Hi Robyn
Insulin Resistence is an underlying symptom of PCOS. You are right, Metformin is a diabetic drug, but they are seeing great potential in it to help relieve the symptoms of PCOS (including helping lose weight and regulate periods).

Thanks for the welcomes everyone
Cheers

Hi and welcome to oh baby!
Im curious about you taking metformin for pcos, do you know how it solve that problem? Its just that i have been told I have gestational diabetes and if I need insulin they have asked if I would take part in a trial using metformin instead of insulin and apparently is used to treat normal diabetes and GD around the world. I didnt realise it can be used for pcos or that it helped with weight lose.]]> Fri, 05 May 2006 22:31:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2375&PID=44285&title=newbie#44285 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2375&PID=44244&title=newbie#44244 Author: Kazzle

Hey everyone. I'm a newbie here!
My name is Lou (short for Louisa), my hubby is Simon...we have been married for one year in June. We live in the best city in NZ, Wellywood!

We are currently TTC but having some issues due to the evil PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
Currently seeing a specialist who has said "LOSE WEIGHT"...so thats basically where we are at! I am also taking metformin to assist the PCOS systems!

Congrats to all those expecting bubs!
Baby dust to all those trying!

Cheers
