Has anyone who has taken this drug to regulate their cycle and ever had it stop working for them after taking it awhile? It usually makes me fairly regular but now I haven't had a period in almost 3 months and I'm not pregnant...unfortunately. It worked really well for me before the birth of my first child over a year ago and since I started taking it again I'm not having the same results with it.

I'm taking three 500 mg tablets a day. I've also noticed it's harder to lose weight than before.

It sounds like you may need a higher dose. What dose are you currently taking?
Also, some women find that if they switch to the XR version or if they are on xr, switch to the regular version it starts working again.
I would call my dr and ask if you can increase the dose.

hi there, sometimes your body changes due to hormones mainly and that's why it might not be working the same, sometimes they prescribe Clomid along with metformin to get you regulated again, you should ask your doctor, you can also ask an RE (fertility specialist) online for free, try www.FertilityTies.com
good luck!

I took Met for over a year and it never helped regulate my cycle or helped me ovulate. Best of luck...I hope it works better for you!

not me, but maybe you have some other underlaying cause this time around. I would suggest going to your doctor and get some test done.
