Default 500mg not enough for me

Wellps, I don't think 500mg of met is going to cut it for me.
It's been almost a month, and while I did get a positive OPK, there has been no surge in my temperature.. no sign of AF at all.

My doctor told me to bump up my dosage to 1000mg if I don't ovulate on 500mg. Any ladies out there have any luck with 1000mg?

I haven't had any side effects on 500mg. Should I prepare myself for emergency toilet situations on 1000mg?

I had no luck with 500mg either. I feel like things have been much better since my dosage was upped to 1500mg.

I didn't have any luck with 500 so now I am up to 2000 a day still hadn't had any luck but I really hadn't been trying either. But the good thing I can say is that I have lost a lot of weight 25 pounds at my last weight

I know everyone is diff. but 1500 or 2000 seems to be the magic #.... I had no luck what so ever until I went to 1500.. now at 2000 I have had more 28-30 day cycles. So I am staying at 2000, and yes get some immodium...LOL GL !

everyones body is different so 500mg might work for one person but not another. the most effective dosage i've read about is 1500mg. especially for fluffy cysters like myself. I've read a post on here that a women concieved after being on 500mg for a month. but the majority of people who are having success are at higher doses. its really something you should talk to your doc about and see if they would agree that it needs to be increased. good luck to you!

Hi,
what you think about that.
I started take marvelon & met (1000mg/day) on august09.
On first month my weight lost 17,6punds, T
hen it stopped to take marvelon and there it is. My weight just standing on this same. Nothing happened.
So, do ya think that marvelon and met get my weight down or should i take met more? maybe 1500mg/day?

And how about that, here in Finland is not supposed to take met if you´r pregnant. Is that true?
Seems that no-one here doesn´t no anything of that pco+marvelon+metform. Duh =(
