:wave: Hi...I am new to the site and soooo glad to have found it. PCOS runs high in my female family members. I thought I should get checked myself when my acne increased along with my weight and facial hair. In addition to my horrible cycles (very heavy and cramps that could kill):mad: I have been unable to get pg after trying for over a year:confused: . My ob/gyn said I could count on it being PCOS however we still did the prelim tests. She says she is going to put me on Metformin. I wanted to ask how well this worked for anyones acne,weight and facial hair. Also the sucess rate on getting pg and in what time frame. I know this is long-sorry. I have too many ?'s and not enough patience:p Thx

Hi,

Cant answer all your questions however its better than nothing:
Although i have pco's i have not had metformin because by the time i was diagnosed i was at the start of the list for ivf however my friend who also has this has been taking metformin since nov 06 and has lost 3st approx
her hair is still the same i think but hasnt got worse which is good.
Im new here also however im sure you will find lots of sound advice.

take care
