Morning
Today is my first day of starting metformin. I have PCOS and i am overweight; my periods have been non-existent for roughly 9 months. Not ideal when you are TTC. I have lost 3.5 stone through slimming world and plan to continue with the weight loss alongside taking metformin.
Does anyone already take Metformin? I've heard mixed reviews about side effects. Really hoping I can work through it until (presumably) they will subside as my body gets used to them.
I have beed advised to have 5 days of taking 500mg once a day with breakfast, the increase to 2 x 500mg a day for 5 days with breakfast and lunch, then finally take 3 x 500mg 3 times a day.*
I'm Hoping that I will see a period soon.
