 new here from Ky
just wanted to say that what a wealth of information you all are sharing.
my name is tiffany and i have been pre- diagnosed with pcos from the time i never hit puberty. has surgery when i was 15 yrs old (im not 35) and was diagnosed then as for sure having pcos and that i would never be able to have children. no one in my family has this disease and i am a big boned girl and as a kid weighed 175.
in my teenage years i was put on birth control to make me have a period, that worked for a while until i got married and wanted to have children. i was always active and big boned but still in my weight range as a kid. after fertility drugs and no periods i gave up hope of ever having my own biological and adopted (have 2 wonderful daughters who are now 14, 12.5) with years of no periods, literally lucky if i had one in 4 yrs, out of the blue i get pregnant......without a period, drs where shocked and told me there was no way this could happen, well hello, it did, and it did it 2 times for i now have 2 biological children....which i am so thankful for........(6 and 3 yrs old now)
as i have gone through life i have gained wieght and never have i taken any off. 20 pounds here and there, ive done every diet known to man and never loose a thing....with the pregnancy of my last child, i gained 73 pounds and have yet to loose it.
my ogbyn knew nothing about glucophage and pcos, i found out on the internet by a friend who has pcos and who has lost 75 pounds by taking this drug.........i was shocked........i immediatly called my dr and got into see them and they started me on it, ive been on it 17 weeks, first 12 weeks was 500 mg, last 3 weeks 1,000 mg a day and ive not lost a single pound........im not over eating, ive cut out all candy, and im eating only 2 meals a day (hate breakfast.) how long does it take to start loosing the weight?
