My gut tells me Met makes more sense b/c it's treating the root of the problem, the IR, rather than covering up the symptoms & making me have a "fake period".
Playing by heart - I rarely got af (3-4 times/yr, it was anovulatory bleeding I was told) & af became regular on Met after a few months. I have had 2 children easily using Met & I am now pg with my 3rd (I had 2 m/c right before I started Met).
Thought you also might be interested to know that the endo I saw told me that exercise is more effective than Met in preventing diabetes.
Guess I gotta get back to the gym one of these days ((sigh)) |
Both are right in their own way. You have to choose the treatment you want depending on your age and needs.if you need contraception and arent planing to concieve and under 40BCP is prolly good and will work in less time than Met.Met will take a bit more time but is good if you are TTC and also can be a good treatment for those premenauposal postmenauposal pcos ladies.
Both treatment can be used at the same time as well.
