I went to the doctor yesterday for a follow up on the hormone medication and just to talk about where we are and what we are doing. The hormone medication worked for the couple months I was on it so were hoping my body will regualte itself now. The doctor prescribed me metformin, a medicine that is commonly used to treat diabetes but it's been proven to help PCOS women ovaluate. It also helps with metabolism, so hopefully it will help with the diet. We are going to try this for a couple months and see how my body reacts. The doctor really wants me to "be healther" and lose some weight before we jump into clomid or anything like that. I've been thinking about weight watchers or something but it all seems complicated. I've been tracking on sparkpeople.com and i like it, it's fairly easy to use.
Metformin can make you sick, the doctor warned me most women have a lot of nausea and sickness while on this medication, so not to confuse it with any morning sickness or anything else. On the bright side, that might help with the diet.
the good news out of all of this is I get to stop the progestrone, hormone drugs! Maybe I'll be a little nicer now :)
