Okay so I have a question for those of you who have taken Metformin for more than 1-2 months.
I've been diagnosed recently with PCOS, but I've had PCOS for probably about 12 years. Before taking Metformin my cycles were anywhere from 31-90+ days. It seemed as each month they were getting longer and longer.
My Dr. first had me taking 1000mg of Metformin and in that first month I had a 28 day cycle. It was crazy, literally the first time in my life that I had a 28 day cycle. He recently upped my dosage to 1700mg a day and this month I've had a 21 day cycle.
I know that it will probably take awhile for my cycle lengths to level out, but I was wondering if they will ever be a somewhat consistent length? I would much rather have a 21 day cycle than a 45 or 90 day cycle, but at the same time I don't want the "neverending" period.
Any input is appreciated!! :)

Im curious about this as well. Im on CD18 and this is my first cylce on Metformin. I started experiencing brown discharge (unusual for me except right before I start my period), and Im curious if it is a side effect, or if Im in for a really short cycle.
