Metformin and CD 135 grrrhhh

[Petra]

hi everyone. I haven't been here for nearly two weeks ( only due to the fact I had no access to internet )

My cycles is dragging, I can't believe I am on 135 already. I have started taking 1700mg Metformin a day. Just wondering if anyone else is taking it and if you got your AF more regular afterwards..

Thanks all

Hope something happens for you soon

Why are you taking Metformin hun? Just curious as I am on it for Gestational Diabetes. Excuse my ignorance

 

[Petra]

I have been diagnosed a month ago with biochemical PCOS. This means that I have no cysts on my ovaries, but have hormonal imbalance caused by insulin resistance. ( I don't have diabetes yet but could have if left untreated ) I never imagined that insulin can cause long cycles, hormonal imbalance etc. I haven't had no symptoms and was all well when taking the Pill. Since going off the Pill last year, all is going wrong for me ( acne, weight gain, tiredness, long cycles etc) ..

By what you have just said it sounds like the Metformin will regulate you. I have heard nothing but good things about this tablet, so fingers crossed it will sort you out.

Let us know how you get on with it and best of luck

..I have just noticed your ticker.. Best of luck with birth giving hun
