    I've been ttc for the past 6 years and had 1 ectopic, 1 miscarriage for the past 3 years! In just a few weeks of taking metformin, I got a BFP on the 4th day after my missed period 😊 really effective! Praying that to have my rainbow baby soon ❤️

I purchased mines off amazon try them I promise yu won’t go wrong!!

      Yes, I tried 4000mcg of myo inositol and it didn’t change any levels for me. Stayed the same as if it didn’t have an effect. I think it does work great for some people but it didn’t budge anything for me. Metformin did after the first month! My dr said when it’s genetic, metformin is needed. But I’d definitely try myoinositol since it’s natural

    My question is. I was recently told by a breast doctor for an ultrasound on one of my breasts for abnormal discharge. My Question is: When I see my OBGYN in July of 2020. Can I actually ask for metformin? Will the obgyn doctor give me the medication so I can conceive? (Of course, after he tests me for pcos) I have irregular periods (I didn’t get my period last month, of November)
    My symptoms of PCOS are: irregular periods, skin discoloration, hair thinning/loss, unwanted facial hairs on my chin, cheek bones and neck, & I became overweight... I changed my diet full of fruits & veggies. Less meat. I do my best to avoid any sugar/Caffeine. No dairy products. I have been eating grilled chicken & no beef because it gives me heartburn.

      You could potentially have thyroid disease too. Thyroid disease and PCOS play hand in hand. That is exactly what i have and we share the same symptoms. Also avoid a lot of fruit, although it is natural sugar, sugar is still sugar no matter the source. Try to cut down to 1 fruit a day. As far as meats go, chicken is excellent for pcos also salmon. Be mindful of fish because of mercury and you dont want to consume too much if you are trying to get pregnant. Carbs are your worst enemy, it turns into sugar with pcos. Lastly EXERCISE, not hardcore workouts but literally walking 5-6 days a week or light workouts at the gym. If you do hardcore intense workouts the fat you burn will reverse and turn back into sugar and stick back to you. This is of course only if you have pcos. Definitely talk to you gynocologist about options for you. I just started Metformin today and I'm hoping to be pregnant by Thanksgiving. Ive been trying naturally for 2 years now so I'm hopeful. Good luck and baby dust to you and everone reading this! ❤❤

      Hannah Lee I did in July. I was diagnosed with PCOS but my thyroid is normal. I’m currently doing keto. Everything for my body i was shown was normal % wise in numbers. I had to give 6 viles of blood and have a ultrasound done by the hospital down the road from my gynecologist. My ovaries do have a few cysts. I was also told by my regular doctor that intense workouts are not what help the symptoms of PCOS.

      Honestly, i didnt really notice that many symptoms. If i hadnt had the bloodtest to confirm I ovulated & then didnt get my period, I probably wouldn't have even tested. Looking back now, I probably did have some minor symptoms, but not enough to make me think to test!

    • @RiverOfBeautyNZ

      It took exactly for 4 weeks from taking the full prescribed dose of metformin to get my period (so about 6 weeks including increasing the dose). I didnt change my diet at all, I eat well for meals anyway but also eat takeaways/junk food throughout the week.

    Hello! Ive had PCOS for a few years now. Currently attempting to get pregnant. The doctor started me on Metformin Oct 18 AND Birth control. I was kind of sceptical on taking the birth control he said it would only be for two months to regulate my period but while taking the birth control also take metformin 3 times a day of 500. Do you think it was a bad idea to take the birth control as well?

      I'm not actually sure of the type, but it was affecting my insulin resistance. I was only on metformin for 2 months so can't really say, I do feel like my legs leaned out a little but I wasn't really overweight to begin with and apparently most people that lose weight on metformin is usually due to them also eating better (apparently metformin can cause you to be quite ill if you eat greasy foods for some people - but I didnt have that problem).

    How do you require about metformin with your doctor?

    • @RiverOfBeautyNZ
      @RiverOfBeautyNZ  5 років тому +3

      My doctor mentioned it was an option, and I did my research and after speaking with a fertility clinic they said I should try it first, so went back and asked my doctor. I'm sure its different in different countries though

    Hi, when you said you are taking Metform did you have insulin resistance? or Was it just cysts and no perioid?

    • @RiverOfBeautyNZ
      @RiverOfBeautyNZ  4 роки тому +5

      Insulin resistance, caused by PCOS. No period. I didnt have any cysts, they are considering changing the name of PCOS because it's not very accurate - most people with PCOS dont have cysts and I wasn't even tested for them.

    Will metformin cure Pcod completely? Will it dissolve the cysts?

    • @justbeingme2283
      @justbeingme2283 2 роки тому +2

      No there is no cure for pcos, but metformin helps with the symptoms and balances your hormones out... so if it balances the the hormones out you should be producing a lot less cysts. But there are a lot who are for and against metformin.
      But metformin isn't for everyone...so it might help for one person with their symptoms but not necessarily for another.
      But my advice is to eat a healthy diet on it and gentle excerises and drink plenty.
