Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
"25 years old - diagnosed with PCOS at 16. Always have been overweight, abnormal hair growth &amp; irregular periods. I&#039;m &quot;pre-diabetic&quot; with diabetes on both sides of my family so taking Metformin as a preventative measure. I&#039;ve been on metformin for 10 days and have already lost 3 pounds with no significant diet change &amp; got my period on my own without having to take medication for the first time in years. Less hungry, especially at night. I did have terrible diarrhea the first few days but that has resolved. Today started with a horrible metallic taste in my mouth which I&#039;m hoping will subside soon because I feel pretty good otherwise! My advice - don&#039;t get discouraged with the stomach issues in the beginning - push through!"
