PCOS Help Please.

[mollycat]

Hi Natalie

Another thing with metformin I was told by my dietician, is to start off with small doses and work up to your prescribed dosage.

I had the upset belly thing when I first started and stopped taking it cause I figured it just wasn't worth it. When I told my dietician, he suggested taking half a tablet once a day for a while, then building up to another half, until over time you are at your proper dosage. That worked for me.

There's quite a few different books around on Low GI diets, and on PCOS, it's worth looking around.

I'd be using contraception then as Metformin was prescribed to me to fall pg with my two little girls.

I was on the low GI diet, I just googled it and used a website to help me along until I fell pg naturally with this new baby in my tum.

Cheers,

Beck

BW won't be online for a while to give more advice - her little boy arrived today four weeks early! when she gets out of hospital, she'll be moving house so i'm guessing net time is going to be sporadic for a while!

nat - maybe have a look in the pcos/endo threads - there is some fantastic advice in there (lots from BW) which you can have a look at that might help you
