Not everyone gets the GI side effects. I did, but my partner never did.
With regard to your other query, it depends on a lot of things. Met isn't a cycle-regulating drug, it just addresses insulin resistance. So when your period resumes/normal cycling starts, very much depends on how severe your IR is, and what your body considers to be ideal conditions (in terms of weight, insulin levels, hormone levels/function) for cycles to resume.
ETA - dosages start small and are increased on the basis of need. Starting met at the maximum dose can be very dangerous, so usually people start on 500-1600mg per day, and the dose can be adjusted up to the max at the prescriber's discretion.
