I had a quick question.. Ive posted it before i think but never got a response. I started AF on April 16th for the first time on Met. Before now, i havent had one since May 2006. But, now its the 27th, and AF is STILL here!! It will stop, then come back, stop and come back, etc. Has anyone experienced this on Met?? Any info would be very helpful!! Thanx!!!!

hi.

i conceived on met. i am still on met to support my pregnancy. i did my own research and came to know tht there r women who stay on met throughout the pregnancy which is good and can also breastfeed while being on it.

my doc told me to stop from week 12-14. through my research, i talk to him again tht i want to be on it through out, then he said that he lets his patients stay on it for 18-20 weeks. he also said that its my choice if i want to stay on it cuz he makes his patients stop.

many doctors r hessitant cuz not many researches r done on met and its not FDA approved for PCOS.

Default Nausea

i've been having a lot of nausea lately (like when i was pregnant a couple of months ago). Is it too soon to suggest pregnancy again. I miscarried on Febuary 24th and finished the whole ordeal on March 26th. I have been taking Metformin seen April 1 and then i started spotting April 5-April 13th. I still didnt get a AF since the miscarriage(unless that was my AF from april 5-13). Any advice????

Trisha, I just want to say that I LOVE that you are ttc #4! People say I am crazy for having #3, but I DEFINITELY want a #4 and maybe more.

My Dr. is allowing me to stay on Met this pg for the first time. The only difference I notice is that I am not gaining as much weight as the last two times. That is enough good things for me though!

Beckee- WELL... that part of my signature could change daily!!! I keep having second thoughts about it. I DO have my hands full right now! I'm exclusively nursing though and with the exception of one PP AF (crazy!) at 8 weeks I'm not ovulating just yet anyway. My first two were 18 months apart and conceived on my first ovulation PP, so we'll see what happens this time! As of yesterday I do need to change my tag line though as I no longer have 3 under 5... I have 3 kids 5 and under now!

Hello all. I'm new to this thread and I was wondering. My doctor prescribed some Metformin 1000mg for me and I'm almost done. Well a friend of mines gave me hers, bc she couldnt swallow the pills. Well hers says Metformin ER 500mg. I'm not sure about the ER part. What on earth does that mean??

i really don't know much about it. i take regular, but plenty of pepole take er. only thing I'd be concerned with is going back and forth between the 2.. maybe someone else knows about it? also, you can get met pretty cheaply at walmart so if its just to save a few bucks, i'd probably just stick with your own.
