Metformin for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

I've had the blood tests, and the ultrasound. The ultrasound didnt show any cysts on my ovaries, but the blood test result did indicate that if I wasn't on the contraceptive pill I may develop cysts. The doctor has put me on Metformin. What changes should I experience as a result of this medication?

Wow! I actually have PCOS too. I'm taking Metformin 3 times a day. My OB told me that the metformin would help regulate my Androgen levels. In case you're having painful & heavy flow during your periods, you can expect less of that as soon as your hormones are in place. Another difference I noticed is that my body is now reacting better to diet and exercise. I used to try so hard to shed off the pounds and I get very little if any results. Since I started taking Metformin, I've been losing weight steadily. Cheer up, sweetie! Things are going to get better! You can email me if you need more information.

Yep, I am a cyster too! lol

Being on metformin didnt really affect me much. It was hard to remeber to take it. Thats all x
