I have been on Met almost 3 months, and have not experienced much change. I plan to stick it out for the long run, as I would truly like to conceive in the next few years.

I have the worst carb cravings, and was really battling with them so I went on Fat Blaster ( which my doc said was ok short term) So far they have helped with the cravings and my diet is better controlled. I still have a dramatically fluctuating weight - it goes up and down 3-5kgs a week- but never goes over a certain point. My partner has been very supportive, and has joined the same diet plan to make it a little easier.

At present I am only on 1000 mg per day of met, and curious how long I should stick at the dosage and see if it works? I have noticed that alot of women on here are on much higher doses. I have not had menses on my own since I started the met, and before that I had 2 in a row and none prior for almost a year. I don't have too much trouble with side effects, in fact I have found the opposite to most women. The met actually helps as I always felt constipated before.

Thanks for the helpful info
