Hey ladies - I had normal blood test results but because of other symptoms the doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on metformin. I'm going on my third month and basically see no changes. What is supposed to be happening?
I was and still am ovulating around day 22, haven't lost any weight, am still hungry, etc.
Did Metformin do nothing for anyone?

Hello!
I also have PCOS, diagnosed 2010. My doctor put me on Metformin, Clomid, and progesterone. The progesterone set my cycles back on track, and then I was done with it. The Metformin is a little less obvious of an effect. From what I've come to understand, it affects the ammonia in your cycle. My doctor kept me on it when I was pregnant with my first child, and I took it until after I had my son. Just recently I started TTC again, and now I'm back on Metformin. It's actually a medicine more conventionally used to treat diabetes, and if you list it on your taken medications for some other sort of medical visit, you may need to explain that you have PCOS, not diabetes.
I guess the short answer is that Metformin doesn't do anything that you'll necessarily notice, but it's still doing its job.
