OMG!! Sue I always have had in the back of my mind that if I had not stopped taking Actos (15mg) during my last pregnancy I probably would have not misscarried at 20 1/2 weeks ( was last October). I am no Doctor but it only makes sense to me now.When I got pregnant everyone was telling me to stop taking it..my RE,I also saw a perinatologist for an amnio..he said not to take and my OB wanted me to stop..they all said they didnt know if it would cause birth defects or not and would rather I not take it. Believe me next time I will challenge them and keep taking it I am on a very low dosage anyhow. you dont know how angry this makes me.I know that my PCOS and hormone inbalances has everything to do with my misscarriages and being IR only makes the situation worse.Thanks, Dona
