I tried to take metformin but it was making go to the bathroom with horrible bowel movements I had to stop taking it cuz I couldn’t just miss work or be that person in the bathroom all the time, this was my experience. Although I have insurance to pay for metformin I’m taking ovasitol, I like it better just not sure if it will bring my period only one month 2. No more carb or sugar cravings though
