metformin reduce androgen levels too

[needtheanswers]

Hi anyone who has been on metformin-how long does it take before androgen levels begin to decrease? A month? or more than a month? Thanks!

Hi there

I have been on metformin for a long time but I'm sorry I don't know what test it is that shows androgen levels. Do you know the name of the test and I can see if I've had that one before?

hi i think just measuring testosterone or dhea

Oh i don't think I ever had that kind of test before, do you mind if I ask why they are testing you for androgen levels? Just curious, I just found out about my PCOS a few month ago....
