Re: So, health stuff. (I'm the anon who once posted about the skipped periods)

It's not life-threatening on its own, but it can lead to other issues - things like being insulin-resistant can lead to type 2 diabetes disturbingly easily. (For what it's worth, I've been on Metformin since I was diagnosed several years ago, and while it hasn't actually changed my weight or hair, it HAS returned my insulin levels to absolutely normal.)

Plus, if you ever do want to have kids, it can lead to difficulties conceiving. That is... SO not an issue with me, but it may be with you. So yeah, it is best to manage it.

Hey, another one who is on Metformin!

Now I'm wondering because Metformin was said to be good for losing weight: I've also been on Metformin since I was diagnosed with PCOS several years ago and I did lose weight (about 10kg and I was not exactly overweight just a bit chubby). The first two weeks on Metformin, I had no appetite and I was constantly nauseous (even had to puke a few times) - a really common by-effect with Metformin (according to the doctor and the information leaflet).

After this "settling-in period" I'm mostly fine but I have to watch what I'm eating. Before I could eat a lot of greasy things (like crisps) but now I have to really look out otherwise I have to puke.
I always wondered if other Metformin-users also have this.
But: Metformin cured my insulin resistance (and therefor the risk for Diabetes II)! (The weight loss war also nice)

Regarding weight loss, it does vary person by person, unfortunately. I was hovering around 115kg for ages - started going to the gym and watching food more, and dropped to about 100kg. Then I just got... stuck there and haven't lost any more despite every effort, heh. (On the plus side, I haven't gained any more, either!)

But yeah, I had a settling-in period as well - generally, ah, other stomach complaints, but that's long since settled. And yeah, the normal insulin levels are definitely the best part about it! Hormone levels, too. (I'm starting to think I might just be naturally hairy, given that my brother and father are furry as hell, and my Mum has some fuzz, too. If a combination of Metformin AND the pill doesn't do it, and my hormone levels are normal, then I think I'm just stuck with it. Oops.)
