Wow thats a lot of info - thanks! A homeopathic doctor diagnosed me with insulin resistance and low thyroid about 3 months ago, how do I go about getting my fertility doctor to test me for those when he thinks that the homeopathic dr. is a quack?

Hello Kat,

You do such a great job with all the information you provide us cysters. There is alot of info on IR for PCOS, but not very much for us cysters whom are not IR. I would like to request a sticky in the Metformin thread for women who don't have IR. I have a hard time finding any info on the site specific for me. I have traditional PCOS, so I'm not diabetic like most cysters.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I never got my period on my own except one year when I was low carbing (south beach diet). Recently we have begun TTC #1. So far, all my "parts" are normal. No cysts. My blood work was all fine except for a recent Glucose Tolerance Test that showed I was IR.
I started Metformin HCL 500 mg (two times per day) on 9/23/07. This past weekend my nipples became so sore. It only lasted for Sun., Mon & Today. In the past, the only other times my nipples where sore were two weeks before I got my period (when I was low carbing it only).
Has anyone esle experienced sore nipples after ovulation? Could the metformin work that quickly to help me get my period?
I am currently not taking any other drugs. I decided to hold off on the the next round of clomid until I see how the metformin works / doesn't work.
Thanks so much in advance for any information!
Vicki
