Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15, and I’m 30 now. I’ve been on Yasmin for a little over a year, and around 2 months ago I started Metformin. About 10 days ago, I increased my dose from 500 mg to 1000 mg.
Since increasing the dose, I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of spotting. It’s not super heavy, but it’s frequent, and sometimes I get painful cramps along with it. I also noticed that the spotting increased briefly after sex, which has made me even more anxious.
I’m honestly really concerned and a bit scared because this hasn’t happened to me before. I’m not sure if this is just my body adjusting to the higher Metformin dose or if it’s something I should be worried about.
Has anyone experienced something similar after increasing Metformin (especially while on birth control)? Is this kind of spotting and cramping normal, or should I see a doctor soon?
Any advice or shared experiences would really help. Thanks so much.
