When I started taking the medicine I was having heavy cycles regularly. But for the past two months all I had was about a half a day of spotting. Has anyone else had that happen while on Metformin?

I'm gonna go be a bookworm now. (Reading Pride and Prejudice for the 4th time...)

Thanks for the help

A lot of us I think went on the metformin because they had no real cycle at all and our doctors were hoping this drug would help change that. I know personally I didn't get Af before the metformin and I also didn't get AF after I started the metformin. Since I came off BCP in June I have yet to get AF on my own with or work out Metformin.

How long has it been since you got a normal cycle (more than just spotting)? How long have you been taking the metformin?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Okay so if I retain what I read I would of seen that you said for the past 2 months. I would say something to you doctor if this cycle isn't different. I know it isn't healthy to go more than 3 months without completely cleaning yourself out and if you are only spotting for a day each month you may have a lot built up inside that you need to get cleaned out.

My cycles were actually lighter before metformin. AF this cycle was so heavy that it kind of scared me a bit. I am wondering how AF is going to be on my next cycle.

I only had a "normal" cycle about every eight months before I started metformin. Then I had about 4 that were really heavy and these last two have just been spotting. I scheduled an apt. with my Dr. so hopefully she can tell me what is going on.

Let us know what the doctor says. Not only do you love books but it seems like you love the classics!
