Default Metformin update!

I have now been on it 6 days and AF is on her way! I have brown/red spotting. I am so thrilled that it seems like it is going to work for me again! I am not ttc right now (not until June of 2005) but if this really works I will be so happy to be able to have regular cycles and lose weight like a normal person. I am already losing around the middle. I have nice legs and arms but my stomach is/was huge, I look like I'm pregnant! It is already starting to slim down. I hope it works for everyone else as well as it has for me.

Oh wait I should post a symptoms update as well. On Sunday I had diarrhea all day. I felt like crap! Monday i still felt gassy and bloated but no diarrhea. Today I just feel gassy and crampy (but that could be due to AF trying to start).

ShawnaMarie: What mg of metformin are you taking? Based on your post, did you NOT have regular cycles off metformin?

I am on 1500 mg a day. No I don't have regular cycles off the Metformin. Off Metformin I will have 3-4 cycles a year. I haven't had one since March. AF started full flow yesterday so yay!
