Newbie starting Glucophage today-PCOS/IR

  • Hey all.
    Am finally getting some real answers about PCOS and weight loss from a new doc and am starting Metformin today. Would love to hear from other ladies similar to me...or not similar,if you have any words of advice or encouragement. Here's a bit about me...
    33 years old
    PCOS since...forever. I've only had about a dozen "natural" periods in my life, have amenorrhea due to PCOS so I'm not ovulating. Probably.
    Not TTC yet...but in the next year or so. After I lose 40lbs.
    None of the normal PCOS symptoms...am not hairy, no darkening of skin or masculine characteristics. Just no periods at all.
    Anyway.
    Drop me a line if you'd like!
  • Hi there, MOODYFOODIE,

    Afraid I'm not in the same boat as you are -- I'm a type II diabetic -- but I wanted to say HI and give you this link to the PCOS/Insulin Resistance Forum.

    http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=70

    I know you'll find lots of helpful information over there and a big welcoming It can help so much to be able to chat with others who face the same hurdles as you do.

    Have a good evening, Chickie . . .
