Hey ladies

My name is Sharon....Shazz!

I normally post on TFAB and WTTFAB but i was just looking around and i notice alot of people are on Metformin for PCOS...which i dont have, but i do have Type1 diabetes, been diagnosed for 9yrs...

Is the metformin you talk about the same as what i take every day.....i take 4 tablets.

Can it help TTC???

Hi Shazz

Yep the metformin is the diabetic drug you are taking too, it was discovered by the medics to have a secondary use for PCOS and I think it is wonderful! Def can help TTC if you have PCOS, not sure about if it is being used purely for diabetes but as it helps with the insulin resistence it should help you too.  Check with your GP.

Sorry about your ticker (havent sussed mine out yet either lol).
