Thanks for the feedback Summer! Thats awesome that you lost 9kg and that Side effects only lasted a couple of weeks. And yay for conceiving your DD without even trying - thats what happened with my DS too.. but I'm not expecting it to be that easy this time round

Hi Black Rose,
Metformin has been recommended to me by one of my docs. Can I ask why you were prescribed it??
Hope you feel better soon!

When I first started on Metformin the specialist (I have PCOS) advised to start on a smaller dose and gradually increase. Half a tablet for a week then a full up to the dose I was on I think it was one and half at the time but they weren't the slow release as I started taking them in 2004. Also I would recommend taking them with food if you are not already. In the beginning I took them in a morning before I left for work and then ate my breakfast when I got to work, but by then I couldn't eat as I felt nauseas as the tablets had kicked in.
Your body will get used to them it will just take time. I conceived both my babies taking metformin. DS1 was a it will happen when it happens. DS2 was planned and it took 2 months to fall pregnant with DS2. Please remember I had been taking it a while. I look at metformin as diluting the the environment around the ovaries to give the egg chance to ripen and be released.
