A member asked:
How long does it take before your period regulates itself while taking metformin (for pcos)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Metformin works by decreasing Insulin resistance (the cause for pcos in many people with the condition). How quickly you respond depends on many factors including your weight, degree of Insulin resistance, dose of metformin. Weight loss is very important in this disorder. Male hormone levels and prolactin also need to be checked.
