Oh, for PCOS, yes! Many of my friends with PCOS have been prescribed Metformin by their gynaecologists. It helps with regulating cycles and other symptoms. Definitely talk to your doctor about it and see if it's a good option for you.

PCOS? Ugh, another health thing to worry about. Yeah, I've heard Metformin is pretty common for it. My sister takes it. Honestly, I'm just tired and hoping for simple answers, but with health, it's never simple, is it? Just ask your doc, they have to know.
