Things went well at the dentist thanks, although i need two vernears replaced as ive had then since i was 14!!

Anyway i just read your post and having PCOS myself i am only very slight, acording to my levels but that maybe because im not bing eating anymore and startinng to look after myself.(yes i suffered both anorexic and bulimia in my teens)Not that im saying your not im just telling my story. ......

Anyway years ago when i was 13 my mum found some info on trials with metformin and asked my Gyn to put me on it which he was a little unsure of as the trials had only been done in US...........so i went on it and was very, very sick ive been on and off it since then and now this time have been on it since i arrived in Australia, 4 years ago, although i didnt take it for my first two cycles and both times got BFN. I did take it for the next two cycles and got BFP (but m/c later)


Also...........my understanding is that if your levels are below 10 then you do not have PCOS, so what does the doc want you to do wave a magic wand!! we would all like our levels to be below 10 ....let us know your cure? (just so you know my levels are apparently 11 so like i said only slight PCOS .. i think if youve got something then youve got something no slight i still suffer the effects like sink, hair and did have excess weight)

Good luck
Anyway (i do like to go off the beaten trak, hit me) have you considered talking to your GP, FS about going on metformin as that will deff get your insulin levels down for sure (thats my understanding)
If anything it reduced my appertite and im down about 10 kg not that anyone would believe me, I know its sad but i never forget to take one as i know it keeps my weight down!very naughty of me to look at it like that but it has had an effect on my fertility too

All the very best and im hear if you need anything

bbl for personels as im off to work ....
