Hey, so I found out I have PCOD on Sunday and I've been put on this tablet called glycomet. Im supposed to take it once daily after lunch. I've got a few things I'm worried about. First, will this tablet make me gain weight? Im already overweight and I dont want to add to it. Also, ever since I started taking it, I feel super bloated and not hungry at allis that normal? I have a feeling it might be because of the tablet. And does it cause heat in the body? My doctor told me to drink three tender coconuts and lots of buttermilk. Is there any specific food I should be avoiding while on this medication? Would love your input!

I'm a bit worried about my recent fasting blood sugar level, which came out to be 87 mgdL. Also, my mom's result was 98.97. I'm around 6 feet tall and weigh about 100 kg. With these numbers, do I have prediabetes? And what about my mom? Is she at risk too? What steps should we take?

My HSG report shows BL fimbrial blockage and I really want to avoid surgery are there any other ways to clear it naturally or with meds? What are my options for treatment without going under the knife?

Another option is Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which can bypass the need for clear fallopian tubes
