Hey ladies!!!
I have PCOS and am on Metformin 1500mg. I have been on them for 5 and a half months now.
The side effect that I got was insane diarrhea. That was it. I had diarrhea for 3 months and was put on welbutrin to help me quit smoking and the diarrhea stopped, but I know it will return when I come off of the welbutrin in a week It is so worth it though if this is going to help.
As for it helping regulate my cycle, NOPE. Still long cycles but I THINK i may be ovulating now...not sure though. My FS put me on provera once before putting me on Metformin and hasnt put me on it since due to the fact that he wants to see if metformin will regulate me. I am going on Clomid at the end of the month and metformin is supposed to help the medication work better. FX. Good Luck
I'm only taking 500mg 1x a day right now.. I think my Dr wants me to get used to it and then go up. So far I'm doing ok! My stomach makes a bunch of noise at night but that's about it lol!
My Dr also told me she would put me on Chlomid when I want I think I'm going to wait a few cycles and use some OPKs to see if and when I am ovulating
That's awesome that you can get clomid when your ready for it...I was ready for it at my first appointment but had to do so many tests before he would let me have it.
Going up gradually with metformin is the best choice I would say...My FS put me on 1500 first shot and told me if I couldn't handle it to take 1 pill for a week then 2 for a week and then 3...I didn't care what awful symptoms it gave me I was going to stick it out at 1500 no matter what just hoping the meds would work faster!
