Does Metformin….

Ever make you bleed?

As in what you think might be a period but it isnt.

I’ve had two lots of bleeding in 2 weeks.

but sorry for the graphicness -

but it’s brown and not enough to have to use sanitary towels.

Only when wiping.

Anyone have a clue about this?

Could it be the tablets?

I swear this is the worlds most unsexy form of medication, I mean the side effects of PCOS are far from sexy anyways , but really, metformin, give me a break!

I am starting a new job tomorrow and I need to take a packed lunch with me. there may not be a refrigerator or any way of heating up food, usually a sandwich would be perfect.

I need low carb packed lunch ideas stat! the shops shut soon.

Thanks!
