Metformin
polycystic ovary syndrome
"I'm 28, I was diagnosed with PCOS at 27 after no periods for 4 months (usually regular), GP prescribed Metformin & told me to lose weight. I’ve been taking Metformin since late November 2016 (about 8 weeks now) & my period arrived (with a vengeance) the first week of January 2017, so about 6 weeks after starting. Can’t tell if it was the pills but I like to think it helped. Metformin makes me nauseous sometimes, I snack less. I occasionally have upset stomach & diarrhoea. I make sure I’m near a toilet before eating a proper meal. I drink lots of water, & don’t take any other pills. It’s hard not to worry but follow the plan and take it easy on yourself. I’m glad I was given Metformin & will continue to take it. All the best xxx"
