My Gp just prescribed Metofomin for me. I don't know what dosage yet but I know I have to take it 2x a day. She said that because of the s/e I should start by just taking it 1x a day or 1x every other day. What s/e should I expect? What does it actually help with? Also, I'm on CD #55. I've heard somewhere that this might help me Ovulate on my own. Is this true? Unfortunatley I wasn't able to get a lot of info because I'm in the middle of a big mess between my GP and my gyno.

first let me say that's too bad you couldn't get much more info out of your GP.

I have been on Metformin for 4 weeks today. I take it 2x a day and my total mg are 1700mg. anyway as side effects to be honest i have not experienced any...i would recommend that you take your pills with Milk, or right after you eat a good meal...(be it lunch or dinner) but no after you have eaten a heavy meal like pasta, or a lot of bread...or pretty much a alot of carbs.

Try to limit your carbs....to be honest i haven't really done that because i never ate pasta, or a lot of breda or cookies or any of that stuff.....but instead of eating white bread i eat whole wheat bread now....anyway i hope this helps.

the only side effect i know of is diarrhea...and it only happened once to me.
