Hello ladies!
I have a serious question. I currently am a PCOS fighter, trying different things to deal with this annoying disorder. I just got on 1000 mg of Metformin that I take twice a day, and have been for about two months.
Last month I started birthcontrol and missed 4 pills, due to feeling sick from Metformin.
I didn't make up those pills, but somehow beld for 4 days on the right time frame of the pill pack....which was odd. It was very light.
I now havent missed pills and am 2 weeks away from a period. Question is, why am I in so much pain/cramping?? Could I be pregnant? Any help is apreciated

Hi ksmoyer415! Sorry this response comes so late! I wish MFP was a bit better with notifying folks in groups when someone posts. Can you update us on what happened? I noticed that people have a lot of complications with metformin as far as cramping and diarrhea. I didn't show any negative side effects while paleo, only when grains and a lot of carbs in the form of grains were introduced.0
