Metformin Club :)

[wannabemummyb]

Hey all. I am on metformin 1500mg per day, which is 500mg thrice daily. I have been on it since feb 2011. The first week on met was awful, had to take a week off work because i could not keep anything down. If i eat too many carbs or sugars i still get poorly!

Since feb my cycle regulated to every 35 days, considering my cycles before were 90 days plus, this was so exciting for me. This month i am on cd 75, with a bfn at cd 40. Had a small amount of spotting but nothing to write home about! My bbs are huge atm though, so think i will come on soon, very much doubt im pg because of the bfn but there is always a glimmer of hope in the back of my mind.

The met has done brilliant things for my insulin resistence, blood sugars are all within the normal range. I have also lost nearly 3 stone!

Well thats my met story

Great job!! I'm at close to 4 stone lost myself, but I'm still behind you in regulating my blood sugars. Hopefully my next blood tests will show that that has dropped to normal now as well.

Are you planning on testing again at some point?

But thanks huni

so i have a question for anyone who has been on met for a while and had it regulate their periods. I have only been on met since oct, and immediately i noticed a HUGE change. i got 3 periods exactly 28 days apart. (unheard of for me, my more detailed story is above). so following this pattern i should have had a visit from AF on sunday, and so far nothing... there is no way i am Prego this month, my and DH took a month off, as we are seeing a fertility Dr tomorrow. has anyone else had this problem, where Met seemed to be working (regulating periods) and then suddenly stopped??

Potentially yes - despite my abive post saying af finally got me, i had a bit of spotting then nothing!

I also had three cycles of 35 days then this weird cycle 80 days +
