Comparing Metformin vs Trulicity

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome I got my first period when I was 11 and was regular up until I was 14 and then they stopped. Fast forward to 2015 and I hadn't had a period at all for 5 years. I decided to finally do something about it, I was actually enjoying the lack of periods to be honest! I had some tests done and the diagnosis of PCOS was confirmed. My doctor put me on metformin 500mg twice a day and I hated it. I was so nauseous for the first two weeks, frequent diarrhea and lots of dizziness but it all passed. After that I began to have more energy aaaaand my period came back. It makes you feel really gross at first but if you can survive the first few weeks you'll be all good!

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Since my last child 5 years ago my body has been all out of whack piling on the weight, late periods or none at all for months on end, no matter how much I dieted and exercised the weight would not come off. My doctor diagnosed me with depression at first and took bloods to find out I had polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have been prescribed two 500mg doses a day of metformin and at first had quite a bad stomach upset for approximately the first 3 weeks. I am now rolling into my 5th week and feel great. The weights slowly coming off and the side effects are non existent now. Hoping to conceive a child soon if things go to plan.

For Diabetes, Type 2 I take Metformin, have since 2008. Just last November my Doctor put me on 0.75 dosage, because my A1C was 7.5. I was nauseated a few times, but it passed quickley. In February, my A1C had only dropped to 7.2, so she put me on 1.50 dosage. I have had horrible indigestion, stomach cramps, back pain and just feel downright horrible with chest pains, every time I eat, no matter what it is. I asked her to put me back on the lower dosage, so wish me luck. It did help me lose a little weight, even on the lower dose.
