If I have polycystic ovaries(which I do) and am taking Metformin, What are my chances of getting pregnant?


I had a miscarriage about three years ago. My husband and I have been trying ever since(3 years). Recently, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and found out that I miscarried because of it. I started taking Metformin for the Polycystic ovaries about a week ago, I know it takes a couple of months to completely work, so of course, I am going to continue to take it until my Doctor says otherwise. I was just wondering, besides the three months or so it takes for the Metformin to work, how long will it take me to get pregnant? And also, will my doctor suggest fertility drugs after the three months on the Metformin or will he wait until we see any results? I know this is alot to ask, so any educated answers, or any help at all will be greatly appreciated. After three years, I am desperate to become pregnant and I feel this is the time to do something about it. Thank you very much for any help--Alanna/21

Answers:
I understand what a shock it is to learn that the PCOS caused a miscarriage, but I also know what a joy it is when you fall pregnant after having it severely. I was unlucky, I not only got PCOS, but got endometriosis as well. My doctor was going to put me on the Metformin, but never got a chance to start it. My girlfriend was only on the metformin for a month when she unexpectedly fell pregnant. Stop worrying about whether you will have a baby or not, and just make love for fun, it will make it easier to fall pregnant, because you won't be putting the stress on your body that you NEED to fall pregnant.
All I can say is good luck with it all, but miracles do happen, I'm 10 weeks pregnant with a very healthy baby, and my body naturally cleared out the cysts off my ovaries in preparation for the baby. Keep your chin up and stay positive.
METFORMIN is for Diabetics.. I know because I take it.. you must mean something else.
