Metformin!!!
I just wanted to post here as no one else in my life just gets what a big deal this is !!! I almost feel like I’m 14 and celebrating getting my period for the first time again.
Bit of a backstory…
I came off hormonal contraception in March 2025 as I couldn’t deal with the migraines anymore.
Despite having irregular periods all my life, after 6 months no contraception, I didn’t have a period.
Went to my GP in September 2025, and they prescribed cyclic progesterone to induce a bleed, which hospitalised me - I was very close to needing a blood transfusion after filling a 25ml menstrual cup every 2-4hrs, for around 22 days straight. They did an ultrasound, and found the most obvious “string of pearls” the doctor had ever seen - and got diagnosed with PCOS. I was then put on the waiting list to see a consultant Gynaecologist.
I had my gynaecologist appointment 6 weeks ago, and was put on Metformin… and today, I got my period back. I am so happy.
Who knows what is happening with my body, but I kinda feel a sense of normality returning since this diagnosis
