Default Is Met good for PCOS'ers who aren't predominantly tummy?

Is there anyone here who is on Met that *doesn't* carry most of their weight in their stomachs? More specifically, anyone here that isn't apple shaped and not IR, but still on Met?

I'm what we call a thin cysters....I don't carry excees weight in my abdomen and I am not IR. I have been taking 1500 mg XR sine Feb and just recently upped my dose to 2000 mg XR. On the 1500 mg doses my cycles returned but are on average of 38 days. My doc is hoping that the increase in met will bring my cycles down to a 30 days. The met has also helped to lower my testosterone levels but I haven't see much improvmant with the facial hair.
