The last time I had a natural period was in 2001, I think, other than that, I've had to use BC to start. And I've currently gone 3 years w/out one now. And I'm on Metformin XR 2000mg and still no AF. So I'm a thinking (doctor thinks so too) that I'm a gonna have to have fertility drugs and a cycle starter when I TTC again. (had to stop because of no insurance)

think my longest one was around 5-8 years without one. Sometimes if i work out or do somthing the day before where i walk a lot i will get my period. But not always.

I take 2000 mg of Metformin a day and ever since I started taking that about a year ago, I've been regular ever since. The longest I've gone between was 50 days.
