Do you have this too?

Hi there Sisters!

I am a PCOS newbie and I don't get all the abbreviations. But here goes.

I have had skin tags removed, I have TERRIBLE acne on my jawline, and now I have thinning hair in the front (where it is noticable). I am overweight and now have high blood pressure too. I try to take Metformin but anything more than 500 gives me terrible stomachaches and I already have IBS. The good news is that I get my period every month as scheduled........ but I don't ovulate.

I've been married and trying to have a baby for over 2 years. Our Dr. wants to do IVF soon, but I feel that I have to lose at LEAST 20 pounds before we try that. I am so scared of having a miscarrage.

Does anyone out there have any advice for this newbie? I'm feeling so blue.

Hi and welcome to SC.
Have you tried Met ER? A lot of cyters have a better time on the extended release met.
I can't help you with the acne but try this forum.
