Default Met and Period Question

Ok, so I will try to do a quick "cliffs notes" of my history for my question.

Lost a load of weight, now in the healthy range and got good muscle mass, eat petty well, don't drink or smoke etc. went off the pill a year ago and periods went from vaguely regular to all the freaking time. I have had this current period since last November *sighs*

I don't want to go on the BCP again because I am going to TTC next year and I want to get this issue sorted now.

I had an scan done about a month ago with no internal issues except for the cysts. I also have had all bloods done (everything normal there except higher testosterone in the normal range) and I do not suffer from IR

I am at the end of my tether and am thinking about going onto Met. I really really don't want to be on it for a long time as I know its ot that good for your liver (which I guess I wont be as after I finish up having kids I suppose I will go back on the BCP since it helps with acne etc.

I am going to the Doctor on Monday. Being as I still am a year away from TTC should I ask for met (I have an IUD in so wont be getting up the duff anytime soon) to try and regulate. Or will it really not do anything here?

Sorry for the long post. I have been trying to find something about longer periods and pcos, and though everyone knows why people have no periods its seems no one really knows why some of us have elongated periods.

I would talk to your OB about it. I actually had a period from November till May. On May 7th I had a D&C and found out I had hyperplasia, which needs to be treated. You may need a D&C.

I was wondering that too. I was speaking to a nurse where I work and she thinks that I might need to have a D&C.

oh well, I guess I just need to ask my doc... I cant afford an Ob right now (if I go public it will take years to be seen and I don't have the money to see on private) so just normal dr's that are willing to listen to my suggestions, but don't actually know about pcos.
