It really depends. Some people have changes right away, others it takes a while. It also depends on being on the right dose. I've been on it for about 8 months I think. Changes have been very gradual for me, but that's ok as long as they are still happening. | |

Another question, when you started Met, were you hungry like every 2 hours? Im finding that my stomach is growling every 2-3 hours!! i feel like i am eating more!!! which kinda scares me....

The first time i started Met i got pregnant by the end of that month. I did not get to find out if it helps with weight loss. This is the second time i will be on it to get pregnant and im hoping to find out if i can lose some weight before i do. | |

2 things, so you mean to tell me that some women can get pregnant with just the Metformin alone? Is this what my doctor was reffering to when he said Spontaneous ovulation? I was under the impression that any woman who has PCOS would need the Metformin as well as Clomid, well I guess that the case is different for everyone..
2. I find that with this medication Im never hungry, I have to force myself to eat and then I feel sick to my stomach... again, I guess every woman is different. | |

That's weird though that you are never hungry!! Is anyone else always hungry or am i just weirdo??

Met along doesn't help all women ovulate though. I am still waiting for that to happen. I have had AF since October, but have been told by others it could take up to six months.
Also, I am not always hungry, but do find that I am hungrier at different times than I used to be. I used to be able to go until lunch before wanting to eat, but now I have to have breakfast.
But we are all different. | |

I've been on Met since Jan. and I've lost 16 pounds. It makes me sick when I take it, I can't keep alot of my food on my stomach. I don't know if the weight loss came from the Met or the throwing up. I don't stay real hungry on the Met, but I do have to eat around lunch or my stomach is growling really bad. It is going to work different on people, I know some women that have taken it and got pregnant on it alone, and others had to do a Met/Clomid combination. Good Luck!
