Default met question please help

I started met back in march and I have had a period every month since april...my periods were coming every 28-32 days . Well I have not had a period since June. I had one day of really dark spotting and that is it.
I don't think that I am pregnant......I did move my dose from 500mgs 4 X's a day to 2 pills in the am. I have been having a queasy stomache after I take them.
Any suggestions
thanks

My periods ranged from 29 to 60+ days my first 18 months on met, until I got my diet straighhtened out. When I started following the IR diet it was like a new drug and my hormones finally took a drop. When we eat and don't control insulin it can counter act the drug.

I would say your body is probably responding to the lower dosage you're on now. So if you aren't already, I suggest moderating your carbs and exercising regularly..it helps our bodies use insulin better and we use the meds better as a result.

Good luck!
