hi bec

i have been on metformin for about 18 months - 2 years. When i first got preg i stopped taking it because i was unsure if i should take it or not (didnt see the dr for 2 weeks) in the time i had stopped i did m/c, dont know if it was caused by the not taking metformin or because when i found out i was in emergency and had x-rays and scans and morphine. But i do think taking it in the first place had everything to do with me getting preg.

As for cos it is about $10 or less $5 concession for the less expensive brand (diaformin) and you get about 50 tabs i think.

The only prob i have with it is if i dont take it with food i i get an upset tummy and end up on the toilet lots.
Hello Tammara

you probably already know this but I was just googling and found this:

"Do I stop Metformin if I'm pregnant?
No. Several studies have shown that if metformin helps you get pregnant then taking it for the first 3 months also helps to reduce the risk of a miscarriage.
Metformin should be stopped before the second half of pregnancy because it can lower glucose levels in the baby, and this is not a good thing leading up to birth."

Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry to hear about your loss. FX for next time.
