Metformin, could this medicine help my ovarian cysts? I'm not even diabetic!?

I dont really know very much on this however what i do know is i was offered metformin when i first was diagnosed with PCOS i tried it and was on it for approx 2years and i hated it... the side affects were terrible and after reading more info on the net and what other women had experienced with metformin i quickly went straight back to my gp asking for something else ive now been on medroxyproesterone for 3years and its been amazing.. does what it says on the box so to speak! and so far not one side affect so far so good. Definatly read up on the net :)

I was also taken aback to read your question - Metformin being used for polycystic ovaries, after having seen it on the net it was startling that Metformin could perhaps be used for polycystic ovaries, you could read more articles on: http://www.jkscience.org/archive/Volume73/role.pdf & http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/glucophage-metformin-pcos.html, however please do check it with a specialist/gynecologist, & if you are able to find more information? Please do also let me know, thanks.
