Questions & Answers

I'm suppose to be taking metformin for my PCOS but I always have to stop taking it because it makes me violeny sick. Like vomiting, extreme diarrhea. My doctor tells me that, that's normal and the symptoms should subside in time but they never do.
I'm just wondering if other people get this way, or if there's other alternatives?

Thank you!

I have tried what seems to be everything. Low carb, weight watchers, exercising 4-5 times a week, nondairy, etc. I have been heavy set since I was in middle school but with the passing of my father it seems like I the depression has really set me back. Just wondering what has been succesful for others (6 months or more and able to stick with it)

I have bee. Taking Metformin for almost 3 months now. I was prescribed 500mg ER twice a day by my PCP due to my previous period lastly a month and losing a pint of blood. She said it'll help regulate my hormones and help me become more regular. However in 2 months and about 20days I have had one period which lasted 24 days. How long did it help regulate your periods? I am trying to conceive, will it be best for me to take the next step and try fertility medication?

Ok this is pretty silly but I feel awful like I am going to throw up Metformin is supposed to be taken with food but I don't feel like I can keep anything down. Should I try to force myself to take it anyways? Do I skip it for now and try to take it when I am feeling better? I feel like this should be obvious but I have never been on pills that I take longer than a week or two.

I seem to be insulin resistant PCOS. My friends all tell me Metformin does not work at all. Should I even bother with it or should I ask my doctor for a different medication?

Why do some women have this problem? Are women not valued enough, still, for this problem to get medical focus in our society?

I just don't get how you can have such a problem and for there to be nothing to be done about it. No, I just don't get it at all.
