After fighting so hard to finally get a diagnosis and met, you'd think I'd not start thinking that there really was nothing wrong with me. I kind of got an "if I ignore it, it'll just go away" attitude. I stopped taking my met - which had me ovulating and having regular periods.
I'm regrowing the hair on my chin and tummy. I'm have anovulatory cycles. And I'm gaining weight again. UGH. I restarted my met this week.

Sorry to hear about your struggles w/o metformin. I also wished one day that I would be medication free. But I see that, that isn't likely to happen. Cheer up though....at least you know the medication was doing something.
I too am in the denial stage. I was off met for 3 years. I lost 90 lbs. so my Dr. took me off met after the weight loss. In the last year I've gained about 35 lbs. back so I'm trying to get started again. Today will be my 11th attempt. Good luck to you I know how hard it is and how bad the met makes us feel and how depressing the whole situation is. Sometimes it seems so hopeless. I get lots of encouragement from this site, thanks to all for your stories to help us keep going. Good Luck!
Aww Christy, I'm sorry you're going through all of that. There is a definite realitythat had to set in for keeping symtpoms at bay for me and it included getting real about having PCOS. I was like you and things slipped further in the tank until I decided that having a diagnosis (while it was a total disappointment and a pain in the arse). was better than not knowing because I could do something.
Hang in there girl!

I've been taking my Met faithfully. And almost immediately, my hair stopped falling out by the handful. I just hate how tired it makes me feel. I need to be taking my multi-vitamin and Vitamin B, too. I just hate taking pills.
No tummy troubles to speak of! YAY!

I have had to resart mine too but b/c I had surgery and all. The dr told to me quit taking it a few days b/4 the surgery so I have been trying to get back up to 1500 and the doc wants me at 2000.
I really don't like medications especially some of the side effects. But I realized I didn't like the alternatives either. I'm to the point now were I actually cut my pills in half because they me gag and sick to my stomach while trying to take them. But once I do I'm fine. I don't ever remeber having this problem. I think it is pscyhological for me.
I guess that is a decision that everyone has to make.
