Hi everyone,
I used to post on this board quite regularly, but have not for a while (since 07)!!! I'm just trying to get settled back in.
I was living in the US but now I live in the UK with my husband. From what I have been told, a lot of Women in the UK with PCOS do not get treated, or get very minimal treatment unless they are trying to concieve. How true is this??
They stopped my metformin once they found out I wasn't trying to have a baby. I was taking 1500mg in total daily. I found (or thought) that the metformin helped maintain symptoms and helped me with eating. I felt it helped me digest better any carbs I had.
Since metformin has no conclusive evidence of weight loss, help metabolising sugar, or really even pregnancy then why wouldn't they give it to me if been on it a number of years and no issues or problems?? I am finding the UK is a lot stricter with medications.
Any comments, suggestions, personal experience is appreciated,
Thank you!
