Hi Ladies I just have as question about metformin whats the side effects some of you may have had? I start to take metformin today so maybe this will bring on my period. I had a natural m.c in nov 2008 and no AF as of yet.

However the tremors are still there as well as extreme sweating, and muscle tightness. (I have been on this dose for approximately 2 weeks.

Hm, so you are diagnosed as PCOS or they just started the metformin for the reason of the adrenal gland issue? I'm trying to understand. LOL I know things that affect any part of our hormonal system will result in some mood changes. Are you taking the metformin as they intended? Have they also considered clomid?

All of your advice is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I took it upon myself to stop taking Metformin. My side effects were increasingly getting worse, I even started losing hair. I decided to listen to my body. We have a meeting with our re on June 2nd. Maybe they can put me on something else. I was still only taking one pill I can't imagine what my body would have done if I had worked up to taking 4 a day. It was very scary. Again, thanks for all the input!!!

I am 30 and I also have PCOS and endometriosis. I do NOT ovulate at all. I have like one period a year on my own. I've been on the metformin for about a year (give or take) now and the fertility doctor put me on clomid at 50 mg for 5 days and then my husband had to give me a shot of Ovidrel. The result was two mature follicles ready to go. I had my first IUI on Monday and now I am on day 4 of the two week wait.

Hi, for me I had bad diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, migraines and loss of appetite but the good news is it only lasted a few days and now 9 months later I have no side effects. If you are worried about the side effects ask for the extended release it is gentile on your stomach. Make sure you take it at night with dinner (if not at night with your biggest meal). I had some insomnia when i took it in the AM but when I switched to night time it went away.

NO side-effects from Metformin - Lucky you!

Your welcome! I take my Met all at once with my evening meal. I sometimes notice some days by the afternoon I get jittery and have to eat or drink something. I used to have headaches all the time, and strangely, I don't get them like I used to since on the Met. I did get one right after I started taking it along with an upset stomach. It only lasted a day. Then I had it again when I started the 3 pills, which also only lasted a day.
