Provera And Metformin
Posted: 09-26-06 22:22pm

Hello,

well today I was told by my gyno that I have pcos and that I have to start taking provera for 10 days a month and that if I want I can start taking metformin. If anybody else has taken these can you offer me any input about them? Such as the side effects and if you were able to conceive on them? I would appreciate it. I have been looking up metformin on the net to decide whether or not if I want to start taking it. Thanks, any input would be super:)

Metformin

Hi there!! I currently take metformin for my pcos as well as my diabetes. I notice with myself that the metformin as well as the glipizide I take for my diabetes can c ause low blood sugar as well as alittle dizziness with the higher dosages. My specialist recommended the metformin as soon as I was diagnosed with the pcos. Good luck to you!
