Hi Nicole, yes it helps-thanks so much! I see my p-doc next week and I am definately going to talk to her- I haven't had a period in months. I did read about Glocophage helping PCOS patients a while back-but I didn't take action:( I need to see a specialist-really too.
First, I'm off to buy the August issue of Redbook LOL then to check out that website.
Have a great day!
Thanks Nicole (hug) I really appreciate it!Gal

Glucophage is the other med used in the drug trial which was conducted at the University of Texas Health Science Center. The two meds used in the study are used to treat diabetes and apparently, PCOS women are often insulin-resistant, which results in hormone imbalances.
