I am new to this group but have had pcos for 15 years. I have read " Living with PCOS" as my Dr. suggested. It gives some great info. I am taking The brand name Glucophage 500 twice daily. I tried the generic and had increased ovarian pain. Switched back to brand and feel much better. My Gyn. says it should also help with weight loss. With out being on any plan I lost 10 pds. in 4 mos. So I can't wait to see what I can do on Atkins. I also have a 2 year old due to Clomid and Aygestin. So I hope this helps. Terri L.
