Metformin and Estrace....will I still ovulate?
Hi all, I'm newer here and thought this would be a great place to ask and hopefully get some answers/advice. Long story short I have PCOS and just started (last week) metformin. I also had a uterine tissue growth and polyp removed last week Friday. Because we obviously don't want the growth to grow back my ob prescribed me Estrace, an estrogen med to take for 30 days, which I will end in taking Provera to bring on a period. My question is, since this is my first 'cycle' with metformin will I still ovulate while also taking Estrace? It would just be nice to know that I'm not taking the metformin for nothing this cycle and see if the metformin is working for me by regulating me. I did 500mg for a week which made me a bit nauseous at first but got better after a few days. Yesterday is when I went up to 1000mg, two 500mg pills a day, one in the morning and one at night. Today after taking my morning pill I feel like complete dog crap. I feel like I can't stop shaking, I'm hungry and feel like I need to eat because I am hypoglycemic, but yet fell sick to my stomach so nothing sounds good. I know the side effects aren't supposed to last long, but I'll be so upset if I am taking the metfromin now for nothing. (When I say taking the metformin now for nothing is because my ob said to try metformin for three cycles to see if it works by regulating me, if not then we will go to Femara. I just don't want to waste a cycle if that makes sense.) Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
