Thanks girls. You'd think the dr's would get it right! I honestly don't want to reduce it early when I do fall pregnant Have heard too many cases of early mc for it to be a coincidence.

What dose are you at BG?

BW & LSK - I'm sorry you had to go through that Congrats on your pregnancy BW! I hope it's a H&H one.

Belle, I think it's because it's only recent research and it hasn't necessarily filtered all the way through to all doctors.

Belle, i'm on Diabex XR (extended release) 1500 per day - i was on the same dosage as you but because i had such dire response to it (i was really really ILL!), i was swapped to XR.

Thanks BG. I think I will chat with my ob when the time comes.

I was on Metformin 1000mg day dose for PCOS, i stopped taking it soon after i found out i was pregnant. No body mentioned to me the risk of miscarriage.

I was fine though and delivered a healthy bub, im still not back on my dose yet as i am breastfeeding and GP wants to wait till we get results back on insulin levels etc, before deciding what to do

Hi Tanya,
I'm glad it worked out perfect for you I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but now that I know about the risk, I think I am more paranoid! lol
