| Hi....
I was put on 1500mg in April... I was on 1500mg 'till 2 weeks ago.. My Dr. wants me to be off by Jan 1st( I am 18 1/2weeks PG) but I am going to take 1000mg for about another 6 weeks ( I still have a refill remaining on the Rx..so I am filling it..w/out him knowing..) so I will be 24weeks when I totally get off..do you think I should wean myself off and go down to 500mg for the last week or so..I can't ask my Dr. because he wants me off in 2weeks..he did say to stop gradually...what do you girls think...?
I wouldn't mind staying on 'till the end...I think the MET helps keep me 'regular' so far no pregnancy constipation at all...
I wonder if I will get an accurate reading at my 26week glucose tolerance test being that I will just have gotten off 2weeks before??
thanks..hope I didn't confuse you all...

Rani...I'm staying on my met for the entire pregnancy - I should have enough refills to get me through. I also find it helps keep me regular - and from gaining alot of weight. In fact, I haven't gained more than a 1 pound....but baby is doing fine and measuring ahead - so I am getting everything I need.
I think if I find out that I'm running low on met towards the end I'll go down to 1 pill a day - if nothing else but to help with constipation problems.
