Just got back from the gyn. Basically it went like this:

I had to pee in a cup (as usual) and they tested it for a UTI, but nothing was detected. I was prescribed antibiotics anyways. She told me that I may be Pre-Diabetic.

Then the nurse practioner suggested to me (all on her own) that I go on Metformin to help me continue to lose weight and regulate my period. She told me that clinic I was at is strictly a family planning facility they can't prescribe Metformin...

Hello all:

I have been going through the threads for over 2 hours trying to find out if anyone has gone through.

I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with PCOS. I had gained 30lbs over the past year, starting losing my hair and stopped getting my period.

Before I was diagnosed I worked out 5 days a week and ate right and the months I would not get my period gained 10 pounds.

My doctor has me on 1500mg of Metformin. Will my weight ever go back...
