I was diagnosed with pcos and was prescribed metformin which I started taking on June 24th. I had not had a period since April, and it was very irregular before that since I started it. By July 5th I started spotting and my period lasted roughly 12 days. Then, on July 22nd I got another one, same thing. Is this normal???

pcos and metformin

Metformin is very common for pcos. I personally love being on it. It makes my period regular, reduces facial acne and all of the other nasty side effects of pcos. Metformin can be tough on your stomach though. I did get pregnant with my son on clomid and metformin almost three years ago. I really think metformin is a big part to helping with pcos.
