So, I finally got a doctor to prescribe Metformin. I saw my gyno on Tuesday and he wanted to do the pill but I refused. That's the whole reason DH got snipped. Plus the whole process of finding one that doesn't making me a raving lunatic is exhausting.
Anyway, he finally prescribed me Metformin but it's 500mg once a day with no intention of increasing the dose. It's helping already with minimal side effects. (TMI?) Tummy rumbles but little else. The positive effects are that I don't feel like gnawing my arm off constantly. It has pretty much freed me from thinking about food all of the time. I hope it continues to work at this dose so I don't have to increase, but I'm prepared to fight if necessary to up the dosage if my body adjusts. I hear a lot of women say they're on 1500 -2000mg a day.
Anyway, just wanted to share as I'm very excited to be doing something about my PCOS, other than trying unsuccessfully to lose weight and feeling like a failure.
