Hey, i have been on metformin for 6 mos. and i also have pcos. i have lost about 30 pounds since i started the metformin! It has also helped me with ovulation. My doctor started me on clomid. when i reached 150mg and still hadnt ovulated he added the metformin. I have been ovulating regularly since the first month on both. As for the side effects i havent had any. I have to say that i did try metformin a few years ago and i experienced severe bowl problems. it was so bad i wouldnt leave my house for the two weeks. As soon as i stopped taking it i was fine again. I told my current doctor that i didnt want to be on metformin because i didnt want to go through that again. I have to say that i am so glad i gave it another chance! It all depends on the person. Good luck!
