Hi Sophie, Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have heard that Glucophage is supposed to help with weight loss. To be honest, I haven't noticed any difference with my weight while taking it. The only change has been with my periods. I bet the Glucophage would help with the length of your periods ( I remember the days of the month long periods! no fun) Consider the Glucophage--- and hope you get some help! Krissie
