Hello there! I just started Metformin 5 days ago and last night was the first I had any side effects! Woke up to stomach cramps (bad!) and diarrhea!
Took some peptobismol and after waiting about 3 hrs, I finally feel "ok". I did have an egg sandwich for supper and just read on this thread to avoid eggs. So, I will definitely do that!!
Thanks for this thread!! It's soo helpful!
I am only taking 500mg once a day for the first week and then dr. wants me to take 500mg 2x's a day after that.
I'm only taking Metformin for PCOS symptoms. He didn't do any tests on me, but says that I definitely have PCOS.
I'm 30, have had 3 miscarriages.. 1995, 1996 and 2001. Had our son in 1997 (thank God!) I don't have my periods on my own, am 60 pds overweight and have skin tags. I'm hoping Met will help me ovulate, have normal periods again, lose weight and eventally get pg again.
Thanks to Cathy from the Backstage w/Jon Bon Jovi board for telling me about this site! It's great!!
Hope to chat more w/you all!!
Take Care!
