"Tried the metformin three times to help me get pregnant. I apparently get a very odd side effect where I become like a zombie. I can't work, can't think, can't do anything. Just very fuzzy-headed. Someone would tell me something and I'd forget it before the whole sentence was out of their mouth. It did give me diarrhea but the inability to function made this impossible for me to take more than three days."

"I was given metformin by my doctor two 500mg twice a day as I have PCOS and never had regular periods or even ovulated. I’ve recently lost some weight and my periods have come back each month. I’m 27 and 21 stone we’ve been trying for a baby for over a year it’s my second month taking metformin and I’ve ovulated as it was confirmed with a blood test. I’m testing my urine everyday with ovulation strips and tracking everything…good luck to all! X"

"My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 17 months. As directed by my doctor I have been taking metformin for 1 week, 500mg. Today I took the second 500mg. I have not lost any weight, no side effects at all. I will be starting Clomid on Saturday for the first time, I’m hoping the combination will bring on our BFP (big fat positive pregnancy test)!"

"So the purpose of my doctor putting me on this medication was so that I’m able to ovulate. She said my lack of ovulation MAY be caused by PCOS but she’s not sure because I don’t have any of the symptoms except for not ovulating. So far I’ve only been on this for about 3 days now. I’ve had stomach aches here and there but lots of trips to the bathroom. Today after the 3rd day I noticed when I was done using the bathroom I was spotting. I find this really strange because I have already gotten my period this month …is this normal ? Right now I’m on a dosage of 750 and will increase to 1500 next week. My goal is to ovulate so that I’m able to have a baby :) will keep you all posted"
