Success after IF

Forgot how awful met was...

DH and I are TTC #2 but we are going to try until May without going to the RE.  Really we've been trying for 2 years since I never went on BCP after DD was born, but now we are officially trying.  I went to my OB for my annual and told her this and she offered up Met.  I took it while trying for DD and eventually just stopped because I wasn't responding.  I was on the ER version then.

My OB thinks that the 2x daily dose is better for me so I started taking one with dinner on Monday.  It was rough initially but really kicked into high gear yesterday and today.  I have been in the bathroom (sorry, TMI) nonstop (literally, at least every 30 minutes) all day.  It's awful and I hate it.  I haven't even gotten to take it twice yet.  I skipped my dose tonight because I just needed a break. 

If you are on non extended release Met, how long did it take your body to adjust??

On a happier note, DD had her second birthday party today and it was awesome!  My BIL dressed up as Elmo (he's a saint) and she was soooo in love! :)

Re: Forgot how awful met was...

  • I'm sorry :(  I was on 800 2x a day too and I know how much it sucks...  I think it took me about 2 weeks to be totally back to normal.  Try to limit your carbs and hopefully that will help a bit...good luck!

  • I feel your pain. We're TTC #2 as well and also got put back on Met. Unfortunately, it's been about 6 weeks for me and I'm still suffering from the side effects :( Not as bad as at first but I still have an "episode" about every other day. I'm so over it.
