Can I take Ovulex, Metformin AND prenatal vitamins at the sa Posted: 02-11-07 12:23pm
Can I take Ovulex and Metformin AND
prenatal vitamins at the same time?
I don't know if I'd even need Metformin
anymore. It isn't working -- I still have
ALL the PCOS symptoms and I've been taking
it for years. My current RE, who just
assisted me through this last medicated
cycle, will not answer any of my questions
nor monitor my Metformin dosage. Needless
to say I am not returning to him for care,
however I'm left with this question....
Thank you for your help,
Pamela

It seems that you are experiencing all the
symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS): irregular cycles, no ovulation,
hair growth, and weight gain. It's been
lucky that have been able to become
pregnant 3 times and to deliver 3 babies.
I’m saying this because women with PCOS
usually experience sterility and have an
increased risk for miscarriages. Ovulex is
a natural product and you may take it with
metformin and vitamins. Metformin is an
oral antidiabetic drug used for treating
diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2). It is
believed that women with PCOS have insulin
resistance like that experienced during
DM-2.
