Questions on stopping Metformin - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

Ok, here's something that no one here has spoken about. I am trying alternative methods to TTC. I have PCOS and have been taking metf for about 2 1/2 yrs or so. I have TTC on this alone. I have had no success. The metf regulated my visits from AF. but no pregnancy. So I went to Tecate & got a fertility massage and drank some herbal tea that tasted the worst. I stopped taking metf about 2wks ago when I started the herbal treatment. I haven't had a complete cycle yet since then. AF is now 1 1/2 wks late. Has anyone out there been on metf and stopped taking it? If so how long did it take for your AF to stop visiting regularly?

i'm really bad about taking mine. sometimes i do sometimes for a month i won't. i can always tell i don't have an af that month.

Thanks for the reply. But question did you ever stop like a week before AF was due and then missed it. I'm telling you I can't handle the wait thing it drives me crazy. Right now I'm crying and I think it's all the stress. I just want AF to come if I'm not so I can at least be relieved from this guessing. I started back on the pills again. We will see I can't handle anymore disappointments and so I still haven't take a PT which it's too soon anyway. Does anyone know if metf can cause a miscarriage?

i have stoped a week before af and didn't get it. but i never know when to expect it only time i was regular was when i was on bc pill. one time i took met. for three months not missing or quiting i was regular when-in a couple of days. but got af on my own this month just late. so i started it again on day 1 of cycle.
