Answer 1

For people with insulin resistance, Metformin has been shown to regulate menstrual cycles.  It worked for me.  However, metformin never caused any bleeding for me; however, it does cause stomach upset at first--eventually this will pass.  Two months after taking Metformin, I was pregnant; however there's no way for me to know if it was the drug or something else.  You should take a pregnancy test, but I wouldn't give up on the Metformin just yet.  It really takes awhile for your system to get used to it.  It will be well worth it though--i had more energy; craved sweets less; lost weight; and achieved pregnancy.  Just hold on girl.

Answer 2

im not sure i understand this question, because metformin is for diabetes, dont think it has anything to do with regulating your cycle.  are you sure thats the correct medicine?  I've been a diabetic 20 years so Im very familar with metformin

Answer 3
