Have PCOS, Trying To Conceive. Took Folic Acid, Primose Oil, Waiting To Start Metformin. Is This The Current Treatment?
Hi I was diagnosed with pcos in August 2013 after a miscarriage in November 2012 and long spells such as 6 amd 3 months between periods. I really want to get pregnant ASAP and am currently taking folic acid and evening primrose oil and waiting to start metformin. Is there anything else I can do to help get pregnant quicker?
Hi, Thanks for the query. Poly cystic ovary disease presents with irregular periods, anovulation, insulin resistance etc. Metformin helps in treating the insulin resistance. The possibility of pregnancy depends on whether ovulation is occurring or not. As you are having irregular periods, it is difficult to guess the period of ovulation. So, after getting your periods, track the ovulation either by kit or by physiological methods.

If needed you can take tablets to induce withdrawal bleeding and for ovulation induction with your doctor's advice. Take care.
