I've had pcos since I'm 11 years old. In addition to it I've had all
sorts of GYN problems. I've been on metformin for a little over three
years now. Not only has it changed my life for the better, I just found
out today that I'm pregnant and I'm 39 years old. My reproductive
endocrinologist said he thought I was not ovulating and my prolactin was
too high. But after only 4 mos of trying, using only metformin I may
actually have the child I never thought I would.
Don't get discouraged. Metformin dosage is important, I had to get up
to 1850 mg a day.
Good luck to you!
