Losing weight w/Glucophage (Metformin)
I just wanted to let everyone know that at least for me Metformin really works for losing weight! I started at 206 lbs in the beginning of May & I've lost 28 lbs to date, 178 lbs now. I was never officially diagnosed w/pcos but the doc suspected it & prescribed Metformin. It has also helped with making my period more regular. I'm about to start exercising so hopefully the weight will really fall off soon! I think losing weight should make easier to get preggo too, fingers crossed!

ladies i am reading how you have lost weight which is really great, do you mind if i ask, have you changed your diet since starting on metformin?, is this how you've lost weight, i do notice my appetite has reduced however my weight has not dropped & im on it 10 days,850mg, for 1st week, then double the dose, do you think when i increase my dose that my body will get used to it & i will in time need a higher dose or maybe this is when i will only notice weight loss.
sorry im just little impatient.
any thoughts welcome.
i have pco & irregular periods, also ttc.

* It sounds like you're having alot of success on Metformin. Congrats on your weight loss!
I was prescribed 500mg of Metformin, but decided to lose the weight without the medication. I am however taking 1000mg of Cinnamon, which has helped curve my appetite and keep my blood sugar in check. I thought I'd note that Metformin itself does not help restore a regular menstrual cycle, but losing all of that weight and keeping your blood sugar and hormones in check helped. It sounds like you're having alo
Hi ladies, I too just started taking Metformin 1500 mg a day about 2 mths now, because of PCOS (blocked ovaries) I don't know if it will help me but I am hoping something happens.. with my menses I was on fertility drugs to help with ovulation so lets see if I will ovulate with just the metformin... anyone ever tried vitex together with metformin I heard/read that vitex helps with O ... and regulating AF just wanted to hear some stories... ok .. good luck to all

Started metformin around Jan of this year, built up for 3 months or so. I have lost 20-25 lbs and had a period last month and a period this month- I wouldn't say I am regulated yet, but I seem to be on the right track for the first time! I am Dxd with PCOS, insulin resistance and hypothyroidism.
I too am on Metformin, I started at 1000 mg daily and now I am on 15000. Haven't really regulated my periods yet. But i have lost about 36 pounds since May 5. Which is wonderful! I am TTC, so hopefully this will work!!! Good luck ladies!!!!
Thanks for your post. I just started Metformin and I have had some side effects but am dealing with them just fine. I hope it works. I have been on my period for almost a year and I hope it regulates me. I am ready!!! I have noticed I really have no appitite, it's hard to eat with it because when I eat I get icky feeling:) it's okay maybe it will cause me to lose weight too.
