Feeling weird...Warning very long :( sorry

[Sara2009]

Hello Girls! I dont really know what i am looking for lol... I just wanted to tell someone about the symptoms im having besides my friends that know we are secretly TTC. I have PCOS my last period was April 29th and i started Metformin once a day on June 23rd (about 3 weeks ago...i was suppose to start them early June but family issues but a hold on it) well i was suppose to start 2 a day last thursday but completely forgot so i figure ill stay on one a day for another week and start 2 on thursday. Last week i forgot to take one thursday and then again saturday and by the time i remembered it was late so i just thought i will take it the next day. well for the last week or two i have had a few headaches, little constipation, extra discharge, pinching/pain feeling in my lower abdomen, itchy/uncomfortable boobies, (Sorry TMI ) I keep getting like hot flashes only they last a little longer than a flash, when i get hungry its like all of a sudden i go from having the munchies to im STARVING! then i feel like i am so full i feel uncomfortable no matter how much i eat, very nausaus like enough to make me know it is there for hours but i never actually get sick. very gassy the last few days. When i talked to the Dr on June 22nd she said to start the metformin and if i dont start in the next month to call and they will call in something to jump start AF... I would LOVE to be prego right now and i hope that it comes for all of us sooner than later, i just dont want to take a test and be disappointed....what do you ladies think? should i test or wait??

I really don't know anything about the drug you are taking or it's effects. Even though you risk disappointment, I'd test. It's the only way you will know. Good luck!

hey, i would just test to ease your mind maybe like aquaria6 said! good luck hun!!!

Same as the other ladies said. Just to cross one of the suspects off the list more than anything.

I hope everything is figured out soon for you. GL!

metformin may unsettle your stomach at first. i recommend taking 1 per day with your tea at first (best to take wiht food and not on empty stomach) then if you are ill you are at home that evening. the symptoms die down in a few days to a week-then build up to two a day etc depending how many you are on. im on 3 a day. ive only been ttc for 2 weeks and had 0 af as i was on the pill for 7 yrs. i too have lots of odd feelings atm but i think its the lack of pill confusing me! let us know how the test went xxx

what dpo are you? sounds similar to the way I felt 5-12dpo, then all symptoms went away around when AF was due but instead of AF my nipples just started feeling super sore.. 17dpo today and 6 days late, faint bfp this morning but only with FMU still feel super uncomfortably full even after a snack but its not after EVERY time I eat like it was last week, I had a couple pieces of watermelon and could barely move after it was awful! GL!

Everyone's different I'm sure but my experience with Metformin is that the side affects are mostly stomach related. Although if it IS helping your PCOS the changes in those hormones could be causing the weird feelings. If you need a PCOS friend/ TTC partner let me know
