    I ovulated and got pregnant with just metformin. Clomid did not work for me. So yes you can ovulate just with metformin! Yay!!

    Really??  I don't have IR but my endocrinoligist (not RE) said we could try it to regulate my cycles...you just gave me lots of hope!

    There is hope. I had no idea what metformin did. I have PCOS and so my doctor put me on Metformin to treat it. Well 6 weeks later I was pregnant without having a menstrual cycle for a whole year. All I can say is I was shocked and had to plan a wedding in 4 weeks..lol... With my daughter We tried for almost 2 years...clomid and metformin... I ran out of clomid and 6 weeks later with just metformin I was pregnant. Yay for metformin..... I had no idea!!

    Wow!  That's incredible!  Did you take 2000 mg?  i was just researching it the other day because I was feeling a little uneasy about taking something that I didn't "need" for insulin reasons...I totally trust my Dr. but needed reassurance.  There were some studies that showed it helping women get pregnant.  After everything I have done and all of the money we have spent, it's hard to believe that a $4 dollar drug could really help me!  BUT, I don't want to get my hopes up too high!
