Irregular bleeding is one of the most common problems Obgyns treat.: If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . there are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle.

Answer: If you don't normal ovulate then the metformin may be causing hormone fluctuations that may be causing the bleeding. This may be a good sign. However, need more.
