Hi Tera and Shinta,
Metformin does not work as progestins, that you take it for 10 days and you get a period thereafter.
Am I right that you have been applying progesterone cream for 2 1/2 months? I wonder who has suggested that regimen to you, because progesterone should be applied for 10-14 days each month and after stopping it you get a period. So no wonder that you had no period for such a long time. Progesterone apllied continuously act like a contraceptive.
For your info
Sam
