First day of metformin has puffed me up like a fucking balloon

I was so nauseous and tired at work my colleagues sent me home, and I’ve had to loosen my belt 4 notches?! I had an iced latte which basically stopped the nausea somehow, idk if it lined my stomach more or if the sugars from the lactose helped but thank god 🙌🏻 I feel like at nearly 26 I’m having to completely relearn how to look after myself tbh

I’ve also decided to stagger my new meds and wait a few days to start the pill, I need a chance to see what side effects come from what tablet (plus I would get my first period break the weekend of my brothers wedding if I start now lmao)

Is PCOS intersex?  Can I call myself intersex?  I have highly elevated androgens and facial hair and only get my period from pills, am I intersex?

Eek

Had a GP appointment this morning and got all of my forms and copies of tests I've had so far for IVF. I'm having bloods on Monday morning and then HV swabs in the afternoon... I'm then going to book an appointment with our Consultant for a couple of weeks time when we have all of the results back. On another note, they have no idea what's wrong with me. I've got some more anti sickness and encouragement to keep trying to eat. He did wonder if it were my antidepressants (which would be odd as I've been on them with no change for a year) and to try and take them on an evening to see if it makes any difference. At the Doctors Arthur sat on my knee, smiling and cuddling me. He was happy and smiley but wouldn't let go of me. I think he remembers the times he has been before. He will hate me on Wednesday as are going for his vaccinations 😞. I wish I could go with someone for his vaccinations as it always makes me want to cry.

TMI

I've recently been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and my periods have been crazy. I came on last week, about two weeks early and usually my periods last a couple of days (I've always been quite lucky), but we're on the 7th day and there's no sign of it stopping. I feel rubbish, it's really heavy and painful and I'm lethargic and queasy too. Does anyone else have polycystic ovaries that can help a girl out? Are there any medications/painkillers I can take? Or just words of advice. 😞

PCOS and the Insulin Connection

If you have PCOS it is highly likely that you are also insulin resistant as 80% of women are. Let’s dive into what this actually means

The common treatment for PCOS is Metformin within the medical system, however for those not wanting a lifelong new medication there are alternatives that have been shown to be just as effective

So my question to the ladies here are where kind of birth control method are you on and how do you like it?
