Re: How long do you give Met a chance?

Hi Kathy,

I was on the 500mg 3x day, and had periods. They were not regular (one was 32 days and the other 57). My OB increased my dosage to 850mg 3x day, and have had no side effects. However I only had a few at the beginning. I have not been on it for an entire month yet, so I don't know how it will help me with regulaing my cycle. Good luck to you!
