Hi,

Am sorry to hear about your experience. Metformin really is the drug of choice for us ladies with PCOS, particularly as you are TCC - and leading researchers on PCOS generally seem to be in favour of using it. Do you have the option to change drs? This is your life and your ability to have a family or not. If you can't change, can you do heaps of research (particularly medical stuff that he might respect more) and present it to him to try to change his mind. Can you convince him that this is your decision......

Best wishes and good luck.
