I have been taking Metformin for a year. I had lots of gastric side effects. My RE switched me to the extended release version in August and I have had much better luck. I have not lost any weight and I have not ovulated on my own. However, I have heard of people losing lots of weight and I have heard of lots of people ovulating on their own.

I hope it works for you!
