I was on 1500 mg and it still took me 10-11 weeks to get my first period. They continued to be irregular untilI started eating to control my insulin and now I'm every 29-32 days like clockwork.

If you check out the FAQ thread: (http://www.soulcysters.net/showthread.php?t=48708)..it answers this directly too. A Dr indicates in one of the studies: For women with PCOS treated with metformin alone, about 25% begin regular menses within 3 months,and about 50% to 95% begin regular menses within 6 months. In my practice, about 50% of women begin having regular ovulatory menses after 6 months of treatment.

Hope it helps!
