I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries about 6 months ago, when my periods became irregular with sudden weight gain. I failed to see a doctor until now. My college doctor prescribed me Diane 35 and Metformin for six months. I want to lose weight as that will relieve the irregular periods. However, I am very skeptical about taking Diane 35, as I have heard about the side effects. And I have never taken a pill before. Can I skip the pills and just take Metformin, while exercising and losing weight? My height is 5'5 and a sudden weight gain of 77 kgs,
