my dr put me on 1500mg of Met right off the bat.(jerk)lol He forgot to tell me how bad the side effects would be..lol...I was under the impression that 1500mg is the lowest dose too work on our pcos symptoms.Maybe that's why AF has'nt come calling.Once you're up to 1500mg maybe she'll come knocking..I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya
Good luck with 1500mg. I was on 1500mg before I had my ectopic pg. I think its what helped me get pg. I used to get AF normally so I didn't need help in that area, just with the IR. I just started back on the Met so I have to start out at 500mg. I HATE the s/e! Its only my 3 day on it and I am already in the bathroom 4 times a day. SORRY TMI!
Good luck to you!

My RE had told me to stick with 1000 mg because I'd had such horrible gas pains when I started. But I *accidentally* upped myself to 1500 mg last week, when I forgot that I'd already taken my second dose, and took a third. You know what? NO SIDE EFFECTS! So now I take a pill with each meal, and I hope 1500 mg will do more for me than 1000 mg did.
Good luck, and just be prepared for a possible resurgence of the s/e!

(Kim, my Doc did the same thing...put me on 1500 right away. Now that I know better, I wish I could have sent him a poop-o-gram to say "a sarcastic thanks". LOL!)

I started yesterday at 1500 mg and added Yasmin, I had been at 1000 mg since April and so far so good. I have a slight headache. I think that is the Yasmin. Good luck.

Well, its been over 5 years since I was DX & I have been taking what I think is the max 2550 mg/day & still no AF & still no help w/ IR or weight loss. I truly do hope it helps aid you with this wonderful pcos we deal with. My doc also added avandia 4mg & still have nothing. I have started the process to have RNY wls...Just saying a prayer for myself.
Upping to 1500mg Met 
SORRY TMI!
