Way to go, Poppy!

Pretty much the same thing here - the metformin has done stuff all apart from help me lose some weight. I sat at 65kg for years, then after a winter on prednisone I expanded to 70kg... stopped taking the pill and I jumped up to 73kg. I'm now back down to 68-69kg, fitting into all my old clothes, with the help of the metformin, but I have absolutely no illusions that losing the weight will do anything about restoring any sort of normal menstrual cycle for me. As a size 10 teenager I never had a normal menstrual cycle, and I just can't see it being different for a size 12 adult. At least I'm no longer in an overweight category for my height (although it would be nice to lose a couple more kg) so doctors are less likely to try that line with me now.

Well done on the weight loss again. Really hoping that it does the trick for you.

I understand fully what you mean by having no illusions. I also was thin as a teenager and never had a proper cycle. But if this weight loss doesn't work then I would love to actually say to the doctors 'well I've Iost all this weight and I am still not getting a cycle so what are you going to say now!!!??' However my naturopath thinks my weight gain would be from all the experiments with all the different BCPs they tried on me since I was 16. So I am hoping that maybe I never gave my adolescent body a chance to have a proper cycle by itself when I was thin so it can't hurt to see if as a thin adult (which I have never been!) I get a proper cycle.

BTW it is really good to be able to talk to someone who has the same 'non-typical' PCOS as me!
