Topic: RE: A Quick Question...
Although I don't have the answer to your question I wanted to tell you your not alone.  I too am 30 yrs been diagnosed since the age of 16.  Have only had a period 3-5 times since the age of 13.  Ive been unsuccessful at getting pregnant for about the same 10 yrs.  I haven't had my surgery yet. But I'm hoping this will help!

Good luck
Jackie

Topic: RE: Periods?
wow that's amazing.  Like you the only time I've gotten my period is when its been induced by birth control.  I wonder if I will become regular post op?  Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
Jackie

Topic: RE: Periods?
you know, what's funny, due to PCOS, i've always been irregular or never had a period unless birth control induced...

I had my surgery january 17th of this year, after going roughly 5 months without a period, and it came on it's own the next day in the hospital.  30 days later it came again.  so it's only been 2 months worth...but it's looking up.

 Yes, that is what I do and was encouraged to do.

So you just take both of your pills at the same time?

 I have not had surgery as of yet, but when I went back on the Met, after a a year or so off, I take my pills at night. So, for the most part, any issues I might have, I sleep through. Yes I have diaherea first thing in the morning, but other than that, it is much better to tolerate the met. I am taking 1000mg.

Topic: Back on Metformin and sick!
I have recently started taking Metformin again for my PCOS.  My husband and I want to start trying to conceive again in May, so my doctor told me to go ahead and get back on it.  I started with the 500mg one time a day for a week.  Mild diarreha, but that went away.  The second week I started taking 500 mg 2 times a day.  That is when everything went crazy!
I am SOO sick when I try to take two.  Headache, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and just overall sick feeling.  It is like my blood sugar is dropping too low. 
I never had these happen before surgery.  Anyone else have these problems after WLS?
