Q: Metformin And Menstrual Delays

asked by: Assena on September 7th, 2006

Experienced User

Has anyone been on this medication and did it delay your cycle the first month you took it?

My cycles do not fall in the regular category, but do not usualy run over 39 days... I was wondering if since my Dr. Started me on metformin a few weeks ago if that could effect my cycle.

My doctor put me on it to regulate my cycle because I rarely have periods due to my pcos. In some instances, metformin is used to help women ovulate and become pregnant.

Today I just found out I have pcos and my doctor recomended metformin and to regulate my period. And I dont know if I should take it or not. But I think I will try it. I hope you find out why your cycle is delayed.

This is my first cycle on it so I don't know for sure. My doctor said it should shorten my cycle.

Yes, I had that happen to me. I was three or four days late. It evened out by the next cycle. By the way, I had two miscarriages without metformin, and the third pregnancy gave us a wonderful, healthy, full-term baby girl.
