polycystic ovary syndrome
"I was told that I had PCOS about 7 months ago. I gained weight. My periods have always been irregular and my doctors would always suggest putting me on birth control but I always declined it. Here I am now at 27 having to take metformin 500. I take 1000 mg a day. I just had my first period the other week in over 8 months. My periods have always been irregular, I knew 7 months of not having one was to long. At first my Gyn put me on regular metformin. It had me going going. Then my PCP put me on met xr two tabs a day. And listen ladies some gyns might tell you that you have sugar but make sure to check with your PCP for a second opinion. My Gyn had me on 4 tabs a day 500 mg but my PCP knocked it down. Had a period and losing weight!!!"
