So I have pcos and was recently put it metformin 500mg 2x a day and was wondering if anyone has had any success story…

You're welcome! Good luck on your journey ❤

Thank You I Will! ♥️

Call your health insurance company or anyone you're interested in and ask them what they cover for TTC. Also I think you just ask if your health insurance has an FSA (flexible spending account) plan and what the terms of it are

And how would I go about asking if they would cover them?

I have blue shield through my job.

What insurance do you have?

@jasminejasso20 yea, it really sucks for tracking ovulation.

But if you have a flexible spending account through insurance you can use it for TTC items. It covers vitamins too. I dont know if straight insurance does though.

@boymomrd I usually have max 3 periods

That's how mine is but this past cycle I had I actually ovulated which was a shocker! And my cycle was 62 days

Every now and then I would. I would have maybe 3-4 periods a year

Because of the PCOS though it was hard to track cause my cycle could be anywhere from 29 to 50+ days 😢 so I never really could test regularly

@boymomrd oh wow I didn't know insurance would cover it, did you ever ovulate on your own without meds

I used the clearblue digital cause it was covered by my insurance plan through my FSA

What ovulation test did you use if Yu don't mind me asking

Mostly just testing.

We're You Testing Or Temping?

Yea, stomach upset is definitely a side effect. And a nasty one lol

Our miracle boy just turned 1 so I'm not actively TTC atm (not really preventing either) but when we do start actively trying I'm going right back on Metformin

@boymomrd Yea I've Been Having The Nausea And Dizziness And Heartburn.... I Started My period And I Wasn't Sure If It Was something That Happened With The Metformin Once It Starts Working but that's Good For Me

@jasminejasso20 The worst side effect I got was nausea and just general tummy upset with heartburn. I also had some dizziness but it wasn't as bad. I couldn't keep anything down except yogurt

That Gives Me Hope! I'm Also On a Pill To Help Regulate My Thyroid Levels So I'm Hoping I Get Good Results On Both.... What Side Effect Did Yu Get With Metformin?

After 5 years of trying unsuccessfully I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. I conceived after only 2 months on Metformin. Same dosage you are on. Sending baby dust your way.
