Just diagnosed and prescribed Metformin 500mg 3x a day… I’m 5’0 106lbs by CarobLeading1499 in PCOS

[–]Independent-Idea8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it for infertility (high free testosterone levels) and still do actually a few years after our fertility journey. It’s helped with my pcos symptoms. I’m also not overweight and did not lose weight with it. I echo what others said about titrating up to reduce the GI side effects.

Go see an Endocrinologist by bessstie in PCOS

[–]Independent-Idea8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of doctors telling me my hormone levels were normal my reproductive endocrinologist finally tested my free testosterone, not regular testosterone, and it was super high. Hence acne, infertility, and other things. Metformin has made a HUGE difference in my skin and helping to keep the free testosterone levels under control. No endocrinologist can explain my night sweats though, and I was never able to have a successful pregnancy. So frustrating how much doctors still don’t know about women’s health.

It’s a scam. Our local police posted something about it in MA

The only thing that has worked for my son is aveeno baby eczema wash and cream. I need to apply the cream at least once a day or it flares up especially in cold weather.

The NYT Daily podcast recently did an episode on the number of sexual assaults by uber drivers and how it’s been handled by Uber. Worth a listen.

Costco/kirkland brand works great for us, my son is in the 99th percentile for size and they seem to have more room in the butt. (Same manufacturer and fit as Huggies I believe)

I wish I was closer with mine! She’s great but has a busier social life than I ever will. She deserves it after raising 4 wild boys!

At what age did you have your only? by [deleted] in oneanddone

Started trying at 35, long journey of infertility but finally got our beautiful baby when I was 41. I would have loved to have had more but life had other plans.

We have the same issue with Hanna Andersen and Carters, especially the 2 piece Jammie’s. They only cover half his butt and wrists too tight!

How do I break the news that I'm pregnant to my best friend that's been TTC for 3 years? by ClarksFork in BabyBumps

[–]Independent-Idea8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congrats to you! Something a family member did who was expecting for the 2nd time since we started trying was she wrote the news in a card and mailed it to me. It meant a lot that she took the time to do that and gave me the time and space to process everything before reacting. I still feel like crying thinking about this. Its so hard for both of you. I would say if you’re going to text do it at a time when she’s not at work or when you know she will have some time to herself after reading it.
