PCOS and ttc? Has anyone with PCOS done this before?

Question

I have had 2 miscarriages and since then my period are CRAZY so my doctor put me on Metformin 500mg twice a day for about 6 months and then just added Clomid 100mg for 5 days...I just took my last dose on Saturday and I have to go in on the 22nd for a blood test to check my progesterone levels to see if I ovulated this month...Has anyone with PCOS taken BOTH Metformin and Clomid at the same time and gotten Pregnant after taking Clomid for only 1 month?

ALSO... I BREAK OUT IN HIVES OFTEN ...I THINK BECAUSE OF MY HORMONE CHANGES....DOES ANYONE ELSE DO THIS?

Answer 1

Hives usually indicate an allergic reaction of some kind you should talk with your doctor because you may be allergic to some of your medication. I have PCOS and I have never broken out into Hives from taking any of my medication.

Answer 2

Nope sorry never had a hive in my life.

But as far as the Metformin and Clomid, when ttc #1, Doc put me on Metformin for 3 months, then added Clomid on the 3rd and said to start TTC then, so we did, and yep 1st try with both Metformin and Clomid worked, resulting in a gorgeous baby girl who is now 5½yrs old, and I had a high miscarriage rate from before and stayed on metformin for the 1st trimester and I believe that's what made it possible. after another m/c a year after daughter's birth (no metformin) then conceived again another year later but as soon as I know I was pg - started metformin and now my 2nd lil girl is 3yrs old. and TTC #3 now and again on Metformin and Clomid but not so lucky yet (on 4th cycle).
