>hi cat, thanks for the advice, i will look it up. im on 2000 mg metformin, but i agree with you, i think the pill does work against the metformin, as it worked for the first 3 months i was on it (last may) i was a stone lighter, the weight fell off at first, but my hair started falling out so i went back on the pill, probably a bad move. then i went on yasmin, which was even worse, i think i put on about 71bs in 3 months, so ive stopped that. I think il try without dianette and see what happens. Have you had any success with the progesterone? Do you have cream or the tablets? Sorry for all the questions, im getting desperate, im getting married next year and need to be thin and have full head of hair!!!
