Default How long after you first started Met...

...did AF show?

I only ask because I started 500mg of Met XR a week ago, and right now I'm having some weird cramping. It doesn't feel like my typical AF cramping, but then again with my body who knows what's typical???

AF actually showed for me about 35 days after I started taking the Met. However, I had a lot of stomach/gas cramps when I started the Met.

Hmmm...for a little while there I thought it might have been ovulation pains, because they localized to my left side and I noticed a small amount of EWCM on Saturday (and I NEVER get CM!). But my temp went down today, so I guess not. Just another fluke!

It took me about 3 months after starting 1500 mg of Met to get AF. But I was not having any periods ever without the Met so I might be an extreme case.

I started met and actos in the middle of April and AF came about 2 weeks later. I've had normal cycles since starting the combo and love it! I'm glad it's working well for others too!

Well, I have been on Met for about 7 1/2 months and still no af. I suppose I am just one of the lucky ones...not! I started provera last week so we will see what happens. Good luck to you. It's funny isn't it, I think we are the only women in the world begging for af.
