I never felt quite right on Met. I had a loss of appetite and my hair seemed to be falling out. I did get more regular periods but I had already been having a period almost every month for a year before I went on Met and the fertility drugs, Clomid and Femara. I was really surprised my body didn't respond to getting pregnant when I ovulated on Clomid at 100mg and that I didn't ovulate on Femara at 5mg and even with an HCG shot, we weren't pregnant. I decided to give my instincts a chance, went off of Metformin but continued taking the Femara from CD 3-7. It worked the first time! Before we even knew I was pg, my new RE wanted to do a glucose test to see if I was IR. So, I continued off of Met for that test, and before I could even take the test, I found out I had BFP!
NataliesMom:
I asked my RE if I should start taking Met again to decrease the risk of miscarriage but she said that they recommend only continuing on Met if you were taking it before getting pregnant (and since I am most likely non-IR, I agreed). She said there are no long term studies that Met works and there are side-effects that could possibly harm the baby.
I know my body and it did not want to get pg with the Met.
