Default How long before Met starts to work?

I have been on 1000 mg twice a day for 3 months now. I told the doc yesterday I didn't feel any better yet, and he said he wasn't suprised but didn't elaborate. How long before you notice a difference in the way you feel? I do know it is working some because for the first time ever, since I started the met, AF has been like clock-work!

Well, there you go. It has started working already.
You have to keep in mind your body did not get all messed up within three months, so it will take a little longer to regulate it again too. It happened slowly for me as well, so have patience.

Since you're asking exactly how long it took, well, let's see. I had been skipping af and then missing af entirely for almost a year when I started on Met. Af came back within a month, cycles were fairly regular. I lost some weight (was low-carbing too). It was eight months (I believe) until I started ovulating again too. Somewhere in between, more towards the beginning I started actually 'feeling better' too. I went from 'hormonal monster' back to 'normal', and it was a good feeling.

I think Met is just the greatest thing ever.

It cleared my brain fog, brought back af, helped me lose weight, made me o' again, and helped me get pregnant. My first Metformin miracle is now 3 years old, my second (surprise one) arrived December11!

For me, the first time I went on met it worked for me within a month. And I got pregnant right away. This time, it worked for me right away, but then the dr. upped my dosage to 1500 mgs and my cycle went away completely. So it seems to work for me right at the beginning, but doesn't continue to work for me.
