Unhappy Yasmin and Metformin Co-therapy

Help!!!!

I noticed some of you mention being on yasmin and met at the same time. Have you noticed any problems with blood sugar or weight gain on the combination? I have been on yasmin for three and a half years, met for four months, and have had a lot of trouble with weight gain since going on the met. I have also had some symptoms of high blood sugar. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I going crazy??? I would appreciate any information that can be provided. I know I should see a doctor, but I just moved and don't know about any PCOS specialists in my area. Besides, I have a feeling this is not something that any professionals will be able to help me with.

Thanks.

Default I am on both with great results

But....I have drastically changed my diet...low carb for life...no sweets except on occassion. It has taken three years to get my hormones under control. A lot of time and patience and hopefully you will have the same results. On Glucophage alone I just wasn't seeing results soon enough, weight loss has come alot easier since changing my diet and adjusting to the meds.

Good Luck!
