There IS research underway to see if met helps prevent 2nd and 3rd trimester complications in women with PCOS:

I have ideas to start a project to try to see if NIH or the Mayo clinic will study PTL/PROM/IC in women with PCOS... more to come.....

I hope something comes of this study. Sometimes (often, actually) findings come about that were not the originally intended question or answer.

I am saying this because I was on my perfect met dosage and actually behaving myself with food and not gaining weight when Mary Catherine came anyway. I was doing a really good job with that pregnancy, and it didn't work out. Since then, it's been "cave in to the cravings" policy around here. *rolling eyes* I guess because I didn't learn the lesson that being good gets good results.

Time to lose this weight!

Yeah, I remembered that. Sonshine_rae is also very good about her diet and was on met and had an IC-like condition in her pregnancy as well. I guess I am just glad that someone is paying attention to the fact that we have problems in the second and third trimesters as well. If met doesn't work, maybe they will look into what WILL work.

I have a question.... how do you know if you have IC befor its to late? I mean my 1st preg was fine but my 2nd was a mc ( very early) and I was just wondering HOW you would know if that is what caused it.

Cathy, IC doesn't cause problems until the second trimester, when the baby weighs enough to push down the cervix, causing it to open up. There's no way a very early miscarriage could be caused by IC.
