Avandia?

Is anyone taking Avandia for your PCOS? I absolutely could not tolerate Met!

I was just wondering if it helps. I just started it this month. So many meds, so confused!

Jody Sue, I also could not tolerate the Met. I took Avandia with my first IVF and became pregnant. I took it though the first trimester of my pregnancy and didn't any side effects.

I am now with a new RE and trying for another baby. He has me on Actos, which I started having side effects, so I cut my dose in half and it is better.

Hope you the best!

I was on Avandia for a few months before ttc. It was given to me by regular endo. I didn't really notice any side effects while i was on it but now that my RE has switched me back to met (which i absolutely do not tolerate), I noticed that I had alot of fluid retention and leg cramps when I was on Avandia that have gone away now. My RE switched me back to met because I had never taken the extended release version and she feels it works better and wanted me to try it again. It is definitely better than the regular but I am still having issues. Immodium is my friend!
