I posted a while back that Met regulated my cycle- hadn't gotten regular periods in years, now I do-

I o'd two days ago, we BD'd before and on that day, and now I'm in the 2WW. Guess I'll tell you if I am a REAL success then!

today I am 17 dpo, I am praying and hoping this is the month that I've been waiting for, but I am a little confuse because I never use to have reguler cycles until I started metfomin so I am wondering if I could be having and ireguler cycle. Anyone who got a reguler cycle with metformin dis continue getting a reguler cycle after being on it for a while? Iwould be testing on tomorrow morning please pray for me Hope we all get a BFP this month

I think the current "magic dose" these days is 2000 mg, but last time I was on 2850 mg. (and I'm very thin and never been tested for IR) For me the dosage hasn't been much of an issue... I just have to be on it 3-4 months no matter what and than I get pregnant.

Dear Trisain,

I am so excited hearing your trials and the succesfull outcomes. This gives me really hope. I am now 33, diagnosed with PCOs when I was 17 and put into BCP when I was 22 (I am using it 11 years now!). Since I am planning to have a family within the next 2 years, I would like to start preparing my body to get rid of the pill and regulate my cycles and my ovulation without it. I am also thin and never tested for IR, so this is the common we have. My PCO symptoms were acne and irregular periods (all ok and normal with the BCP). I would appreciate if you could give me some consultation on what you suggest to do from now on. Metformin seems a promising solution. Do you take it alone and/or with other stuff (vitamins, herbs, etc.) and how do you manage any symptoms you may had?
Thank you in advance.
I would appreciate your answer very much.

Sure Jem!!

I don't know if the Metformin alone is going to cause AF to come this cycle. I have had 5 days of HIGH on the fertility monitor and no other symptoms (sore nipples, etc.) so we shall see :o) I wasn't as good with low carbing it this cycle...darn pasta!! hahaha!!

I sent you a PM on here as I can't e-mail you. I try to maintain some semblance of anonymity on here for the sake of my kids and my e-mail would give away too much identifying info. If you have any other questions, please feel free to PM me!

Met helped me get pg with both my children, but I still had long cycles. I just started Vitex (which is supposed to be good when coming off the pill) and so far it seems to be helping shorted everything!

I have been on Met for coming on 5 months. I have not had a regular period in 16yrs, and I JUST got my 1st AF on my own and I am currently on CD 25. I am taking 2000mg of met and I have also lost 47lbs since June. I say get on met as soon as you can, It works... NOW, I just need to concieve!

I started takeing Metformin the begining of October.I was diagnosed when i was 19 ,and like some many other paople i was scared of the side effects.Well a month and a half later i am doing great.I feel awake and full of energy,i'm not hungery all the time, i stay full longer, and i have lost 15 lbs so far.This is all without much change to my diet.I try to aty away from the sugars as much as i can, also my docter has a web site explaining about high and low glycemic load.It gave a list of foods ,and i chose from that list and moddified my diet some.The last time i wieghed i was in shock that i had lost 10 more pounds.The first month i lost 5.Still have not had a period but i feel it trying to come on.I have cramped for a month and a half and this week have been nauseated off an on.So far so good.

Good luck to all of you out there.

All through high school and my first two years of college I was a size 3....then all of a sudden, I was gaining weight out of the blue...I put on close to 60 lbs in less than a year...and I know at one pt the total I had put on was more than that. I started met in August of 2007-a low dose of 500 mg 2x a day. After 3 weeks or so I got af, and I continue to lose weight. Not drastically but I have lost 15 lbs since being on met and I am continuing to lose. I haven't had af since the last one but I am hoping with the increased dosage that I start on Friday, I will be well on my way to getting pregnant, and fitting into my skinny jeans.
