pcos is an "WHOLE" body aliment.. it will affect your hormones, hair, patuitory gland...etc... have them treat you with metformin.. not just the pill.. cause all it does is make ya bleed and doesn't do a thing for the rest of the problems..
the woman obgyn's think we should bleed because they do.. truth is twice a year is fine.. my mother is 82 and this is a family history and no cancer...if cancer runs in your family then pay closer attention.. other wise don't let them just make you bleed. it is a surface fix...also it will help you get pregnant and you should probably be on it for part of the pregnancy so you don't have complications..that is the metformin i meantrucker

This is one for your GP, and not as a panic thing. Just a case of, "Oh, and by the way, this hair is bugging me and my periods have stopped." The meds you've been on can also be culprits for all this. Remeron especially is associated with weight gain.
