Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
As far as metformin causing you to bleed, it can cause you to start having a menstrual flow again as it changes your hormones. If the bleeding and clotting carries on to long, please contact your doctor to make sure all is well.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
