Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hello it's me again. Has anyone had to take Metformin to help them get pregnant? Did you suffer from any awful side effects? If so, were they right away? Thank you Philippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I am currently on it and I am having a horrible time with it. Nausea, vomiting, and some diarrhea. I do better at the 1000 mg per dose but am supposed to take the 1500 mg per day dose. I have been taking the full dose this month because we are actively TTC now (I am in the 2 week wait right now). My OB/GYN left it up to me if I wanted to take it or not. I chose to because I do have PCO and prior to WLS I didn't have a cycle without it. I didn't want to take the chance of coming off BCPs and my cycles getting all messed. We are trying for our third child, we have a daughter 10 (bio), and our son is 3 (we adopted him after many years of infertility and 2 MC). Since I am down to 133 lb and am much healthier than I was prior to WLS we are hopeing things will happen this time for us. So far things are looking good, I bought a fertility monitor and it show I did have an LH surge on CD 12 & 13 so hopefully I ovulated. Good luck to you!
