Using BCPs and metformin From: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 24 Jun 2002 16:18:29 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Sonnet: "PCOSA News" Previous message: Lori: "Re: Clomid" Next in thread: Victoria: "Re: Using BCPs and metformin" Maybe reply: Victoria: "Re: Using BCPs and metformin" I have been reading the threads on the use of BCPs and met, but I am still unclear on whether it is okay to combine these or not. I am currently only on BCPs (ortho-cyclen), but am very curious about metformin and its effects on acne, hair, and weight, etc. I am not trying to get pregnant yet. I have had PCOS since my late teens (I am now 32) and have only used BCPs to help symptoms. I want to see if metformin makes a difference. I also have not had any GTT tests, but my fasting glucose was within normal limits, so I am not sure I have insulin resistance or it hasnt shown up on tests. Any info on combining BCPS and met would be great! Also-what is the best argument to persuade my doctor to put me on metformin if he objects based on negative results to insuling resistance? Thanks!!! I am so glad to have found this discussion group.
