I LOVE METFORMIN! I just went for a blood draw to check my testosterone levels and I have gone from Total testosterone of 94 down to 50 after one month of 1000mg/day!!!! It's a miracle, I hope it continues to go down, I will be a normal healthy woman with balanced hormones once again with met's help :-) I know my ovaries probably feel relieved. Also, I am thin and not IR so for everyone who is not IR met can and will make a difference in your lab values, if you have high total testosterone do not let your doc withhold metformin because you are not IR.
