Glucophage And Infertility
Posted: 06-25-05 19:41pm

I recently went to my gyn and he told me I had low progesterone. He put me on glucophage and two months from now clomid will be added. I was wondering if glucophage is widely used for infertility since it is a diabetes med. I have never heard of it being used and just wondered how much it will help me because it is making me ill ,i.E. Diarrhea and gas. I feel like stopping it but if it is effective I will deal with the symptoms.
Please help! :?

They should have given you an information sheet of side effects and info. But you should talk to the dr anyway.
Goodluck

Glucophage side effects
Posted: 05-18-08 15:36pm

I recently been diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome and was prescribed the same medicines as you. My gyn started me out on a low dose of the glucophage working up to a full dose, due to the side effects. I've been taking prenatal vitamins along with the medication and that seems to help. The iron has the oposite effect as the glucophage so I think it balances itself out. That might help. Good luck! I hope things work out for you.
