A member asked:
Hey, i was diagnosed with pcos. i stopped taking my metformin med last year and my period were fine. but now it's irregular again. any help to stop it?

See your doctor: Did you stop your metformin on your own or was it with the recommendation of your physician? Are you on birth control pills? There is much that would need to be discussed with your physician. It is possible you will need to go back on metformin and/or be on birth control pills to keep things regular again. Please see your doctor and discuss these issues.
