I was recently (in the last month) diagnosed with PCOS and was put on 1000 milligrams of Metformin per day and I have had this strange pain in my front lower abdomen. The pain will only last a few min but it is extremely painful. It also switches sides. Sometimes on the left other times on the right. I have an appointment to see my OBGYN next week but I wasn't sure if this was something that needed immediate attention.
