Question???........When I was diagnosed with PCOS they put me on Glucophage and Ovcon 35 I took it for a while then stopped (studpid me) because I believed I didn't have PCOS. Well I went back to the doctor recently and was basically chewed out because I hadn't been taking the medicine and put me back on Ovcon 35 and now Met. I took both for the first month and did great got my period back and slowly was getting myself in the groove of taking the met twice a day. Well I wanted to see if I just took the Met if I would have a period and I did this month without taking the birthcontrol for a month. Does anyone else just take the Met and do ok on having their monthly or is better if I stick to taking the birthcontrol?

Kristi, Met CAN regulate periods without BCPs. BCPs add artificial hormones to your body, and Met regulates hormones. Without BCPs, Met regulates your OWN hormones. That said, it may take longer for your body to regulate itself with just Met.
BCPs made my symptoms so much worse that I'll never go on them again.

on bcps you dont actually ovulate and have a proper period - u just have a 'withdrawal bleed' which is good because it means menstruation occurs and reduces the risks of abnormalities in the uterus lining that made lead to cancer etc, so they are good if u dont have periods at all, or very few. but i think if u can have a period on ur own without the bcp's then do that. bcp's actually shut down your ovaries so that no more cysts can form. i had a bad experience with dianette and depression, i am now off the pill and my cycle is trying to regulate itself - just doing lots of exercise and trying to eat healthily to help keep my weight down and hope that'll make my cycle more regular and i'll soon get regular periods!

Well I don't have that many symptoms other than the weight gain and irregular periods. I don't have the sharp pelvic pains anymore and no acne, hair or anything else. But I noticed last month that I had cramps and was always hungry when I was on the BC's.

I had absent and irregular periods ever since my first period. This went on for years. When I went on Met ER the first month I got a period on my own and have had one ever since at the same time, now for almost 2 years. I link the regular periods to the Met as that is the only change I made. Jean
