I am currently pregnant but was diagnosed with pcos before i fell pregnant naturally and was actually waiting for af to arrive to start Metformin, my question is this... after i have this baby i wouldnt want to go back to irrigular cycles and waiting for af to turn up, i cant take the pill as i take sevear migraines so anything like that is out the window, i wanted to know can i request my metformin after the birth to regulate my cycles and to reduce the pcos symptoms? i have said i dont want anymore kids after this one [i already have a daughter] but i said that after her too! LOL i dont want to have to go through another 17 months of TTC if i do decided to go for another baby, sorry this is very long winded but i was just wondering what they will do? x

Hi hun,

I was diagnosed with PCOS aged 20 but was not given any treatment as I was considered "too young" (I wont get into this one!!!) I fell pg at 25 after about 16/17 months of trying. I did used to only have about 2 AF's a year but since having LO, who is now 9 months, I have had AF every month. So you may find that after having baby your cycle corrects itself also?

Hope all goes ok
xx

Mine went back to normal after havimg my DS however it didnt last for me, I think they were regular for about 6-9 months and then they stopped again.
Im not sure what the doc will do, its certainly worth asking about metformin

thanks for the replys ladies but i already have a daughter and af never returned to normal after her, lucky if i had af every 50 odd days, not sure what to do, might ask gp once LO is born as i do want regular af without pill as i cant take it. thanks for your replys anyway. xxx

mine never returned to normal. with dd1 i was on the injection and then the combined pill so im not sure how things would have gone if it had all been natural. when i came off the pill to ttc dd2 i didnt have a period at all, i got pregnant after 6 months with no af. after dd2 i ddint have af for 13 months and now they are any thing between 14 and 50 days, so pretty rgular for me, actualy i think this is the most regular i have ever been! xx
