I am hoping that at my doc appt this week I will get prescribed met....however, she seemed to indicate that this is typically used when you want to conceive, which I don't want to do yet....are there benefits to using it on BCP's?? Will it help at all regulate my weight??? i know I won't lose a hundred pounds or anyhthing...but 30 or 40 would be a nice start??? Thanks for your help.

Albaos,

I am a normal weight pcos woman and I have amenorrhea. I am on Met 2000mg and I am getting different opinions on how people feel with both Met and BCPs. I love met and feel that it has helped me feel normal. I did have 3 periods off of it, but now I havent had a period since May. So I am trying to find people's opinions on BCPs, which kind and Met. A lot think Yasmin is helpful, but I see you are on Diane. Have you had pblms in the past w/ BCPs? I've had pblms w/ depression and bad bloating.

Eichic,

I think you should get Met. I lost 12 lbs on it. I was smaller before and when I went off BCPs I gained weight and my PCOS started gettin out of control. My metabolism got out of whack and my IBS w/ constipation got real bad. Ever since I went on Met, I felt like me again. SO I think its a good thing to get. We have to treat the underlying pblm which is our insulin pblms as well as the symptoms we have too. Good luck. INSIST on having MET.
