I needed this! I just found out I have pcos this literally has been my life the past 6 months and my doctor wants me to start metformin and I’m nervous but I’m ready to have a baby and get my cycles regulated

[@JJLSWARTZ]

[@RiverOfBeautyNZ]

Good luck!

[@RA-il1ce]

I was diagnosed with pcos in August 2019. Have been taking metformin for past 9 months. Hoping and praying for my miracle.

[@Lolas_Lifestyles]

Itll come. Came for me!!!

[@ramisa6095]

did it work

[@emyywolf]

You have to take it WITH the food, put the pill inside a sandwich for example

[@madeleinelock960]

It's so hard to find people talking about amenorrhea cause by pcos and not hypothyroidism

[@nakeiababayale750]

Thank you so much for sharing darling! 💛

[@adriennebalabarca2078]

Thanks for sharing! I’m thinking about taking metformin and see if it helps with the crazy hormones!

[@RiverOfBeautyNZ]

good luck!

[@cccccccccccc242]

Did you start taking it? I just was prescribed to it and would like to know if this helps with hormones. Mine are also all over the place and I can't stand it😫

[@BiomedbyAnna]

Took metformin yesterday and got spotting this morning 😝.. i knew along with irregular periods i have insulin resistance (muffin top urghh)

[@tiona_artist]

Thank you for sharing! Could you please, what did you mean 4 your dose? Was it 500 mg of metformin in the morning at 500 mg of it in the evening?

[@gauravk7343]

Thanks for the video.. You look beautiful .

[@am2391]

Did you continue to take your metformin even after you got your period? Like during? I'm on my third week of metformin and finally got my cycle after 5 months 😭❤️ it's super heavy though. I did what you did as well take half doses to start and honestly the side effects weren't so bad. Some nausea and slight headache

[@theltwins]

Has anyone had any success with pcos/hormonal imbalance pelvic and abdominal pain going away with Metformin? Thanks!

[@sayandipta]

Noo I am using metformin for 2 yrs now

[@opaloakley]

@@sayandipta Did Metformin make you sick?

[@kristycoulson8242]

Hey River you can tell if you've ovulated or not by taking your temperature each morning as soon as you wake & before you get out of bed. If you get 3 elevated temps in a row it indicates ovulation & then the temp will drop right before your period. Just something to keep in mind that I found quite helpful :)

[@RiverOfBeautyNZ]

I have heard that's a good way to tell, I might look into that. I have ovulation tests that I'm trying at the moment, but I kind of find them annoying to use - so taking my temperature might be a better idea. Thanks!

[@opaloakley]

Were you taking the regular Metformin or the Extended Release Metformin?

[@prochiturel3541]

Do you take Metformin before meals or after meals?

[@prochiturel3541]

Thank you

[@seeuamanda4355]

hi~ Just wondering is there any sideaffect for Metformin? My doctor suggests me to take it. A little bit worried about it. I have pcos when I was 16. Now I’m 18.

[@RiverOfBeautyNZ]

You should discuss the side effects with your doctor. I didnt have any issues, but I know some people do.

[@seeuamanda4355]

RiverOfBeauty thank you!

[@kinndah2519]

I had side effects of extreme muscle aches and pain. I took berberine with metformin and that helped. Berberine is a natural supplement. It prevents lactic acid build up.

[@seeuamanda4355]

@@kinndah2519 thank you for sharing. I took Metformin for 2 months and it help my period. but now I stop because I found that weigh loss actually help my period, so I just do regular daily routine.

[@opaloakley]

@@seeuamanda4355 Did the Metformin make you sick?

[@nataileellis1464]

Did you have irregular period with pcos and how long it take to get pregnant

[@roso827]

Did you take anything else with meyformin?

[@ehli7251]

Im 20. And i was prescribed Metformin for 3 months. And then i couldn't go for further checkup due to money reasons. Now its been 3 months since I've missed my periods, so i am wondering if i should start taking Metformin again. Without consulting the doctor. Is it safe?

[@ehli7251]

I havent been wjth anyone for 2 years now. Been single.

[@amygemmell4739]

I liked this video. Keep us updated 😍

[@Brittannnnnnny]
