Hello, I am so sorry for all that you are going through..Why did the
doctor give you Glucophage? Because PCOS is a syndrome which Insulin
Resistance problems. This is a good thing, if you in fact have PCOS. If
your doctor isn't giving you a chance to talk, how about trying another
doctor? I know that's a hassle, but its a good idea. I was diagnosed w/
PCOS by two doctors, but they didn't even want to give me gluc..so, I am
seeing ANOTHER on the 23rd as well. I am going to go to a Reproductive
Endocrinologist. I would suggest you may try this route as well..I am
just tried of screwing around w/ doctors who don't really understand
PCOS...Good luck to you!
