polycystic ovary syndrome
"I was recently diagnosed (finally) with PCOS. I have had irregular periods since I was 13. In the past the only thing that would regulate me was birth control, but since my husband and I have been trying for a baby I haven't been on birth control for quite some time. Just before getting confirmation on the PCOS I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and my family doctor put me on Metformin. She said lucky for me pregnancy was a side effect in some cases. I'm not pregnant yet, but I have started getting periods since I started taking it, for the first time in years. I feel really good about this medication, especially after reading everyone's comments. Thank you all for the great feedback. I look forward to the losing weight part too."
