PCOS

Yeah, I like your doc too! It sounds like she really cares. And yes, those docs can't know everything. It is just very frustrating that they don't know about something that affects up to 25% of women! :-)

Glad you are on the Met. Curious, how long have you been on it and what dose are you on? Diet can really affect how well the Met. works. If you are not eating right it can go against what the Met is trying to do.

Take care and talk with ya soon! Laura

That sounds like a fine plan. You have been on the Met for a while, but waiting a little longer is not a bad idea. What I would do is adjust your diet some more. Up the protein and fat. Make sure you are eating something about every three hours. Below are some links that will help. Let me know if you have any questions. Then after doing this for a month or so and still not seeing change, I would ask to up the dose. I know for me, the difference is dramatic when I up to 2000mg. Take care and keep me updated! Laura
