Hey everybody, my name is Carrie and I've lurked a little the last few days, but just recently I was diagnosed with PCOS, and started on metformin more so for the regulation of my cycle & ovulation (sugar levels are pretty much in check and I am working on improving my bmi already). DH and I are working on ttc#1 Just wanted to say "hi!" to all you ladies because I think i'll be around a little more now. happy memorial day wknd!

Welcome to the board. Thankfully they were able to diagnose you soon into your TTC journey. I have PCOS and am just starting my third medicated cycle. There are quite a few of us here with PCOS so you will have a lot of support.
Good luck.
