Default Metformin and Liver

Has anyone that has been taking Met have their liver effected by the medicine? When I had my 3 month checkup last month to check my liver functions they were high so they retested them a month later and are even higher so my GYN has sent me to another Dr to have my liver looked at for them to figure something out.
Has anyone gone through the same thing? I am concerned about it all and if I end up preg before they go back to normal am I going to have problems?

I haven't. But Met is metabolized through the liver, which is one reason why it's good to have it tested and another good reason to avoid alcohol while taking Met...you don't want to overload the liver...

Before my gyno put me on Met, she wanted to have my liver function tested (just in case). The levels came back high, so she sent me to a GE to get his ok. He said it was "fatty liver--a.k.a. NASH", and that Met should help with it as well as the PCOS and to go ahead and take it. I guess it depends on what is high in your liver bloodwork...?
