So I have been taking this lovely drug for a month (started 11/2008). A week before that I was told by my dr that I had P.C.O.S. It makes me wonder if I havent had it this whole time. I dont know what normal is. When all my friends were on their periods they would tell me "oh your so lucky to only have your period for 3 days and just a few times a year" No one in my family that I talked to had this problem. I thought this was just how god made me. Not normal. So I was put on Birth Control, which I stopped taking in October of 2006. Just in time to meet my Mr. wonderful. I got a awsome job for a big company in April 2007 making the big bucks but working my butt off. In August of 2007 while at work I found myself unable to walk. ER said I had a large cyst on one of my ovaries. A cat scan also proved that I needed my gallbladder removed A.S.A.P. After my surgery for that the cyst was gone and this whole time it was my back that was causing me not to walk.So I had to quit my job. I started a new job a year later, one that as not so stressful and less labor involved.  Since all of this one thing that has shocked me is I started getting my period about every 38-45 days. But it was beyond heavy. I had to call into work atleast one day during my period. Trust me I was not making it out of the house that day. Dr told me that because I had my gallbladder removed this causes my estrogen in my body which is why now Im having periods. Test were done and they told me I have P.C.O.S. Im not going to lie I cryed I was thinking theres the reason why I havent become a mommy and why I probally wont. Now I know I was wrong. Now Im taking Metformin which is no fun at all. I was up to taking a full pill in the morning and one half at night before I had a reaction and ended up at the dr. Now Im back down to one half a pill and trying to get my body use to it. Its not easy!!!! Today Ive had enough so I got online and found a support group which I probally needed about a month ago.
