Q: i have gone 2 weeks over my period date, could it be the metformin?
I have been on 2000 mg/daily metformin for over 2 years and have never had a problem with this, nor have I ever heard of this in metformin use. I also take actos and that can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. Stress can also casue changes in your cycle. See a DR if you don't get your period soon.
