Hello,
I was just wondering - I am supposed to gradually go from 500 mg to 2,000 mg. How often should I go up? I went up to 1,000 mg last Friday. Should I do it weekly or sooner than that? I haven't encountered any problems with it yet. *knock on wood*
Thanks!
Amber
I would just go up when you think you are ready....If you r not having any side effects that is great...stay on one dose for 4-5 days if it isn't bothering you, then move up... Some women it takes a bit to get used to...

Well, the only thing that I've noticed is increased tiredness, but I've heard that if you take B-12 it helps. I already have lower B-12 levels anyway. The only other thing I've noticed is that my appetite is very much like a roller coaster. Sometimes, I'm not hungry and other times I'm really hungry like I usually am, lol. At any rate, I haven't had many GI problems and in fact, no diarrhea (sorry for the details!) at all like a lot of women complain about. Do you think today would be too soon to go on up to the 1,500 mg? I've already taken 4 doses of the 1,000 mg.
It depends on how you feel on 1000mg. My doc told me to go up every 7-10 days, but it depends on how severe your s/e are. Just listen to your body and see. I have to get the B-12 also because I get really tired as well.

Congrats!! That's so awesome, and such a great success story. How long were you on Met for, just out of curiosity?
I was only on it for a few months. I think I was kind of on the less severe end of the PCOS spectrum, because I did ovulate a few times a year without medication, and my weight never hit 200lbs, so it didn't take much Met. But still, I made no efforts to BD at the right times or anything and it still happened fast... surely you ladies that chart and know whats going on will have similar luch!

That is AWESOME Jem!!! Congrats!!!!!! Unfortunatley, I am only able to sneak on her at work so I often forget stuff.
Would you e-mail or reply with what your situation is. IR? PCOS? What you were on to become Pregnant? Thanks so much! Have a great day everyone!!
Like I just replied to Chicago Girl, I had a few periods a year, but no clue when they were coming. I was (still am) obese but not by much (size 14/16.) My reasoning is that since I only took Met for a few months (and missed days, too) and got PG with almost no effort, it basically must have put my ovaries right there with slender women who have no problems at all conceiving.
I did use some herbal methods, too (vitex & donq quai,) and cut white carbs.
I am going to come back on here in a day or so and I hope to read some more good experiences! Weight loss, periods, BFPs, etc!

Im more than willing to pay out of pocket if it isnt too costly...

I have been on actos plus metformin for about a year, and I have noticed HUGE improvements in my body function! I even have periods without my BC pills! (Yasmin)

You guys give me so much hope!!!! I'm going to the doctor on the 25th to start me on Met and I've been scared!! But I'm thrilled about it now (just not about the being ill part at the beginning)!! You all give me courage and I'm so grateful for that!!

Colorado ~ I'm also upped to 1500mg this week. Fingers crossed. I don't think I've O'd so far this cycle as my temps haven't jumped. And I'm already on CD 22. There's always next month.
