Ladies on this I have yet ANOTHER questions..lol
I uped my dose from 500mg to 1000mg a couple nights ago.
I started Thursday night.
Friday & Saturday I have sleept through the night both nights... I NEVER do this. I did not even take any Melitonin or Ambion.

Could this be due to the Metformin? Was my PCOS keeping me from sleeping?
Another thing that I noticed and this could be the whole getting up at night is I am not having to potty as much as before. I was waking up every 2-4 hours before this.

Wonder if I was starting to show signs of prediabetic? Dont they drink a ton and potty a lot? Because that was me. But my sugar levels were in the 80's when fasting.

I don't know anything about PCOS, but I found a few sites when I googled PCOS and insomnia.

It definitely sounds like the PCOS could have been a big factor in your not being able to sleep. I hope the Metformin does the trick for all the problems you're having!

[.:Shortcake:.]

Isn't it amazing that now that you know what you have you find out that some of the symptoms you were having were caused from it?!? All of those symptoms could have been from the PCOS but also other conditions. I'm glad it seems to be working and I hope it continues to work for you

Its crazy is what it is... All these years I have been complaining about not feeling good, not being able to sleep, thinking I have over active bladder, thinking about seeing a dermatologist about my skin, had laser hair removal etc. My weight I never thought about because I was around 155-160 (but just got up to 165 in Jan) but I dont excersize and eat a lot of sweets so I just thought thats where all my extra weight came from... I am only 5'4. But now that I am on the Met I am down to 152 (13 pounds down). I would love to be in the 130's and got Zumba for Wii for my B-day and was going to start that this week

I am amazed at how many things that are wrong with me are now being fixed by a little pill.

I kept going to my family DR because all this keeps getting worse as I get older.
-The tiredness she tested my thyriod and anemic panel (all normal) Then told me its just part of getting older and with having a Toddler I should expect to be tired. UGH but my friends with 2-3 kids were all runnin circles around me.

-the potty thing she did a urine sample and said nothing can be found and just dismisted it.



I asked my OB if this is just something I am on while TTC and pregnant and he said no I can be on it after if its working for me. He said I can even stay on it my whole pregnany to help reduce a chance of GD because PCOS mommys have a higer chance of getting it.... but I need to ask if its safe to take while breastfeeding because if the next baby is anything like DD I nursed her for 2.5 years.

I am so happy the Metformin is working for you. I have been off of mine for a week and just went back on it last night. I am paying for that right now.
