I thank god that I found this board, sometimes you can feel so alone when no one in your family or none of your friends has ever had to go through stuff like this. I start my Met tomorrow, I am actually excited! I am 25 y/o now and I have had irregular periods since I was 18, I also have hair growth and darkening of skin in some places so that is when my doctor tested me, sure enough I have PCOS and my glucose levels are elevated. My husband and I are wanting to get pregnant but have had no success as of yet because I ovulate off and on, its not constant every month. The doctor started me on Met 500mg for the first week then 1000 mg the second week then 1500 mg the third week and to top it with 2000 mg starting the 4th week, after im up to 2000mg that is what I will be taking daily. Im overweight and would love to lose some pounds before conceiving since it is said that I might have a better pregnancy. Well I just wanted to say I am so happy to find this board and there are a lot of others out there with the same situations as me and that I am not alone! thanks for all these wonderful stories, I teared up for a few of them!!!
