hi, i don't know your name so I can't address to you. thank you so much for the info and congratualtions on your baby girl.I have already done 4 months of clomid at 100 mg. But I have not combined the metformin and clomid together. I have used up 4 out of my 8 trys on clomid so my doctor wanted me to try the metformin first than possibly combine them later. thank you for your letter. amber
