Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
"I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 yrs ago. I&#039;m overweight (but losing weight now) but I don&#039;t have the typical facial/body hair, acne, etc. that is normally associated with PCOS. I was prescribed metformin but stopped taking it &amp; didn&#039;t go back to the doctor again until this past Feb. I&#039;ve had irregular periods since 2005 after I gained a lot of weight. I had a period, maybe every 3-4 months &amp; the flow never was normal. It usually was very light &amp; lasted just a few days. I started taking metformin 500mg on Feb. 7th &amp; I started my period on Mar. 5th &amp; the cramps were absolutely awful &amp; the bleeding was excessively heavy . I&#039;m now 6 days late &amp; neg preg test. I&#039;m 29 &amp; want to be a mother so badly. I really hope metformin helps me with this."
