Hello,
Both tablets contains the same medicine metformin but in a different dose.earlier you was taking 500mg and now 850mg.Since your blood sugar levels are high and also you are planning to conceive metformin will be appropriate medicine for you.there are no side effects of this related to menstruation infact this helps in regularising menstruation.So lets have a consult with your gynecologist for the cause.
Amh levels are used to assess the ovarian reserve. Though its not the best test but it gives a rough idea about the chance.
Hope this helps.Thank you.
