Re: Metformin success storiesFrom: Lorrie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 31 Mar 2000 16:14:12 -0600 (CST)
I was taking metaformin since November and just found out that I am pregnant. I was taking 850 mg twic daily, however, had to decrease to 500mg twice daily due to stomach problems. As soon as i told my reproductive endocrinologist that I was pregnant he had me discontinue the metaformin.
