Yeah yeah, I know.. i'm terrible at taking my medication. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
If I forget to take my met a few days a month or go down to one pill for a couple of days my period goes awol.
I went to london a few weeks back, well after the date I should have ovulated (had the signs and the pains after all) and being a ditz I forgot to take my met with me. I remembered on the sodding train half way down!
Anyway, as a result I had 4 days without any metformin but figured it wouldn't be too much a big deal as i'd already ovulatated. Well, af was due last week.
Has anyone else experienced this? Seems I have to take two pills every day like clockwork or my af just doesn't show. Even if I forget a couple of pills over a month, it's wierd. Is it to do with the concentration of the drug in my blood stream?
Anyone also got any suggestions for how to remember to take the sodding things?

I've been on some sort of med everyday as long as I can remember, so the morning one is easy for me, but I always seem to forget my dinner time one. I'm also currently on BCP, so I haven't noticed any issues w/ AF.
That was a lot of help, huh?
