HI
I was diagnosed with pcos three years ago. I started on glucophage at the
end of May of this year. After not having a non-drug induced period in 9
years, i had one on July 9-13. Now, i'm having another and its just July
21. Has anyone experience this problem. Oh, i thought i would be ovulating
about this time. I will call my doctor but can anyone else give me some
insight about what's going on. Thanking u in advance.
sonja you can email me at srjf1@yahoo.com
