HI All !!
I have recently started to take met again after having my baby. I decided to get back on slowly this time, when I first went on it my gyn put me straight to 3 tabs a day... :eek:
I have also found from last time that I have to by very careful about what I eat while taking metformin, any kind of carbs/sugar didnt agree with me. It was the same with alcohol... I havent really had a drink for about a yr and a half because of it!!!
Re stayin on it in pregnancy.... My gyn told me to stay on it for 12 weeks as it reduces the risk of mc.. my sister recently fell preg and stopped taking met and she lost the babies (was preg with twins)... dont know if stopping the met was the reason but could have been.......
Smegs, ask ur gyn why he told u not to take it and if it helps, print some of the articles u read that said to continue with the tabs and tale them in for ur next appointment. You can then have a discussion about it....
