How many people have gotten pregnant while using clomid and metformin combo?
Answer:
I too have PCOS and I had irregular or no period at all so trying to conceive was like trying to win the lottery without knowing when or where to buy a ticket!!?? I now have 2 beautiful children and had to have metformin and clomid with both. With my first child it took me only 2 cycles (2 months) and I had not had a period for over a year, but with my second it took almost a whole year with the clomid doses increasing every 3 months although I had not had a period of any regularity for nearly 3 years before I began the clomid again. We had actually come to the conclusion that we were only going to have one and then wouldn't you know it. finally got pregnant. I did find the metformin to have a few side effects...some bad...some good. I lost about 30lbs in 4 motnhs without even trying. That was the good. However, I had to be very cautious about what I ate in the morning. If I ate a poor dietary breakfast I would spend a better portion of my morning and early afternoon running to the bif. I feel that without the combination fo these 2 drugs we would still be childless so keep trying and I do believe that when I relaxed about the whole thing that seemed to be when it happened. Stressing about it can hinder your chances. My specialist told me that there is absolutely no reason that a woman with irregular or no cycle (and no physical issues) should not be able to get pregnant...you just need to find the right combination of medications. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope your dream comes true!
I found a site that just might be able to give you some encouragement... I believe the combination is for patients with PCOS...
Check it out! Good Luck & God Bless!

KEEP TRYING' GOOD LUCK TOO YOU...AND BABY DUST HUN.........
Ohhhh..many people have. Do you have PCOS? They are generally used for that purpose.
Clomid helps you ovulate. Metformin, from what I've heard, can also aid in weight loss (obviously it controls the insulin issue) and THAT, too, can help in ovulation!!
I have PCOS and did Clomid ALONE and it was miraculous (both times!!)..I never did the met since I don't have the insulin issue.
We tried for almost 3yrs to get pregnant with our daughter.
I did 5mths of Clomid and didnt get pregnant.my first month off Clomid I was diagnosed with PCOS and was put on Metformin and got pregnant that month. I was told that Clomid before Metformin is more successful in getting you pregnant rather than combining them. Good luck!!
I had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and was put on Metformin. After 2 months of Metformin only, I was able to conceive! I am now 25 weeks pregnant with a baby girl.
There is a great support site out there called SoulCysters for women with PCOS, many whom use Clomid and Metformin.
