Default Tummy pain on Metformin

Hello everybody (sounds like Simpsons episode)

I am a little worried about some stomach pains I have been getting. It's doesn't seem to be wind pain. It's more like cramping, but not period pain cramping.

I have been on metformin almost a month and up until now haven't had any real discomfort. If it was gastric pain or something I wouldn't be alarmed, it's just that it's such a weird sorta pain, not excruciating but very uncomfortable. Pains under my ribs and different types

Do women get this sorta pain when pregnant??? (I'm ttc)

I thought it may also be from having fajitas last night? I haven't been having much greasy food lately. As I said it doesn't feel like gastric pains though.

Hope someone can help, Thanks heaps.

i'm also having this kind of pain. was very sensitive during my well woman exam when she was feeling for fibroids...

i'm also TTC, and yes, it's almost like a symptom. I've been pregnant before and remember that feeling, but I KNOW I'm not pregnant--pretty hard to be pregnant if you don't ovulate.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to post about my pain also when I found this. I started MET last week. I just started 1000 mg the day before yesterday. I have had pain around my lower abdomen since last night. The pain seems to be coming from my ovaries but I know I haven't ovulated. If anybody has any ideas, please share.

i would guess it's just because you just started. 1000 mg is quite a bit to adjust to... I hope it goes away soon. Met can kick your butt in the beginning.

I also started met about 5 days ago. 500 MG. I have been getting pains also that feel like they are my ovaries. I also do not believe it is ovulation. I am going to call the Dr tomorrow just to check. Let you know.

Hey Lizziebelle. Thanks for your reply. Please keep me updated. Your reply caught my attention because I am also from Davie. I live in Pine Island Ridge. What a coincidence. What DR are you seeing? I am not seeing an RE. I see Dr. Pablo Quintella on Stirling a block east from Palm Avenue in Cooper City.
