anyone taking Glucophage for fertility?

I do take this medication to help balance out my insulin because I have PCOS.

I also have to take clomid along with it to become pregnant. Usually Glucophage is not the single answer.

Chart your basal body temp to make sure you are even ovulating will help the doctors to see more of what is going on with your body. You can google it or just go to fertilityfriend.com .

Good luck!! Lots of baby dust being sent your way. I have been pregnant 6 times so consider myself knowlegable on the subject somewhat :-)

i am right there with you. i am struggling with my metformin and i am only at 1000mg. when i first started it months ago i ended up stopping b/c i felt generally ill, but only had mild diarrhea. the general ill feeling was enought to make me incapable of day-to-day stuff. i was functioning at abt 60%. so i stopped and started again a few months later. it has been better this time around although i still have my bad days of feeling nausea and sometimes vomitting. i also get a bit irritable and moody and maybe that has to do with my blood sugar.

what i think has helped is taking it with a healthy meal. if i don't have enough food in my system i get sooo sick. i take it at dinner time which has helped. i take an extra supplement of b vitamin.

i do agree with the first answerer. metformin alone has not been enough for me and i am going to add clomid. it helps to balance th body but not enough for me to ovulate on day 14. last month i o'd on day 30 something. i also thin as sick as it makes you, you might as well add clomid to increase your chances.

i hate metformin. it is like a dirty trick... you get all the sickness of being pregnant without the baby. but hey, if it works it'll be worth it.

all the best to you!!! lots of baby dust.

I've only known people to get that medication if they are diabetics. Didn't know it was used for fertility.
