I took 1000mg/day for a year (Feb. 05 to Feb. 06) and I lost some weight... I'd say 15-20? For part of that time I was also going to the gym (Feb. 05 to May 05). At that time, I went from having zero cycles/year to having 4.
When I started going to the fertility specialist, he doubled the dose to 2000mg/day and I dropped more weight. I think it has levelled off now but we'll see. He said that minimum therapeutic dose for PCOS with Metformin is 1500mg, and 2000mg works better. Since starting that, I get a period on my own (without any drugs) every 35 days or so with natural ovulation around day 20-21. So in that case the higher dose has really worked the way it was supposed to (cycles) as well as the way I wanted it to (weight).
