Default Doing well on MetforminXR, but.....

I still have not gotten AF! It has been two months now since I started taking it and I feel better and have lost 15lbs, but where is AF? Should I ask my endo to adjust my dosage?

Sometimes it depends on the Woman.. I take 1000mg a day of Metformin and I still have to take Provera cause Met hasn't kicked in yet to start mine. Maybe ask for Provera.

Namaste,
Meg

I was on Met(1500mg) for about a month before I got my period.
Guera - how long did you have to wait before they would give something to start?

Now it wont stop - I have been bleeding for almost 4 weeks.

Before I was on 1500, and nothing. No AF.

So, I asked for 2000 and within days AF showed up.

So, I think you could definately ask about upping the dosage of Met.
