try to conceive before looking into adoption? I have already tried Metformin and Clomid for the PCOS and it didnt do anythign but make me sick. Hubby and I have been ttc for 16 mnths (6 mnths not preventing). I had no problem getting pregnant with my daughter, who is from a previous marriage. How long should we "ttc or not prevent" before looking into adoption?

Before you jump to the adoption check with a reproductive doctor. There are lots of other options. IUI’s, an xray to check for blockage, IVF, injections, ect. Do some research and get a referral from your obgyn to see a specialist. Be sure to check with insurance. Some of the costs may be covered. Good luck!
So I’m guessing you were probably on the metformin for less than 2 or 3 months? It’s very important that you take the metformin despite the nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain that you may experience, not only because you are ttc, but also to prevent yourself from developing diabetes or having a miscarriage if and when you do get pregnant (46% of women with PCOS have miscarriages if they don’t take metformin during pregnancy versus 12% of PCOSers who do take met during pregnancy). I have been on metformin for 9 months and the side effects in the beginning were almost too much to bear, as a matter of fact, I stopped taking them after a month, but my doctor talked me into taking it again and toughing it out. So, I am now on it again (9 months as I said) and the first 2 1/2 months were very rough with all the diarrhea and stomach pains and nausea, but they went away after 2 1/2 months. Now I can take 1000mg at a time on an empty stomach and not get sick at all. (I take 2000mg per day). If you start taking it again make sure you start with 500mg and don’t go up to the next highest dosage until you’re used to the dose you’re currently on. This will help reduce the side effect significantly. The reason I’m getting so detailed about the metformin is that it has an 80% chance of regulating your cycles which with give you the same chance of conceiving as any other woman. It can take up to a year to start working. I think it’s just now starting to work for me. My acne is clearing up and my (TMI warning) bowel movements are becoming less frequent and less runny. I’m just waiting to become regular…I think that’s next (I hope!) Clomid works much better if you have been taking met for at least 3 months, so before resorting to adoption, or in conjunction with adoption (because it is a great thing to do) you should try the met/clomid combo. It can work miracles! I wish you the best of luck and here’s a TON of baby dust for you (and me too!)******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
