I've been on metformin for 3 months and no periods, no changes. I called my OBGYN and she said that was normal on metformin and just continue to take the metformin. I didn't like that idea, she had told me previously how bad it was not to have a cycle and how much damage it can do to your body. So I decided it was time for a second opinon.
I went to a new OBGYN specializing in infertility issues on friday. I gave him my history and my current situation and medications list. He agreed it wasn't normal to miss periods for several months and we needed to induce one. I've been on progesterone before and I really don't care for it, it makes me rather cranky. But it's necessary to have a period so here we go again.
The new doctor suggested I take progestrone to get a cycle going again, start on some prental vitamins and after a month or two of this, we will start clomid and that should really help.
He suggested I continue metformin, hopefully it helps lose weight. I've lost about 10 lbs in the last 3 months, it's not much but it's a start right?
I really don't care for taking pills or medications, allergy medications and aleve is about all I'll take. But PCOS and all these issues have made me take more, and if that's what has to be done to have a baby i'll do it. I've been reasearching every medication I'm on and I feel they are safe. I'm currently taking 8 pills a day, 8! Ridiculous. But 3 metformin, 2 allergy meds, 2 prenatal and 1 progesterone, making me feel like a drug addict!
