Hi! I am in your exact position. I was diagnosed with PCOS during fertility workups and also conceived easily with the injectibles (a 4 year old son and twin 9 month old girls). I am wanting to lose weight, lose facial hair and get my female cycle closer to normal (only for health purposes - not to get pregnant again). I will get my Glucophage (assume it is the same as Metformin) tonight or tomorrow and am worried about the possible diarreha affects - I rarely get time to go to the bathroom as is. My endrocrinologist said it is safe so I am hoping that is true. Let me know how it does or has been doing for you.
