What Does Absence Of Menstrual Bleeding While On Metformin Indicate?

I have PCOS. I started on metformin 1000mg a day. My period was coming every month. It stopped coming back in August. Pregnancy test came back negative a month later in September. In early October, I increased metformin to 1500 mg a day. Still no period. What could be going on?
