Answer 1

I have pcos and am currently taking 2000 mg metformin daily. For the first 4 weeks I literally thought I could not go on! It was the worst ever! I had and still do have diarrhea. I also had severe stomach pains and I was also dizzy. I still to this day get dizzy quite often. But as for the severe stomach pain it is totally gone and now I only have diarrhea first thing of the morning when I get up. Keep taking it if you can, it will get better! Best Wishes on ttc!

Answer 2

It's all normal side affects of the Metformin.  Just make sure you remember to eat before taking it or you'll REALLY regret it, trust me!
