Newbie here, taking metformin, needing someone to tell me I’m not going crazy 🤪
Hi everyone, so it took me 5 years to get a diagnosis and 1 year being diagnosed. I’ve been trying to conceive for the whole 6 years and am one of the lucky few in the uk to try metformin for fertility reason.
Two days prior to starting them I started my period, everything was normal. I started the metformin which I was so excited for… however, I’ve been taking them for 23 days now and I’m still on my period. But since starting the medication I have noticed my period took a turn, it’s the heaviest period I have had for years, and is showing absolutely no sign in slowing down.
I need to know if this is normal and/or has happened to others, usually my periods are okay but this one is unbearable. I’ve gone through 7 pack of sanitary pads and 2 boxes of tampons. And I feel like it’s never going to end.
So please, if anyone can help/offer advice I’d appreciate it greatly.
I don’t want to not give the medication an opportunity to work before I call it quits but if there’s no sign of it getting better from here I may have to 😩
Thanks everyone ♥️
