 Continuing Natural Remedies when Pregnant???
Hi all!
I started taking D-chiro-inositol in December (when my doctor threatened me with Metformin - YIKES!) along with N-acetyl-cysteine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. I am not sure which did the trick, but taking these really made me feel better and I think even made it easier for me to get pregnant, which I did twice (once in the end of February and then again in the beginning of May).
As soon as I got pregnant I stopped all supplements though, including the DCI. And both times I miscarried at about 7 weeks. My doctor thinks that the Insulin Resistance/PCOS issues are related to the miscarriages and wants to put me on Metformin and have me stay on it the next time I get pregnant.
My husband has developed a theory that the supplements addressed the Insulin Resistance/PCOS symptoms allowing me to get pregnant (we've been together two years and never used any contraceptives), and then stopping the supplements caused my Insulin Resistance/PCOS symptoms to return leading to the miscarriages.
Do you think that stopping these supplements could contribute to miscarraige?
If so, do you think it is safe (or at least as safe as Metformin) to take these during pregnancy???
Any thoughts are very appreciated!
Thanks!
