Metformin x Period x Headaches

Johna • Life is a beautiful struggle.

I was diagnosed with PCOS, no cysts currently but a large amount of follicles. Doctor prescribed 1000 mg of metformin to help with PCOS and prediabetes. Been on the medications for 5 weeks. Just got a light light period and for the past 8 days I have had major headaches, unbearable headaches. What do you ladies do to help the headaches? Also, when did everyone else start their period with metformin?
