Re: Metabolife type drugs effect PCOS? (new here!)From: Kodie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 26 Nov 2001 20:47:05 -0600 (CST)
Hi! I am looking for a couple answers and don't really know where to go. Looking on the internet there are very many different places to go and not really in specific. Since you have been on metabolife for awhile was wondering if you can just answer stuff. I know everyone is different. I do not have PCOS and am interested what that is. I am on Trilevlin which is a form of birth control that is a little stronger than orthotricyclen(the popular pill) so I have been told. I want to make sure I will not get pregnant cause I have been through enough already but also want to lose some weight where I won't gain it back so easily. I worked my butt off on depo (the birth control shot) and lost 40 lbs well about 4 months later is was all back on cause of depo so this is why I am going this route and that's why I got off the depo. If you have any insight it would be much appreciated thanks for your help kodie At Fri, 2 Nov 2001, Dona wrote: > >HI, >I don't know what it does to IR but I am not diabetic nor am I >hypoglycemic so I am sure I am fine taking it,my doctor didnt object and >didn't have an opinion about it.
