Hi,
I just started 1500mgs of metformin after 3 months on 500mgs
How long did it take for cysters who have been on met for AF to get regularized?
i am on CD45 and no sign of AF yet...
i am so depressed about this, please tell me i can wait for some more time before resorting to provera.
thanks for hearing me out

I started Met on day 20 of my cycle. I had a progesterone test done on day 21 (just to see if I might have ovulated on my own) and the number was extremely low. It certainly looked like I was headed toward another long cycle (my last one was 70 days long and only ended after provera). I started Met at 500 mg for about 5 days, then moved up to 1000 mg for 5 days, give or take. My doctor said to work up, about a week at a time, but I had minimal side effects, so I did it a little quicker. Exactly 14 days after I moved to 1500 mg af showed up. My whole cycle length was 42 days. It could be coincidence (prior to the 70 day cycle, I had long cycles, but still always got af after about 40-45 days). Still, I have never been so excited to see her show. I would give it a little time at 1500mg before doing anything else. I asked the same question on here last week, decided to wait and af showed up two days later. good Luck!

I got AF 2 weeks after I got on my current dosage of met. Took a month or 2 before it got regulated and has been ever since then. Also, low carbing seems to help me out too.

I was afraid that I'd never get AF with Met either. I must have been lucky because I got it the first time around. Sometimes it takes time though, in the end it'll be worth it! Hang in there.

I was on 1500 mg and it still took me 10-11 weeks to get my first period. They continued to be irregular untilI started eating to control my insulin and now I'm every 29-32 days like clockwork.

If you check out the FAQ thread: (http://www.soulcysters.net/showthread.php?t=48708)..it answers this directly too. A Dr indicates in one of the studies: For women with PCOS treated with metformin alone, about 25% begin regular menses within 3 months,and about 50% to 95% begin regular menses within 6 months. In my practice, about 50% of women begin having regular ovulatory menses after 6 months of treatment.

Hope it helps!
