PCOS/ Metformin

Ok per one of my readers comments:
I've heard that some have had good success with metformin...but since I am currently not exhibiting any signs of insulin resistance, I don't know that I can get anyone to sign off.


Several of my doctors were the same way. My pcp, infertility specialist, ob- gyn, and others. Anyway I ended up hearing from a girl I work with that her sister has PCOS and had seek treatment at the Allegheny General Hosp in Pittsburgh, pa. So I got her info and called had an appointment and she gave me a slip to have blood drawn and for about 30 different test to be done. I could not tell what all they were...I just know they must have been important. Anyway she confirmed YES I do have PCOS ( we all knew that but she likes to have her on proof) & I had no signs of insulin resistance. Also I was deficient of vitamin b & d. And my thyroid was under active which all my other doctors said I was on the verge of be under active. She was all for me trying metformin... I am only on 1000 mg a day. So you may need to just call and talk to some of the Endocrinologist in your area. I know that gaining the weight really stinks... I went from a size 3/4 to I will not even mention. But my husband is the best... He tells me he loves me no matter what. He says I look as good as I did when we got married. What a kiss butt!!
Anyway I got to go... so tired...cold is taking everything I got.
