metformin and spotting

I am also taking Metformin and took Clomid 150 and developed a 1 mature follicle. Had a trigger shot last night then intercourse. Today went on PCT test to see how the sperm swims inside and was told by my RE that the sperm is there but it is dead and that possible reason is the negative effect of Clomid :( My dh and I are very dissapointed but RE said that the problem should be bypassed by IUI tomorrow.. Did you also do IUI or JUST metformin and clomid?

I am taking just 500mg of metformin (increase to 1000mg tomorrow and so on) and I took provera to get my period. Usually when i take provera alone my period is pretty heavy and this time around (first timeon metformin) its really light. Like in 4 or more hours it barely covers the tip of a tampon (sorry TMI) has anyone had this on metformin the lighter periods? thanks girls!

I am 31 years old and am trying to get pregnant and went to the fertility doctor and she put me on METFORMIN so I can OVULATE, and I have been spotting since?? Anyone else with the same symptoms & how long did it take anyone to get pregnant using METFORMIN???

I've been researching this topic and have found that it can take as long as up to a year to restore a normal menstrual cycle. Some cases it may take 3-6 months, but I have read also up to a year. It just depends on how well your body reacts to it. And not in all cases is the weight an issue. Allot of women at a healthy weight have issues with a normal period each month too. I know how frustrating it is to wait for your period and it not be regular each month. Have you been under any stress?

m not sure if its really my period because its like a spotting and it last for about 3 days spotting.. am i pregnant or it just because of my pcos?? I really want to have pregnant and i'm 22 years old.. hope someone can help me..

im on metformin too, and did not have side affects at all. just the first week of sick feeling and diahreah and thats it. then again im on a low does for now, only 500mg until jan 4.

I spoke with my doc and he started me on metformin and povera. I stopped taking metformin after about a month because the tummy problems never went away! (sorry TMI ) Well I used provera from sept 2010 - May 2011 and did not ovulate once even with 3 of those months including Clomid. Provera does not make you ovulate it just induces a period, metformin lowers your insulin and clomid is for ovulation. Clomid doesn't work for everyone.

ve been on and off on Metformin. Lately I have been noticing like brown spotting discharge, and blood like discharge, does anyone knows why is this happening. At first I thought maybe I was getting my period but it did not happened,. Then again last night I notice brown spotting. I stopped taking the Met, and I have gained weight. ANy suggestions, I just hate the way Metformin makes me feel. and supposedly I have the lowest dosage.

It is all a bit overwhelming and I am constantly calling my Dr. Office and they have been amazing about calming me down and letting me know exactly what I should be doing. My advise call you Ob and explain everything and get actual answers every woman is different! Good Luck TTC!

Did your doc start you out at 1500mg? My doc started me on 500mg and then increased it to by 500mg every 2 weeks until I got to 1500mg/day. Ask your doc if you can start off at 500 then increase to 1500mg later. That should help a little or you can try the extended release tabs. I've noticed that I have mid cycle spotting and periods that are light bleeding/spotting now that I'm on metformin. They say it takes 6-12 months before improvement starts.

Hi I to have PCOS and have been on Metformin for a couple of months now and still never had a period and then my RE gave me provera to jump start my period (or in her words clean me out) and I just started before then I hadn't had a period since July of last year but only started to take the metformin in September and then stopped because of the side effects, and then started back in December, after switching from a regular gyn to a PCOS Specialist/RE and then I was basically told that this

heya guys, i was diagnosed with pcos about a year ago and was already trying to conceive, ive recently been put on metformin a dosage of 1500mg a day, it has started to regulate my periods but im spotting in the middle, was wondering if anyone else is on metformin and has this problem? Also my partner thinks he has a low sperm count didn't know if there was anyone else with this problem?

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 2 years ago, and was put on BC and Metformin. I never took the metformin but started to lose weight on my own. I am considered obese. I weighed 242 and am now at 231 at 5'4" not much, I know. That little bit of weight loss kick started my cycle. It was lasting every 42-46 days. 3 weeks ago I was due for my cycle and started spotting. Very little brown/pinkish mainly when I took a bm. Is has slowly gotten a bit heavier. But still just spotting.

I had sex on July 18th and AF was supposed to come on July 30th. Until now, no period, i had some spotting and cramps that have lasted for about 6 days. I've been on metformine and B12 for 2.

Some women will notice light spotting around the time of ovulation. This light spotting is known as ovulation spotting and is considered a great sign of fertility. What causes ovulation spotting? There are a couple of thoughts on what causes ovulation spotting. Some people believe that the light spotting is a result of the egg rupturing through the follicle during ovulation. It is thought that as the egg bursts from the follicle that a little bleeding may occur.

Hi I have PCOS and have been put on metformin the past nearly 6 months I've been regular with my periods which is odd for me as I never used to have one,me and my partner have been trying for a baby but so far had no luck but this month I missed my period but last week I had a light bleed that lasted for 3 days at most it looked like it should of been the end of a period not the start, when I read up online what it could be it came up with it could be implantation bleeding but all the HPT

First my specialist tried provera snd serephine ( it didnt work) then I was sent for an hsg and my tubes are clear and everything looked good and now I am on just metformin to regulate my insulin to help me ovulate.

I started metformin last weekend and desogen birth control pills last week. Just today I noticed I am spotting old blood. My body is doing lots of weird things but the spotting scared me a little. Has this happened to anyone else?

Ok today is cd17 for me and I'm spotting why am I spotting? Why is AF coming early again? This happened earlier this month AF came on 5/9 which turned my cycle into a 22day cycle. I'm on 1500mg metformin which should help regulate my cycle, I have PCOS. I seen the R.E. on 5/19 she told me my follicles were not mature enough yet to receive a hcg trigger. I asked her could I have a luteal phase defect due to my progesterone levels being low and she said she didn't think so.

I will continue taking Metformin since it seems to be helping me ovulate and regulate my menstrual cycles...and I will continue praying for my little miracle. Like you, I've inquired about Clomid but my DR has advised me to stay on Metformin, try to loose weight, and continue TTC...if too much time passes and still no baby....then she will put me on Clomid to see if it works....Good luck on your next appointment and definitely let me know how it goes!

hi, im concerned about my results with my hsg test. are my chances still high to conceive if my results were clear of blockage from my tubes??? i was also wondering if talking clomid & metformin er will help with the process??? and how should i take metformin??? should i start clomid and metformin together or finish clomid and then start metformin??? is there a particular way to take the combo medication??? i really need to get this clear. im so confused! your help will mean the world to me.

I currently taken 1500 mg of Metformin and was on birth control. I started on Loestrin FE and I found I would get double periods sort of. I would getting spotting for 3 days in week two but then my regualr period the last week. My doctor told me if it continued into month three call him. Well, it continued so he put me on Zovia 35 I think was the name.

hi holly when i took clomid it was 8years ago i did 3 repeat times and fell pregnant. I didnt get any spotting but i never had any periods b4. I have heard that ppl can get spotting though. I was precribed metform but upset my stomach so much i stopped.

I started spotting and that lasted for about 4 days. My doc said to count the first day of spotting as day 1 even though I've heard not to do that. I did use OPK this month and for the past three days it's says I am about to ovulate. I know they say that once you get the serge not to test again but I am anyway. I have have some spotting and a bit of cramping again started yesterday 8/31/09 and today. I guess it is ovulation bleeding.

good luck and hope it helps i didn't know metformin could be used for pcos since its a diabetic medication...

I ,too, have alot of spotting with discharge between my cycles. I do have a cyst on my left ovary associated with pcos. I'm am on metformin. I know they cause irregular bleeding. What I don't understand is why I am spotting the same time every month. I've read it could have alot to do with the changes in hormones. I've also heard some people spotting just before or during ovulation.
