Glucofage and borderline PCOS
I just got a prescription for glucofage, or metflorin is the generic? I might have the name wrong but something like that, the prescription that's standard for PCOS.
My doctor suggested I try just 1 pill for 'borderline PCOS symptoms'. I'm not IR, my blood sugar was fine, triglycerides fine, everything pretty much normal except the hormones. They were a 'borderline indicator', just below the threshhold. And I have some of the symptoms of PCOS, including irregular periods for years now (since I went off birth control that was regulating it) and hair growth on my chin and neck.
So, I've taken it for two days. It's a 500 mg pill, just one, maybe working up to two. But, I'm sort of wondering about why I'm taking it if I'm borderline. I guess it'd be nice to have my periods regulated through some means other than birth control. But I don't know, seems like most people who take it are either diabetic or at least not IR, and I'm not. Is anyone else taking it who isn't IR? Or isn't definitively PCOS?
