Hello.

I need a little help if possible??

I got diagnosed with PCOS last october and got started on metformin i started on 500mcg and gradually built it up to 2000mcg altho i cant stomach 2000 so generally take 1500mcg.
My periods were all the place anyway between 45-72 days!!!
It tool 3 months for met to start to work.
Jan cycle was 44 days long,
Feb cycle 35 days,
March cycle was 28 days...not had a 28 day cycle ever!! Soo pleased my cycles are regulating :) .............................
anyhow this months period is currently day 38????
Can i take this as being a late period, or is it common to have cycles like this while on metformin??

Thanks ladies :)

I thought if my cycle was going to follow on from last months (28 days) AF should have came on 11th April ...however on the 12th i noticed a lot of EWCM,....which iv heard you get when you ovulate??
My blood results in october showed i wasnt ovulating ( lh-fsh levels)
but because my periods are getting more regular was wondering if i have ovulated..but that would have been a day after my 28 day cycle was due.
Im just confused.

I had a negative test a couple of days before positive test with ds (on metformin). I know it's hell.

Not until the met kicked in. I tested at day 28 and negative. Held out another week and it was positive.

shellmc · 21/04/2012 20:34

Okay. So how far apart were your periods hun if you dont mind me asking?? Were they bang on each month once met kicked in??
