[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2169145, member: 196960"] I was in a lot of pain too with cramps so I know just how metformin can take its toll. In fact the same with pre period shows. Loose tummy, diarrhea and cramps..... then a period after none for on average 8ths. Once I got over the first few days I was delighted... I ovulated. On my own. No IVF to induce it. Then every month got a bit easier and actively trying to get pregnant was a joy instead of dread and pumped with IVF hormones and hospital procedures/appointments. I'd probably not take a drug either if I found no benefits to it. For me though, it was huge. I'm back on regular metformin which I reintroduced very very slowly after a stomach and intestine bariatric operation. I hv bouts of wondering is this metformin, returned IBS or just my body reaction as always most pre menstruating days. A specialist may know best about how the change of hormones influences or digestive system. I do feel none menstruating patients hv a far different experience to me. Although being told I've already gone through the change at 48 without much fuss then hv the occasional bleed tells me I'm not out of needing metformin yet. One day I may not. Then of course I won't take it, who would? [/QUOTE]
