We tried to refrain from sex for days and even weeks but it didn't help. Worst part is, there were empty hopes - I thought I was pregnant but in the end I wasn't. It's really frustrating and I understand that. I was in Yahoo Answers and in this section quite some time ago and I ask a question similar to yours and a person recommended me a book. It's entitled "Getting Pregnant Bible". I swear it's like a gift from God! It teaches stuffs like the seven things you need to do before even you try to get pregnant to ensure a healthy pregnancy; the appropriate diet to conceive; how to increase your husband's sperm count; the ovulation cycle and many others! I am already having my 4th child now! I really recommend that you try reading this book out. Also, they are currently giving free bonus books like fertility secrets and choosing your baby gender! It's for a limited time only! Learn more about it here: Lots of baby dust and good luck =) P.S: I just found out it was featured in The Oprah Winfrey Show recently!"

BobcatChick replied: "Yes it is. I have PCOS and have been taking Glucophage XR (Metamorphin is the generic) for years now. I take 2000mg/day. To explain what Glucophage does, I need to help you understand what PCOS is. Women with PCOS are almost always insulin resistant, which means that their bodies try to compensate by “overproducing” insulin. (Insulin resistance can be detected by a blood test of fasting serum levels of glucose and insulin.) High insulin levels produce excess male hormones by increasing androgen production by the ovaries leading to more and more PCOS symptoms. Androgens are male hormones such as testosterone. High insulin levels also increase the production of LH by the pituitary gland. The high LH in turn leads to an even higher level of male hormones. In several recent studies, Glucophage has shown effectiveness in inducing ovulation in some women with PCOS by lowering both LH and male hormone levels. Now, having said that, note that the major symptom of PCOS is high insulin levels. The goal is to decrease them. And what do carbs do? They raise your insulin level. So, the best diet...one actually created for PCOS sufferers is SugarBusters. It's wonderful and helped me, along with Glucophage, to lose about 20-30lbs. If you have PCOS you may or may not have trouble getting pregnant. I have two kids and never had a problem getting pregnant. My mother and father only have me and it took them six years. Everyone is different. I would tell you just not to give up. Yes, it is safe to get pregnant while taking the drug. It's in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. However, you should still talk to your doctor if you are pregnant. Also, it does pass to the breast milk, so make sure you talk to your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Now, the heavy bleeding. The only thing that will stop the heavy bleeding is keeping your insulin levels down month over month so your male hormones decrease and your female hormones increase, thus inducing a monthly period. The bleeding is heavy because when you do have a period, it's likely several periods in one. When I go a few months without a period, my doctor prescribes a hormone pill that I take for a week that starts my period. The most important thing to do is to take the Glucophage/Metamorphin every single day. When you first start taking it, it can cause some bad cramps and bad poopies, so you might ask about taking the XR/ER version, which is an extended release version. That helps get rid of those symptoms. Also, it's important to exercise. I found that I need about 240 minutes of cardio every week for it to make a difference. Do your best to get as close to possible as that. And also strength train. Muscle burns more calories than fat. Hope this helps. Good Luck!"
