All the advice I read says lose weight. I am tired of reading that, I am only about 10 pounds over my ideal. I am determined to lose them, but I wish there was more I could do other that exercise and eat right. I am seeing an endo that is not very helpful. He said he might put me on met in about 5 months after my labs come back. I am not going to let him wait that long. I was on met before and all I remember is the diarrea I had all the time!!! YUCK!! Sometimes I wonder if I really have PCOS, I have most of the symptoms, but I have regular cycles. Maybe because I fight the weight so hard. I just refuse to get fat!! I don't know what to do and I am all stressed out. Any advice?

You might look into some alternative remedies, there is some great advice on that board (also try a search). Other than that, I believe there is an extended release form of Met, as well as some other insulin sensitizing drugs, that might be better on side effects, so try a search on that too (I wish I could help but I am not an expert on those drugs. . .haven't been lucky enough to get them prescribed myself). Other than that. . .welcome to the board and good luck!
