Metformin and clomid....please help

[angel-pink]

Had a plan but got pg before I managed to see it out in full swing but been reading about insulin resistance and I do sound like I am I was gonna take 50 g of clomid but now I'm thinking of having metformin as well what sways better I'm confused any advice or outcomes with gender on your babies gender would be great....... I have no trouble conceiving in fact I have 6 boys but they are all boys and I really would like a girl also will metformin lower testosterone ? X

think I read that it's sways pink but I could be mistaken. I'll let the pros weigh in, sure they'll get to you soon :)

Although I have a personal friend that was on it for pcos and has triple boys, no fertility drugs lol

They both sway pink and are often used together. Go for it!

THey both sway pink. We haven't been tracking results with Met because I suspect they'd be misleading, as many of the gals on it may be strongly set for boys to start out with so it may be "pinker" than the numbers would show.

You can take them both together.

Yes, Met lowers blood sugar and testosterone.

I have met here atomic. What dosage and frequency do you think?

[atomic sagebrush]

What did you take before???

[hopeful13]

I didn't atomic. Was on dhea

[atomic sagebrush]

Most people do 1000 but I do not know how all Met is dosed or if it always comes in the same formulation. A few have done 500, a few have done 2000

[angel-pink]

Atomic you know what you said in my plan about insulin resistant ...well you seem bang on sugar at 12.7 gotta be tested next week again then plan of action will be placed before I have gestational diabetes x

[atomic sagebrush]

I hope you pull thru the next test ok and don't ahve to do insulin!! I hear that sucks.

Metformin comes in 500mg or 1000mg. I've been on it for 7 years now. You should start out taking 500 once a day for about a week then move up to two of the 500's a day. Always with meals. Metformin is known to cause upset belly/diarrhea and it does in everyone I've known who take it. Some people take as much as 1500-2000 mg/day. I was on 2000 for a couple years but my stomach couldn't handle it anymore. This is really something you shouldn't take without a prescription though. If I were you I would do no more than 500 mg one time a day.

Yes thank you that is what I meant. I just forgot the extra 0 at the end. Sorry for confusion I had just been discussing Clomid and had a "brain fart" LOL. :)

[hopeful13]

So every day or just the Clomid days

[luvmyfam]

Everyday
