Hi RR

I have PCOS without cysts. I have also been prescribed to help with the symptoms of PCOS. Yes, Metformin has side effects, you have to wean yourself onto metformin (Diaformin) otherwise side effects (running to bathroom every 5 mins) will get to you. If you start on 1/4 of a tablet for a week then move to 1/2 tablet for a week then 1 tablet etc etc until your dose you should be ok, thats what my GP recommended and it worked. Also I was recommended if not TTC to go on the pill
Dianne that may help too for me to balance my hormones, maybe worth asking your GP about that? not sure if it helps with PCOS symptoms though. Hope this helps.
