New to Everything!

So I'm new to this site and new to metformin! DH and I have decided to start TTC in January 2010 (which will make me 29 when we start). So in preparation for that I decided to try to make this my "healthy year" and do anything I could do this year to make that time easier and eliminate as many problems as possible.
I was diagnosed officially with PCOS 2 months ago. I just started metformin today. I am on a BCP as well.
I just wanted to say how helpful it has been to read all the posts. Everyone has amazing advice and suggestions! I look forward to becoming a member of this community.

Hey, we have pretty similar goals!! We're hoping to start TTC sometime in 2010, and I'll be 29, too. Just found out I've got PCOS last week, and I'm greatful to have found out now, so I can take the time to work on myself. We're eliminating all the bad stuff from our life.... junk food, fast food, soda, all that bad stuff. We're both focusing on getting healthy, and its so much easier to be able to go through this with my husband, who is so supportive of me! He was more upset and worried about my diagnosis than I was. When I found out I was ready to fight back!! LOL

How's the Met going? I started mine Friday evening, and so far, I've had no side effects other than being a little tired. I was kind of nervous about starting it, but so far so good. Hope it's going great for you, as well!

Wow, we are similar! Yep, going through the whole get healthy and get rid of bad foods and junk too! Today was my first day taking the met, and the only "side effect" I had was taking a nap, which I usually don't do. No other side effects yet, fingers crossed. I look forward to following your journey!!!

I look forward to following your journey as well! That's great that the only side effect you had was a nap. Hopefully that's the only side effect you've had so far. Still nothing for me, which is great. I'm going to go ahead and start taking 1000 mg on Saturday, and see how it goes from there.
