Metformin/pregnancy? Concerned And Wondering If............ Posted: 02-08-06 18:32pm
My husband and I have been ttc for only
two months now. I am on metformin 850mg
tablets taking two a day. I am insulin
restant. ( I do not have dibetes but it
is some what the same thing) I have always
been concerned about it hurting the baby
incase I got pregnant with knowing it. I
have done some research and talked to some
people who have taken it and they have
told me that this can help you to become
pregnant. I do not know much about this
and was hoping some one who has maybe been
on it or knows something about it could
let me know.

I have pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome
with insulin resistance). I take 1500mg
of metformin a day. I got preg with #2
on met alone. I ovulated on cd 28 and
got pregnant. I am still taking my met
during pregnancy, until 12 weeks. It
reduces the chance of miscarriage for
women with hormonal and insulin issues.
Every study they have done has not shown
an increase in birth defects. I hope
this helps. Feel free to pm me if you
need to .

that met. Could help you get pregnant.How
long did it take you to conceive on the
met? Any info would be helpful. Thanks
