Tried this on the 1st trimester board but no bites lol... Anyone else on Metformin? I was on 2,000mg a day but cut down to 1,500 because I couldn't stomach it. Well, this morning I forgot to take my pill. I do one in the morning and two at night but I actually didn't throw up at work for once lol... I'm going to talk to my dr but if you are on it, has your doctor mentioned when you are stopping? Last time I went to my RE it wasn't my actual dr so I'm going to call tomorrow to ask.
Hi! I was on Metformin for fertility purposes. My Dr. recommended that I stop at 12weeks. You should definitely talk to your Dr. though about when to stop.
I'm not too bad the side effects make me nauseous but I just try to ignore it . I mean it's not easy and I really don't like the medicine but what with morning sickness and tiredness the metformin just adds to the all round feeling out of whack.
Just keep thinking to yourself your end goal - having that healthy beautiful baby . That's what makes me stomach that pill.
My doctors said 12 weeks, if she advises longer , I will do that too .
@MrsB627 - if you have to be on it for a while yet, ask your doctor about Glumetza. It's the extended release version, so it's coated. I took that a while ago for my PCOS because I just couldn't stomach the Metformin. It was much kinder to my intestinal tract.
