Hi
I have underactive thyroid & high testosterone (family history of PCOs) and basically cannot lose weight

Stuck at around 13.7stone (165cm) since birth of 3rd DC.

Endocrinologist suggested metformin for weight loss. Started on 500mg per day but no difference so increased to 1000mg per day (500 morning, 500 night)

Has anyone else been prescribes it for high testosterone & weight loss and has it worked.

Thanks
