HI,
I am in 1000mg of met a day. My original dr told me to quit as soon as I got my BFP. Im 16 weeks and have still been taking it.
I am overweight (219) prepreg and now the same weight. At my Dr appt yesterday my new doc told me to quit the metformin. I asked about gd and she said it wasnt an issue and they would test for it...and treat it if I got it. After I voiced my concern about quiting met she said to go to 500mg a day...and to wean myself off.
My concern now is weight gain and gestational diabetes. With the weight gain all the reading I have been doing is telling me that "larger/heavier" women prepreg shouldnt gain as much weight as those who are skinny. As it can cause complications. Im afraid that once I go off the met my weight will go out of control. I have this concern because prepreg when I wasnt taking met my weight would balloon when I was barely eating at all...and when I took met prepreg I could actually eat "normally" and maintain and even lose weight.
My other concern is that going off the met can increase my chances of getting gd.
Anyone have any similar concerns or stories?
