I have been on 1000mg per day of Met , since June. I am doing fine with
that dosage. My cycles are regular now (were 70+ days before met), I
have lost 30lbs, and I feel 90% better! My doctor wants me to be on Met
for 6 months - to help "regulate me" and then we will start to try to
conceive - I will let you know what happens!! :-)
I think the dosage is a personal thing - and what each of us responds to
- is different. I have been low-moderate carbing and walking 3-4 times
ever week. I think this helps too. :-)
