My Mood: Points: 14,214.37 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 14,214.37 | I'm 14 weeks pregnant and there is no talk of taking me off for a long time. I also have type 2 diabetes, so that has something to do with it. More and more studies are coming out that it's just as good as insulin and can actually help to reduce miscarraige rate

Points: 40,533.66 Bank: 49,240.58 Total Points: 89,774.24 | This is bad but they told me to get off at twelve weeks too but I am still taking a half dose (I had some extra bottles because I get 3 month doses at once and I had refills) whether they like it or not until I run out. I got off @12 weeks with my first child and gained a TON of weight. I really think that had something to do with getting off met but that could just be me.
