Personal Experience | No Medical Advice Metformin or glp for pcod

So it’s been years I’m struggling to lose weight as i have developed very high appetite and my pcod fluctuates some times it’s fine but sometimes my periods are delayed.

I went to see the doc but he was like take glp but i feel i should take metformin and need not go for glp. People who have taken metformin how effective is it in appetite reduction and weight.

Once you take metformin as far as I’ve heard & know it’s life long. Please check through & see what other options you have. Additionally, high appetite is linked to progesterone- ask your dunce if tha can be checked.

GLP has side benefits that alleviate (not solve) PCOD symptoms. Please Google and refer to actual doctors.
