I started my Metformin March 14th... i took 500MG 1x a day for a week then the last 2 weeks or so i have been on 500MG 2x a day and just tonight i started 500MG 3x a day which is what my MAX doseage is.. i have no idea if i have lost any weight because i havent been sticking to a strict diet.. i have just been completely drinking water and hardly any soda at all. My cycles have regulated a bit.. i went from a 38 day cycle to a 22 day cycle last month when i started Metformin... I ovulated on CD 9!! and this month looks like i will O on CD 9 again. So i'm seeing some good results this far.

I just started met today! 500mg 2x a day. I've been burpy all day but nothing major. I already eat a low carb/whole grain diet. Does met normally help with weightloss or are the success stories here one-offs? I've lost a bunch of weight in the past year and a half, but seem to be stuck with the last 15-20 lbs. Would met help with that?

I started on Met in Sept 2007 with 2x500 mg per day right from the start. Before I was on Met I had one period in 7 months and am pretty sure that I was not ovulating since I was taking BBTs (which were totally wacky!). I got a period a month after I started Met, and temps showed that I was ovulating within that first cycle. I finally could see a pattern in my temps which was SOOOOO exciting. Up until then me and DH had no idea when the "right" time was to TTC. So I guess for me, Met worked pretty much immediately. I ended up conceiving on my 4th cycle which we were super excited about. Unfortunately, I miscarried at 10 weeks. But i am still happy to know that I CAN get pregnant.

I started Metformin in Feb. The first month we were on a break cycle but I monitored and ovulated on my own! I am not overweight but being on Clomid I gained 10 lbs and I have lost 9 so far. I am not eating a lot of carbs because that does irritate my tummy!
