I agree with you. I am 33 and TTC as well. My doctor has me on
Metformin 2000MG/day. He mentioned that if necessary, injections could
be an option down the road but he wants to give Metformin a chance first
and is pretty confident that this is all I will need. You will need to
give your body time to respond to the Met before you can be sure whether
it will be effective for you.
