I only ask b/c we're starting with Clomid, but if that doesn't work my RE said we might throw some Met into the mix before moving to shots. The whole drug thing kind of freaks me out - I hate to even take Advil - but clearly I am in need of some Rx intervention. | The Met hasn't been bad for me. I do know that some women experience loose bowels (like can hardly make it to the bathroom kind). I started slow at 250 mg a day and now I am up to 1000mg a day. I really noticed a difference in my waist after taking met. I did do blood work for IR but it came back fine. I have read in other places that some test are inaccurate and that all PCO women have some type of IR.
