@Lisa okay thank you. I asked doctors about having this years ago so was shocked that he just offered it when I was talking about weight loss. I’m hoping it will help my weight loss then in turn will help my periods return. X
I lost half a stone on it. Regarding your lack of periods - have you had your b12 , vit d , feretin, prolactin and Also a full blood count all done ?
@Laura no I haven’t
Def ask for them ^ low feretin can be a ' reason ' for awol periods
I’ve been on Metformin for PCOS for about 10 years. It does help.
@Kim that’s great to know, iv started it today so fingers crossed 🤞 it agrees with me and works x
Yes I had it from the fertility clinic to help my weight loss. It did work but found it rough to start with, gave me an upset stomach but just had to get used to it x
