Thanks for all the info. I feel it's more than I can get from my doc. I just came from my gyn. I'm only on 1000 mg. of met. I have been for 3 years now. When I first went on met I felt great. I lost a little weight and most of it was from my stomach which was great. I actually felt normal and not like I had a pregnant belly. I only lost about 30 pounds and then the weight loss stopped. Through time it's getting harder to keep the weight off. I'm also getting lots of yeast infections. I asked if she would up the dose and she said that if I'm ovulating I don't need a higher dose. Is that true? What other reasons besides ovulation would there be to increase the dose? I'm not ttc. I just want to keep my weight under control and be healthy. Right now I'm 5' 7" and 168 lbs. most of which is in my stomach. It's so uncomfortable not to mention hard to buy clothes. I just started working in a clothing store. We have to wear their clothes and look nice which is difficult for me when my belly is bigger than my boobs. It's hard to find anything that fits right. My gyn seems to know about PCOS but I've been thinking about finding someone who specializes in it. The best, closest, place I can find is in Chicago, which is about 2 hours from here. Could my yeast infections be helped by increasing the met. They say that if you get a lot of yeast infections you need to stay away from refined sugars. Could there be some connection? |
