Gloria,

I'm in the same boat. I just upped my Metformin to 1500 a day. You'll adjust eventually. I actually have more energy since starting Metformin. Before I was a total slug. Now at least I feel like doing some stuff around the house.

I'd love to hear about any websites or book info you find. I'm struggling to find the right way to eat, also.

Take care, Jane

>>Please respond :)I am just thinking of taking Metformin, I am 41 with pco and no childern. I am overweight and heard it can help you to lose weight. I would love to hear how it is working on you and the side effects you are feeling. And from anyone else taking this pill. I'm very nervous about taking this pill because of all I have taken with my inferitlity. I have been through everything out there, with no luck. I have not done anything for the past 4 years, after 15 years of heartace and disapointment. Now I would love to lose some weight if I can. That has been another losing battle. Please respond....
