[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m lean PCOS and metformin did nothing for me. If your doctor said you don’t need it then don’t take it. Women with PCOS tend to respond quite well to IVF. For me they got 22 eggs which led to 6 embryos. Hoping for good things for you, good luck![/quote] Also lean PCOS here, and metformin was NOT recommended for me, since I am not insulin-resistant. To the Pap who indicates that metformin has no side effects, that isn’t necessarily the case. I know several women who encountered lots of GI issues on metformin. I was 36 when I went through IVF, and my retrieval resulted in 22 eggs, 7 embryos, but only 3 were normal. I had one live birth from those 3. Push for ICSI. There can be some issues with egg quality and “hardness” for lack of a better way to put it with the outer membrane, both of which may be connected to PCOS. Watch for the possibility of OHSS. Women with PCOS have a higher likelihood of that occurring after egg retrievals. [/quote]
