Yep ladies in 2003 when we were ttc i was given met and it did nothing to me, no side effects nothing barely lowered my hormones and did not get me periods and that was on 1500mg. anywho we conceived that same year and got off the met, after baby tried ot get on bc but that was causing me crazy headaches, feeling sick just did not go well...... so i haven't been on anything for about 18 months, in that time i have gotten 4 periods on my own and kind of feel that my hormones have definetly changed some. had my annual tuesday and asked my doc to put me on met again just to see what it does this time around and so i started today and i'm already sick! i am doing 2 850mg pills a day (1700mg) so hopefully it will do something hopefully regulate my periods and help me loose weight! anywho just wanted to share i will keep u all posted! Thx for reading!

Did your Dr mention at all of you could dose up slowly? S/E can be minimized by dosing up slowly over a long er period to help your system adjust. My Dr just started me on 1500 mg right off the bat and it stunk.

And remember..side effects are not an indictaion of how well the drug is working. Side effects can be worsened by a bad diet and a rotten diet actually counter-acts the drugs, so it's not a real indicator of if it is helping your hormones. Only labs and symptoms (AF, O etc) can tell you that.

Much success with the met!

OK you asked for it..... YOUR CRAZY...
After awhile you will not be excited about the side effects of Met... I got to the stage where food was put in front of me and before I could even get it to my mouth I wanted to throw up. I spent the best part of a year bonding with the toilet before the dr's realised that it was the 2000mg of Met that was making me sick and have constant diarrhea. Oh I had a wonderful weight loss, but it is not a healthy way to lose the weight.
