Hi everyone. I have read a lot of met successes here and am inspired. I have been off and on met since being diagnosed in 2005. Unfortunately, I never take it long enough to see changes in AF and O. I did see changes in my skin, acne went away entirely while on it. The longest I've taken it is one and a half months in feb and march. During this time I did take clomid and everything worked perfectly, but I got a
BFN
. So met does work for me, but I just don't continue it. One problem I have is that met makes me constipated, badly. Most people have diarrhea and I do at first but it quickly turns to constipation I don't know why.
Another problem I have, and I think its my biggest weakness when it comes to treatments, is that I am very inpatient. I want to be able to see results now. I am constantly changing my mind about which meds I want to take. I can't stick to one for more than a week or two. I've tried insulite, which I thought was working but my acne got so so bad that I decided to go back to met. I've tried inositol for 2 weeks, didn't feel anything but I still take it. I am also trying the buckwheat farinetta for DCI, but it tastes so nasty. These trials with different treatments have been my effort to steer away from docs, which I have never had much luck with.
So i have come to the conclusion that met may be the med for me. I think I just need to stay on it long enough. I would love to be able to get AF and O on my own. Thank you all for sharing your stories. It has made me realize that I've been foolish in not taking met.
