Re: Experience with metformin regulating periods

I am just starting my 4th month on met. I have been taking 1500 mg since the beginning. I had a period 32 days after starting my first cycle with met. The next was 34 days. The last was 38 days. I am somewhat concerned that the cycle is lengthening and wondering if I need to up the dose. I'm also interested to hear the experience of others.

BTW I am charting my temps and cervical mucus and checking my cervix. I ovulated all three cycles.
