Hi i was wondering if any of you have experienced this and might have any advice. I started taking metform ER 4 500mg each day. Well I started spotting 2 weeks after I should have recieved AF, then about a week later I got AF for about a week, now this week I am spotting and had alot of lower back ache and also pain on my left side. I took some of that magnesium drink to help thinking it could be constipation. It helped with the lower back ache. But I am still spotting and now my ache on the left side has moved to the front on my left side. Any help would be appreciated it.

I have been experiencing the same thing. I started gluc. XR (1500 mg/day) in December. Had a m/c in Feb. and D&E in early March. Up until that time everything was normal. I have had the same symptoms as you in April and now May. Told my endo. today and will see my OB/GYN on Monday. My endo. said the gluc. is really starting to work. She didn't like the idea of spotting for 15 days, but said the cramping and severe headaches at the beginning of my period is actually a good sign! GO FIGURE!!! The gluc. is actually helping me ovulate with clomic now....the first time in a year. I suppose that is what the cramping is now.

I started back on gluc (regular, not xr) about 2 weeks ago or so and I started spotting yesterday with some back pain. No stomach pains that would make me think i was ovulating or constipated but I have noticed that (TMI coming up) my bowel movements aren't as regular as they used to be. But i've changed my diet and lost 5lbs now so that might be why since i'm doing a lower carb diet but still confused about the AF.

I haven't had AF in over 9 months and my RE was going to put me on provera to induce it. But maybe now I don't need it.
