hi, i hope the met helps me. my doctor really stressed the point that i
need to use a form of bc because met will make me ovulate. he doesn't know
this is what i want. i haven't had a perod since may so i feel like it may
be a good thing to have it soon. I guess i'll have to call in some provera.
thanks for responding. melissa
