Haley,

This is just my 2 cents worth, but I would continue to take the Glucophage. I think that was my saving grace. My husband and I were TTC for over a year. I started the Glucophage this last summer. I had no cycles on my own and didn't think that I was even ovulating. I guess I was wrong. Right after the new year, we found out that I was six weeks pregnant. I continued the Glucophage for a couple more weeks until my doctor did some blood work. He said my hormone levels were great and he didn't see the need to continue the Glucophage. He said had they been a little low, he would have continued it through the first trimester. Not the case for me. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and have never felt better in my life. Yes, I am very tired and sick in the mornings, but very well worth it. I also took three rounds of Clomid with no results. Don't get frustrated with this. I know I did and it doesn't help matters any. Just keep in mind that it takes the average couple 1 year to conceive. I don't consider those of us with PCOS the average. Good Luck!
