A young woman treated with metformin for PCOS … how long until I start ovulating?
My doctor recommended that metformin to treat he thought were signs of PCOS. I was on a steroid medication throughout my childhood to treat asthma, which caused havoc on my endocrine system. Now I'm trying to get pregnant. I wanted to know … as a young woman who show no alarming signs of serious SOP … How long after starting treatment with Metformin can be expected to ovulate as normal? I'll take all the information you have … online personal experience … nothing. I'm desperate … and whenever I ask my doctor, who avoids the question with something anecdotal.
Nobody can say how long it will take (probably used to answering your doctor). The "official" answer is that it can take up to 6 months in the correct dose before starting to have results. However, if you're in the right dose, it should be noted an improvement in the first few months. I got pregnant with metformin after 3 months. If you do not see improvement in their symptoms after 2 or 3 months … ask your doctor for a higher dose. Sounds like they're on the right track. The good news is that it is likely to become pregnant. Here is some information and links PCOS. Good luck. I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. They are usually more knowledgeable about PCOS and the correct treatment. Unfortunately, many doctors are unaware of treatment. Underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going in a insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) in combination with a low carbohydrate diet and exercise. There are some important things to know: 1. Many women "pass" the test IR, but still a positive response to metformin. Nobody knows why exactlly .. My thought is that the test is not a good way of detecting the IR. 2. You should be in high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though I've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are reluctant to 1500 mg dose of the past … but for some of us that more is needed. I do not respond until my dose is around 2000 mg per day. 3. It may take several months in the correct dose, before your body is regulated. 4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you're not trying to get pregnant. Blood, there are increased risks for many things (high pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if treated properly, then the risks are low. When the PCOS is treated properly, all your symptoms do not disappear, but should improve some. It will also be much easier to lose weight (and keep it off). Our bodies against us when trying to lose weight on our own, making it almost impossible to lose weight. There are tons of books about PCOS and dieting. There are two I recommend. Here are the links to Amazon for: http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0809224275/ … … I also recommend http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0007131844/ a couple websites: http://pcos.itgo.com/ http://www.inciid.org/faq.php?cat=infert … http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhp … This one is a large bulletin board where you can ask all your PCOS questions or just chat with women who are also dealing with PCOS. Good luck.
