I have been on metformin for 6 months now and have been on cerelle pill for years. I missed my metformin for 5 days due to not picking up prescription...started the metformin again on Thursday last week, then on Sunday afternoon I had an outburst of very dark blood in my knickers and it has carried on ever since, been 4 days now. I have been to my GP and screened for infection and refererrd for Ultrasound, also had preg test which was negative. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever had this issue before? Appreciate your thoughts! Thanks ladies x
