Have you called around to different doctors (obgyn, RE, and endo) and asked to find out if anyone does Metformin for PCOS?

Most doctors recommend not going without a period for no longer than 3 months. I realize you may not like the BCP, but with higher chances of endometrial cancer in not having them, is that something you are willing to risk? You might want to see if your doctor will prescribe Provera or Prometrium, and see if that will give you a period, that's another option.

Hi I am 34. I was Dx. with PCOS at the ripe old age of 17. At the time the practice was to Rx. BCP's. I have never been able to take them long without side effects. I have two children by the grace of God. We tried for a third with no success. I have seen my OB/Gyn for several years and a reproductive endo. I can't get them to Rx. the Metphorin. I have a vast family history of diabetes, but have not been Dx. with it. Does anyone know a Doctor in the Jacksonville, Florida area that is PCOS intellegent? Also, how long is it safe to go without a period? My doctor has given me the choice of BCP's or hystorectomy. I don't think this is much of a choice. I am feeling rather desparate at this point. I don't cycle at all on my own anymore.
