My doctor called me this morning and told me the outcome....I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have no idea what it is, how I got it, or what to do. Help!
I am starting a medicine tomorrow called Metaformin. She told me it will help me lose weight. Is this true?
Metformin helps stop the over production of insulin. I have seen very positive results in just a month when I coupled it with staying on a low-carb eating regimine (Atkins). The change in energy and how I feel is amazing. Give it an honest shot! But you have to stick to it with NO CHEATING.
The best thing for me was to learn as much about PCOS as I could. There is tons of information here. If you ever need to chat, feel free to contact me.

Hi and welcome! Metformin should help with weightloss and you should try to limit your carbs. This website has lots of good information and book recomendations. Often, you can check these books out from your library. Learning all you can about this condition will help you be pro-active in your care and treatment.
Be sure to take a long look around for loads of information in articles and past threads!
