Hi Shan,
Wow - you do post well!!! I know you are talking to me (I get confused with all the Michelle's about so I wait until I am sure it is me you are talking to or otherwise )

I did what you suggested at the gym yesterday and found my waist had shrunk 3" (about 7.5cm - my instructor uses the smaller numbers of inches rather than centimeters ) since pre-Caitlyn. I also put on about 10kg on Clomid 12 months ago and still find it won't move. Not on the dreaded drug yet but we'll see what happens in the next few months.

I am a little happier with the size decrease but I STILL wish the scales would show some change!!

Metformin is a drug usually prescribed for Type II diabetes and often for PCOS. It increases weight loss for PCOS patients due to an improved use of energy (many with PCOS have some sort of insulin resistance). Insulin resistance can also alter the hormones of the reporductive cycle which makes it harder to conceive. There are many different sites that discuss the use of Metformin in PCOS (as well as the advantages / disadvantages and side effects).

I have ?? insulin resistance (borderline results) and found that the gym seemed to improve this (and then I got pregnant!!). Considering it was the 4th cycle of Clomid I don't think the drug was the catalyst.

Currently CD 11 with CM changes indicating ovulation is on the way - woohoo!!! BD'ing in progress (partly for the fun and partly for the timing) so wish me luck.

Sending a big hello to everyone and lots of dust:

Michelle
