Hi! I just entered this web-page and have seen your message. You seem quite experienced in handling PCOs, so any advice would be helpful.
I am 33,5 years old, diagnosed for PCOs in 1991. Symptoms: irregular period, acne, unovulation. I am slim (52kg) and I am wondering wheather this information I read about metformin would be useful for me.
My medication history is as follows:
- 1993 till 1997: BCP (Gynofen, with anti-androgen): helped a lot in restoring my circles, and acne dissaperred.
- 6 months quit medication: acne reappeared worse, no periods
- 1998: again on BCP: circle restored, acne dissapeared
- 2004: change to new generation BCP (Meliane: very low dosage, no anti-adrogen), no changes, period ok, no acne.
Since I am now almost 34 I am starting worrying on how and when I am going to go out of BCP since I want to have family one day. I am wondering:
- how successful would be my change from BCP to Metformin,
- Am I going to have my periods regulated as now that I take BCP?
- Am I going to have again acne problems after quiting BCP and taking metformin?
- Will I have any chances of getting pregnant using Met?
I would appreciate your response to my questions, in case you have some good tips and suggestions.
Thank u sooo sooo much!!! :-)
