I am 35 have insulin dependant diabetes and PCOS. I have recently started on metformin to try and help me ovulate again (clomid next if it doesnt work)as I haven't had a period in 11 years my hormone levels are fine but my testosterone is elevated. I have a 12 year old daughter already but would like to add another member to the family. My question is has anyone had any success with same treatment and would you try again??

I had a 3 year old daughter and trying for a second, was having a lot of trouble and found out I had PCOS, I was on metformin for a bit but wasn't having much luck. After I started living a healthier lifestyle and losing weight it happen d quite fast my on is now 18 months. Everyone is different but I know a fair few people that have PCOS and have falling pregnant, good luck.
I have been losing weight and changed my eating habits. To date I have lost 15kgs. By having the metformin it has also allowed my to decrease my insulin dosage
