know if she was having periods
though? as i am not but i am told that you
can still ovulate without a period :S as i
said there is a chance i may be pregnant
so i wouldnt really have a period if i
were any way! all soooo confusing.

you should take a pregnancy test to be
sure. and if you are trying to conceive
you can join babyfit.com it's a great
and encouraging website (and it's free).
there are quite a few women on there that
have pcos and are or are trying to get
pregnant. you can ask them questions
about it. good luck! i hope everything
goes well!

I have three children and I have PCOS. I
found out that I had it about 2 months
after I had my first baby (6 years ago). I
also have had lots of problems with missed
periods. I have gone as long as 8 months
without having one. I found out that I had
PCOS because I was unable to breastfeed
and the doctors did a whole bunch of
tests. Just recently I have found out that
this is a common side affect with PCOS if
you have the side affect of breast
atrophy. I was not able to produce milk
for any of my children. But just to let
you know, I got pregnant with my second on
Metformin and stayed on it, in a low dose,
for my entire pregnancy. It was my best
pregnancy and birth. I would definately
stay on the metfomin, but I would also
recomend doing a cleans for you entire
body. I did one right before I got
pregnant with my third. I am now able to
manage my PCOS with diet, excersize, and
natural suppliments. But I think that I
was only able to do this due to the
cleans. Don't give up, and don't loose
hope. Just because we PCOS women have to
work harder to conceve and be healthy,
dosn't mean that in the end it wasn't all
worth it. Everything in life is meant to
learn and grow from. You're already one
step ahead in just knowing that you have
PCOS.

three children! thats great!
congratulations on all your little bundles
of joy.
at the risk of sounding foolish what is a
cleans? and i am currently in my 7th month
of no period,but as we are sort of trying
i wouldnt know if i were or not untill i
go and see my doctor next week.But also
the last few days i have had a feeling
that i dont think i have had before,its
like i am going to come on my period but
there is not sign of it yet.also my lower
back is aching which i havent had before
and i just ache in my lower abs/ovaries
and that area! does this mean the
metformin is working? :S
