In May of 2010 I was diagnosed with PCOS. in my case their was nothing wrong with my ovaries but I did have insulin resistance which caused me very bad acne, no period at all, alittle facial hair, and definitely darking folds around my neck and arms.My OB/GYN put me on metformin and birth control. A year later I've lost 61 pounds because of it..i feel amazing. It was slow in the beginning because of the side effects from the metformin ex. stomach bloat, gas, diarrhea, and ingestion. my doc still has me taking it and my birth control (nuvaring), although i haven't been trying to get pregnant yet, im hoping that when i decide to that everything will work out. I did experience a miscarriage back in 2008, so I'm assuming I've had PCOS for a while..The metformin cuts my appetite, and it makes me full quick, and it keeps me regular, with moderate exercise, you will lose the weight, just give the medicine a chance.
How long did it take for you to START losing weight? I have such bad diarrhea, I poop like 4 times a day, all watery... and I feel nausea once a week.
I can't wait to start losing weight but this is quite discouraging which affects my will to exercise...
