Finally, since first joining this board in March, I received an actual dx of PCOS. Started met on Friday at 850 mg/day until this coming Friday where I will double the dose. So far, not feeling too bad. Maybe a little more tired than the normal, but guess I won't truely feel some side effects until this weekend when I increase it. Yikes. Think I might wait until Saturday to double it because lord knows I don't want to be at work on Friday and have all craziness happen.
I think I would qualify for a thin cyster. I am 5' 4", struggling to maintain 155 lbs but would love to be about 10 lbs lighter.
What I am hoping met will do is actually allow me to have a regular or somewhat regular af. I don't have one at all unless it is brought on by provera or bcp. I am 32 and very fustrated that it took this long for a dx. Last week I went to my new ob/gyn that works at a teaching hospital and within the first 10 minutes of my appointment was dx with PCOS after looking at all my lab work and hearing my symptoms. Like, hello???, why couldn't anyone else figure this out. Anyhow, I would love to be able to have a af, ovulate, and get pregnant on my own but atleast I know that clomid is out there and is an option.
Here's hoping to af, sore boobs, and mood swings. Strange but true. I feel like the weight of the world has already been lifted off my shoulders since getting my dx last week.
Welcome! Congratulations to teh diagnosis. Glad to hear you are getting met now. Makes life so much easier to know what you are fighting, doesn't it?
Glad you found the thin cysters! We are here for support, so let us know if we can help. or just hang out and chat!
Are you starting to TTC right away? I would suggest starting to temp (BTT) to get a feel for what your body "normally" does. That way you can detect O more easily if/when it happens.

Zebra- great idea about the BBT. I should probably start doing that. I can't really say that we are actively ttc but I can't really say that we aren't. We both would love to have a baby and are truely ready for one, but I think that I am just so greatful for my new dx that if god granted me some normal cycles for a few months I would gladly take them since I don't even know what it is like to really have one on my own. BUT...the selfish part of me would like to have one normal af and then be surprised the following month with pg. I know...only in a perfect world but dreaming about it is a whole lot of fun :-)
When first taking met did anyone feel just a general blah feeling? I feel a little tired but not too bad and maybe a little bit of a dull headache.
Thanks and any pointers anyone wants to give will be gladly accepted.
