Hello, I was on Metformin for about 6 months.  I go my period or whatever it
was about 2 months after starting Metformin.  I bled for about 2 months, finally I
finished and then I started again about a week later.  I was on that for about
another month and then it stopped.  The day after it stopped I started getting
Period cramps and my breast were really sore.  It felt like I was going to get
my period again, but I was like "what's up with this, I just finished one".
Sure enough I started again.  I think that It was a real period though.
My doctor and I decided to stop Metformin and swith to Birth Control pills once
I stop my period.  Not because it doesn't work but because I am 23 and I will be
running out of insurance soon and it will be cheaper for me.  Also, I don't want
to have to take 3pills a day.  It is really hard for me.  I will probably get back
on Metformin when I get older.   I still have a lot of hair and I WANT IT TO GO AWAY!!
I hate it so much.  I was homecoming princess in highschool and now I am some hairy
chick.  Oh well, I still think that we are beautiful people underneith this stupid
disease or whatever it is.
