    Hi,

    I was also recently diagnosed and have started metformin (also known as Glucophage) last week. I have a five-year-old daughter conceived naturally after a year of trying. However, during that year I was tested for PCOS and found to have a borderline case of it. I've since been told that it was a miracle that I conceived at all. We were/are trying again but now that I know this about my health, we've decided to focus on that for awhile. Just wanted to let you know that I'm right there with you!

    I'm recently diagnosed and on Metformin as well. Not trying to conceive but my doctor did tell me when she gave me the tablets that if we weren't trying to be extra careful as it can make you very fertile! I'd agree with what you're saying though, focus on the weight loss and eating healthy and the other things should come along as a by-product. Stress doesn't help when it comes to trying to conceive anyway so try not to worry about it too much.
