Hi, Nicolette,

Welcome to the board! My bloodwork showed that I had no problems with my insulin, but I do have a fairly substantial case of PCOS. My doctor told me to try the Metformin anyway. They put me on it for a while and just checked my liver function to make sure it was not hurting me. I am still on it, 1500 mg daily.

I bought a CBEFM and got a peak reading on cd 28. I did ovulate, and conceived. Unfortunately, my doctor was not super encouraging at first because of the late ovulation. They told me late ovulations had about a 50/50 chance of miscarriage, because of "bad eggs". It scared me to death, and I'm still very nervous, but I'm doing great at this point. We found a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks, and the doctors couldn't be any more encouraging.

The point is, don't let the higher miscarriage risk scare you into not TTC on a cycle. I took that advice from some other girls on this board, and couldn't be happier. Good luck!!
