I went to an endocrinologist and he gave me the metformin. He said I should have a period just taking that or he would give me clomid. I don't want to take the chance of multiples or twins so I told him I would try the metformin first. And of course with my luck it doesn't work. I have an appointment for a check up Oct 11 so I guess I will see what he says. Whar other tests should I be concerned about? I had the glucose tolerance test and that is when I was referred to an endocrinologist. How long do you think it will take for me to get pregnant taking the clomid? I hope not long it has been kinda frustrating.
