nothing2lose: i haven't read the thread but i just wanted to ask you if you are starting with the full dose straight away ? when i started it i started on a low dose and built it up slowly to reduce side effects

Thanks everyone
My FS (who is a reproductive endocrinologist) didn't mention starting slowly but based on what I have read I think I will. I took my first tab this morning (with a big bowl of porridge). Not sure whether to just take the 500mg for three days, then add another 500gm at night for another few days, then add the final 500gm at night...
I guess it wouldn't hurt!

Just took my second tablet. No effects yesterday, so will see how I go today and up the dosage on Tuesday to 1000 if all goes well.
Got on the scales this morning (I am a daily weigher) and I was 500gm less than yesterday. Haha! I know it's not the metformin but I am pretending it is to keep me motivated
