UCH is the univerty college hospital in london the specilist is Dr Conway hes very good even if he is not very good at explaining things hence my use of this excellent site. I take my first pill of Met tonight V. nervous but I have held off since November taking it because I felt that I needed to know more about the medication until I took it. The use of metformin for PCOS is slowly becoming avalible but try and get your doctor to talk to him if he won't listen to you.
