metformin and your period flow??

[foreverpoppy9]

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!

HI,

I think its the Provera, not the metformin. I also take provera to get a period and i take metformin.

I have only been taking 500mg of metformin (scared to increase) :-)

I noticed that with the provera, I had a heavy bleed, next month it was just light, then the next month it was medium.

I don't think there is anything you need to worry about, as long as you are getting the period then its all good!

i spotted on saturday and sunday and monday was light now this morning nothing....? maybe it will pick up this afternoon. i'm confused!

Did your period just start? Sometimes you can get spotting for a day or a few days before full flow starts. My RE has me count the first day of full flow as CD1.
