Re: A useful website for Metformin research

ok, great. :) i just have two questions.

1. a lot of these studies seem to say "no improvement in LH:FSH rations..." what does THAT mean? that metformin really isn't fixing us after all?

2. with so many studies showing that this treatment is so effective, why the heck is it taking so long for metformin to become an approved treatment for PCOS??? i am so afraid that when i move from here (which will be in about a year or so) i am not going to be able to find a doctor who will treat me. it's not fair that we have to go through hell & high water to get a doctor to treat us when there are treatments available, pending FDA approval. i just don't understand this!!

(On the other hand, i don't know why i am so upset about this in the first place, seeing as how i haven't yet seen the miracles i was hoping for on met... but i'm hoping i just haven't been on it long enough...)
