I'm ovulating again after taking metformin The bad news is that I've had and early miscarriage.
Have been TTC #2 for 2 1/2 years. My periods had been erratic, annovulatory and my GP was treating me for PCOS with metformin which I only been taking for a few weeks. Mid may I had left sided abdo pain, thought it could have been an ovarian cyst. Colleague at work scanned me to see and to exclude ectopic. No cyst, no pregnancy {tubal or interuterine) but at his insistence I had a Beta HCg done. Period started 2 days later. Pain went. Period heavy, heavier than normal but I assumed it had something to do with metformin. Went away on holiday. Had my bloods reviewed today (yes I know I'm very lax) and shockingly the Beta HCG was positive!!! Transpires heavy period was a very early miscarriage Beta HCG negative today. Bit stunned really. Anybody else experienced this.

I'm sorry to hear that you miscarried I have no knowledge of this, and can only imagine you are stunned. But as much as you can, try and see the positive that you ovulated and conceived, even if this one didn't stick. Please don't feel I'm being flippant...I too have PCOS and suspect my periods are annovulatory. So it's good news that you successfully ovulated. Maybe next time will be a sticky bean and all will be well.

To be honest Miffles, the fact that I'd got pregnant meant I'd ovulated and this was the first thought that entered my head so no you're not being flippant at all. I mean how could I grieve for something I didn't know I'd lost right? I was fine, stunned but fine until I told my husband when he came home from work and then I had a few tears. When you've been trying for so long you forget that conception is actually possible . So we are looking at the positives, at least everything is starting to rumble into life again. Thank you for your kind words
