I was dx with pcos in May of 2008. I knew something was up because I had gone off bc and had my period once in a year. I had also gained 12 lbs regardless of my strict diet and exercise habits. I had always been very thin 5'7" 125---and had ended up around 140 (still thin, but i knew something was up).
Anyway---I started Meds in early June 2008. I acutally take the name brand of met---glucophauge. I was put on 850 3x a day. I get bloodwork done every two months to see improvements. The first couple of months i def. saw alot of improvements:
Insulin went from 6 down to 4.2
Test. went from 75 down to 60.
BUT STILL NO PERIOD.
Well as of last week I am happy to report that I got my first period since on Met!
I am also happy to report that due a modified version of the South Beach Diet I have started to loose that weight---only a few more lbs until im back at my normal weight!
there are things out there that work!!
A Met. SUCCESS story!
