New here, new to PCOS, new to TTC, new to everything :)

I have been looking around the web for a nice BB to join on PCOS and TTC, and I thought I'd visit here...hubby and I have only been trying about a month and a half, but I was "accidentally" diagnosed with PCOS two weeks ago (no symptoms other than irregular, so dr. did a blood test). My dr. has put me on metformin to help me ovulate regularly. Was just wondering whether anyone here could share their experience with PCOS and metformin or whether anyone has any advice...or if you just want to say hi as I don't know anyone yet and am eager to meet others "like me"!

Thanks!

I have PCOS too. I tried metformin also. I did not really do anything for me. My periods have never been regular, so what I did to concieve my first son was dtd every other day from the end of one period to the next. That worked for me last time. I am not sure if I will try the same thing for the second time around since we are ttc a girl. Good luck to you!!

Hi, welcome to the boards, you will find everyone really nice and helpful on here, I know I have.
I tried to conceive for over 2 years. I did what the dr.'s told me and nothing worked. So, I went to a nutritionist and he took my blood and put me on a custom special diet. I conceived within one month. That's what worked for me. I hope your journey is short. And that the meds work for you.

Aw, thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the good wishes!

It means a lot to me to have a few people I can chat with about this, my husband of course cares but I don't think he "gets it", he thinks that he's already done "his" part of the deal if you KWIM...but I will give him credit, the poor guy is trying.

The thing is, I am fairly sure I DO ovulate on my own, just not regularly, so hopefully the met will help. Good to know it has worked for others here! I'm kicking it up to 2000 mg a day over the weekend...

to you all, too!!
