 yep me
Yep. I gained back about half the weight I had lost the previous 6 mo, 10 lb or so. I also got worse acne, bad fatigue, worse hairloss, constipation, low libido, and NO ovulation or improvement in any of my symptoms. Also I felt like I had "space brain" the whole time. The doc threw up her hands at that point and suggested IVF. Shya, I don't think so $$$
A few months ago I doscovered DCI, another insulin-helper type treatment, and got bfp on 3rd cycle. Acne also got better, weight stopped gaining, was going back to normal FINALLY!! See sig or pm for details.
Met may just not be the IR med for you...there's herbals like DCI or NAC or chromium/cinnamon/IR-diet, etc, drugs like Avandia or Actos, and the new one Byetta.
I was on 850 of metformin and could never increase it b/c I would constantly throw up when I tried. I just hated it, personally. I was thin before metformin and average (at best) afterwards. I have been on IR diet for gosh, like 3.5 years now, including the time on met.
