With the injections the Drs said they had more control over it and said they would just stop the injections if more than 3 folicals were growing, it would be the same with clomid but not as much control because once you have aken the pills you can't take them back again!
If I didn't respond to the clomid is there a better chance of responding to the injections?
Does metformin sway girl?
And side effects on metformin?
Metformin sways girl but I don't think there are any clear stats on it.
You need to start it slowly to minimize side effects like nausea and diarrhea. I started 1 tablet of 500mg per day for 5 days then went to 2 for 5 days and then up to 3 a day. I take it right after my meal, taking it with food reduces side effects. I have been pretty lucky though as I didn't get many. There is also a slow release version that is the same dose as the 3 I take but you just have it once a day. The dr was going to swap me over after seeing how well I tolerated the met.
You are much more likely to respond to injections. It is very unlikely they won't work. I found the side effects minimal, waaay better than those from Clomid. If they plan to monitor you that closely I think you'll respond very well.
I think Metformin has a significant pink sway effect. It does have unpleasant side effects that are common, as purple described, and the ER version is generally better tolerated.
Injections don't sway blue to my knowledge.
Yes starting the same way 500mg at dinner every night for a week then adding another 500mg for a week then when I go back for my scan I'm being upped to 2 x850mg tabs a day, unless I cannot tolerate them, but they don't think I will have that problem as I didn't have any side effects with clomid,Quote:

2x 850mg is good if you are also only having 2 meals for your sway. I still had 3 meals because I couldn't skip breakfast completely.
I haven't eaten breakfast in years long before swaying
Whether you have side effects with met has nothing to do with Clomid, they do different things entirely
