Metformin/clomid & Ttc??? Need Help Posted: 01-19-06 21:30pm
Hi friends,
i went to see my gyn doc on 19/01/2006,
since I have not got my period or a
positive urine test for pregnancy. He
asked me to start cycle #2 of clomid.
This time he has added metformin for 4
weeks.
My medications:
metformin - 1500g daily for 4 weeks
(3 x 500g pill)
clomid - 50g daily from day 2 to
day 6 of period (1 x 50g pill)
dhaphagus - 20g daily from 19/01/2006
to 23/01/2005 (2 x 10g pill)
he also told me that even if I was
pregnant, the medicines have no bad effect
on the baby. He told me to take the
medicines and the dhaphagus is to jump
start my period. I should get my period
within a week of stopping the dhaphagus
medicine and then carry on with clomid. I
should start counting from the first day
the period comes to the 12 th day and go
back for an ultrascan on the 12th day
itself. The scan could tell whether I am
ovulating and when r my fertile days to
try for baby.
But if the period didn't come within the
week, I should go back and see him, cos I
could be pregnant or the medicine is not
working for me and he would give me
something stronger.
My question:
has anyone taken clomid and metformin
together and has become pregnant
immediately or it's still a waiting
game.
What are the side effects of this
medications that I am taking right now?
Please someone respond. Thanks in
advance!

I don't know why he would start you out on
metformin and clomid all at once. You
need to be on metformin for about 3 months
before it will regulate you. Trust me, I
have pcos. Metformin is a miracle drug.
I have had regular periods since I
started taking metformin. I would say
you should give it three months then start
the clomid for the best results. I have
used them together, but I got my bfp on
metformin alone.
