Do you think that the more you weigh the higher dose of Met you need to have results?

Or do you think your weight and dosage amounts may not be related?

Just curious...

Not sure about this one...I just know that my RE is a PCOS specialist and she prescribed me the typical top dosage of 2000mg even though I am thin.

Good question... I have a follow up in a week and I'm going to ask this.

I don't think it's by your weight. It depends on how much help your body needs in normalizing hormones levels. I think it's based on bloodwork and symptoms.

I would like to know the answer to this question as well. I'm newly diagnosed and don't feel my doctor knows enough about PCOS to decide a proper dosage. I'm on 1,500 mg per day. I'm optimistic because I just got an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in October! yay!
