My Mood: Points: 5,147.89 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 5,147.89 | For those on met, how long until AF returned? Hi ladies,
I am newly diagnosed with PCOS. I just started met last week, I started on 1000mg last week and this week I am going up to 2000mg. I'm just wondering how long it normally takes for AF to return? It's been about a month since I last had AF (provera induced). I know everyone is different, but I'm just anxious for her to return (never thought I would say that, LOL) and am wondering what the average is.
Thanks!

When not on met I am totally anovulatory. I stopped bcp, started met and got AF 40 days later. Been getting AF around every 38-40 or so days ever since.
