I'm having the same problem with metphormine. I spoke to my dr and his answer was keep taking it sometimes it takes a while for the body to even out.

I thought this wasn't a very good answer from him but I did want you to know you are not alone.

Possibly you aren't on the right dose yet. I was on 500mg day and nothing, then 1000 and nothing, now i am on 1500 /day and i have lost about 10 pounds so far. I still don't feel like mine is coming off as fast as I've heard of on here, but for now the 1500 mg is doing good for my other symptoms and my period last month was regular (28 days). 

So, what dose are you on? Maybe you can talk to your doc about increasing.

Hi there!  As one of the posters said, it could just be a matter of time.  The truth be told, the last time I was on Met., I didn't start losing weight until after about a year and a half.  However, I got regular AF and started to O on my own and many other things.  The thing is, all our bodies are different and while obviously the Met is helping considering the other good effects that you have had, we all heal differently and it is probably just a matter of time before that part starts happening.

Another thing is that even on the Met it is very important to eat right and exercise.  If you are on the Met and still eating a lot of carbs and other bad things, then it a way you are working against what the Met is trying to do.  Take a look at what you are eating and try to change things a bit and see what happens.  You can post what you eat in a day and I can try to give you some pointers.

Hang in there!  You are getting good results already.  Hopefully the weight will start going down!  Keep me updated!  Laura
