Hi Laura. I know you wrote your message quite some time ago. How are you? How was your pregnancy? Did you successfully carry to term? I hope so.. I am finding myself in the same boat you were back in april. I am currently 11 weeks along, and a little confused as to what to do. My M.D. advises to continue with the glucophage during the first trimester, and possible through to week 28. I haven't been able to find many women who have gone through this. Any information you can pass on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot, Michelle Z.
