Hello everyone! I was directed to this forum by a friend, LessThanThree. Lots of great information here... so many things are beginning to make sense now... little things that I had no idea had to do with PCOS.
Anyhoo, I was diagnosed last month, have been on 1500mg of Met for a few weeks now (actually just worked up to 1500 as of yesterday; I had to gradually increase), and I hope that it's working. I mentioned in another thread that my appetite seems to be back with a vengence (something that had diminished greatly before getting on the meds). I first noticed something was wrong after getting off BCP in April 2006. Between April last year and this year, I had only had 4 periods. Did the fasting glucose test and my doc said I am IR and have high levels of free testosterone (which explains the odd patch of "man hair" I grew on my left foot, and the acne!). I will be going back on the Pill as soon as I get another period (just got done with another dosage of Prometrium, so it should be any day now!). as much as I don't want to take the Pill, I hope it will help my hormones get under control until the Met really starts working.
So that's the long and short of it. Any advice anyone has for me, send it my way. I'm sure I'll be around a lot since this is all very new to me!
Newbie!
