Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
"I would not credit metformin as the only reason I have done so well with the pcos weight gain, but I believe it&#039;s been a HUGE help. I was a very active female, ex military who was always within my bmi. I went from 138 lbs to 350 lbs in 8 years before the pcos was even diagnosed. 7 months on metformin, with a healthy diet and moderate exercise and I&#039;m 140 lbs down. For me, it worked. I went through 2 or 3 brands until I got to one that didn&#039;t make me sick. But I&#039;m grateful I stuck it out. Pcos is a nightmare, the hair growth alone makes you feel less feminine let alone the massive weight fluctuations. I wish everybody luck and obviously listen to your body and research everything the dr recommends. Good luck and god bless!"
