I have PCOS and have been treated with Avandia for the past 3 years. I had no side effects from the Avandia, and after 4 months of that and Clomid for 2 cycles I sucessfully conceived. Now I'm trying for child #2, and my endocrinologist has decided to add Metformin to the mix, saying it should better my chances, along with the Avandia, to become pregnant. In the first 2 weeks on the Metformin I gained 10 lbs, and in the past 3 months I have gained a total of 17 lbs. Nothing in my life has changed, just the fact that I'm taking the Metformin. I asked my doc about it, and he says that he doesn't believe that it's the med causing weight gain, and that it's good for me so he wants me to continue. Anyone have a similar experience with this med? If so, what did you do about it. I don't want to hinder my efforts for becoming preg, but I also don't want to gain any more weight. I'm already overweight as it is.
