PCOS and METFORMIN??????!

PCOS and METFORMIN??????

I am experiencing infertility, my husband and i have been trying for a baby now for a little over a year with no luck, i decided to go and see an infertility specialist whom after two visits diagnosed me with PCOS.
I thought it wasn't possible i had no symptoms other than the infertility and absense of periods.. But i did, he had done some blood tests which revealed that i have elevated testosterone levels and high estrogen, everything else was great meaning my LH, FSH, Glucose was good, He told me he would like to put me on Metformin, i heard it can restore ovulation and improve chances of conception, possibly decrease my chances of having miscarriages (have had 3 losses so far, all in between 3-5 months along)..Anyways he told me he wanted to do an HSG and a Hysteroscopy befor going ahead with the medication, the only problem is i cannot afford those procedures at the moment..I know you can get metformin online but when and how should i use it? when in my cycles? please help!

Note; i do not have any of the typical symptoms, if anything i'm a bit underweight (5'2, 107lbs), i have no facial/body hair, no acne.....Only elevated testosterone..I'm afraid that if i take the metformin it will make me loose even more weight?
I have been trying to gain weight but no matter what i do, how i eat i cannot gain weight but i loose it no problem, i go a day without eating and i'v already lost 2 pounds!

I would encourage you to continue with your healthcare provider and level with her/him about your ability to afford the procedures they want to do. Your provider may still want you to take the Metformin. This drug is very cheap and can be gotten for four dollars at Walmart. Polycystic ovarian disease does not go away. It can lead to other problems with time and may need several madications. Thankfully, most of these meds are cheap. Follow through with provider long term care for yourself....even if you can't afford the procedures.
