I am also on metformin. When I took it three times a day I was vomiting
with it. Now, I am starting on it again from the begining. The doctor said
I need to get my body used to it. 1 a day for a couple months. Then 2 a
day for a couple months. Then up to 3 a day again.
Anyway, I have been on it almost 6 months and I still have no period.
My doctor thinks my symptoms went really long with out being noticed and
that might be why. But, still no period. But, I dohave some HORRIABLE
cramps!!!!
