Question:

I was wondering if anyone else is like me?  I get my period on my own every month, but it’s on a pattern.  one month it’s around 21 days, the next it’s around 40, and it’s been that way for a long time.  

I used to get periods every 32 to 54 days (a few times it was shorter, once I skipped 3 full months)… that was ages 12-20… Then when I got married I started taking the bcp, had bad side effects and after getting off the pill I only had a period about once or twice a year (usually induced by Provera, rarely on my own)…. until this period after the 2 mths on Metformin, I finally had a period on my own…  We’ll see if this continues in the months to come….

I also don’t have any ovarian cysts, but have all of the other symptoms of PCO (which is good because that’s what I’ve been diagnosed with )  Thanks for listening… Yolonda

What is your dosage?  I’m on 500mg 3 times a day.

 I am on 2000 mg a day (I take 2 in the morning, and 2 in the evening)… I was going to do the 1500mg a day like you, but the doc said I could take 2000mg (I had thought to just take 1500mg, since I read it was the common dosage for treating PCOS)… but I kept forgetting to take them, so 2 twice daily is easier to remember for me….

After a little over 2 months on Metformin I finally just got my period… (Not that I enjoy cramps, bloating, etc.) It’s definately a miracle since before the Metformin I had only been getting a period once or twice a year at most… usually with Provera, rarely on my own.  That gives me lots of hope for the Metformin to really make a difference with my PCOS.  WOW, to think I actually ovulated on my own this month… thank God I didn’t get pg (not that pg is a bad thing, I know many of you have been waiting a long time… but I have a 9 mth old clomid baby and I’m not ready to be pg again so soon… I am always hoping and praying that all you who want to conceive will do so very soon). Anyways… I never would have believed that I would ever be happy to get my period (I’m sure the exxcitement will be short lived, once I start bloating and cramping) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< God Bless You  <*(((< Carrie   ;o)~    from Oklahoma Carrie’s Home Page (PCOS) http://hometown.aol.com/cbraly2000/home.index.html For info. on treatment of PCOS with the drug Metformin go to this site… http://www.ivf.com/pcostreat.html

This is certainly encouraging news!!!  I started Metformin Oct. 8.  My RE started me on Provera to get AF 3 weeks later.  I’m supposed to go for prog test 12/7.  I hope I have good news to report too!  What is your dosage?  I’m on 500mg 3 times a day. Nicole —
