Self treating PCOS infertility with Metformin?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:13:46 +0000

Okay before everyone gets on my case about seeing my doctor let me explain. My husband will be leaving shortly for Afghanistan again. We have been trying for a long time to have a baby but I never get my period (never as in, in the last 2 or so years I’ve had it 3 times) it’s kind of difficult. In my husband’s last deployment his dear friend passed away and since then my hubby has been really determined to make the best out of life and go for what he wants.

Well like I said we have been trying, and trying to do it naturally but I never get my period. So recently I have been doing research and I am pretty sure I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and I have seen a lot of info and heard from people in my family that metformin has worked to treat their PCOS and help them concieve. So I was wondering if I got metformin and began taking it would there been an extremely risky side effects? For example, chlomid helps ovulation but if used incorrectly it can cause permenant infertility, is there any risk like that with metformin?

I would go to the doctor but in the army appointments are booked so far behind, and the doctors tend to jerk you around a lot before giving you any sort of help. My husband leaves in a few months and I really want to try something before he goes and I have to wait another year.

My husband and I have been trying for a baby for 19 months after me coming off the Depo injection with no success (I have had my periods back for 13 months). I am looking for advice in the following areas:

- Is it too soon to go to the doctors to start having fertility tests?

- How come with my last period I threw up on the morning it arrived and had felt exhausted for about a week before?

- How can I stop myself feeling so truly devastated & broken hearted every time I get another period?

Any advice would be really appreciated as I am struggling to know what to do. Thank for your replies xxxxx

Ladies, this is a "personal" question – please advice!?

admin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:38:27 +0000

Ladies please could i have some advice. This is a "hard to ask" question, so please could I not have any rude remarks.

I think i have a dose of "thrush" in my female area. And i am really worried about this. I sort of know its nothing overly bad – i.e its treatable. But, obviously the Doctors arent open until the bank holiday weekend is out – so i would just like some ladies to answer me a couple of questions, because since it popped into my mind this morning ive not been able to stop thinking about it.

A – does it effect fertility (Im sorry if this is a silly question)
B – Could i pass it to my partner?
C:What are the symptoms. My "area" is a little smellier than normal, also quite itchy.

Thanks in advance
