so i just found out i have pcos today and got prescribed metformin & birth control pills. can someone tell me your experience on metformin? what it does to your body and if it worked? will the facial hair growth go away? will i have weight loss or weight gain? and as for birth control pills do i have to take them? i just got off depo shot cause i wanted to be done with BC not go back on it :( because it made me gain weight and feel like shit. so do i need to take it? thanks!
