Re: Dr. SAM---2 questions =)From: Sue (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 27 Apr 2001 09:02:25 -0500 (CDT)
>my question is this: will raising my dosage of glucophage to 2000mg per day have a substantial effect on further lowering my insulin, thereby aiding other hormones to regulate and allowing pregnancy to occur? i am having trouble getting my doctor to go along with raising dosage, if it would help, could you direct me to a study, or article that documents this?< I tend to concur with your RE on this one; if you are responding well to met (it sounds like you are), then there is no real reason to up the dosage. Those who are on higher dosages than you are those who didn't respond at a lower dosage, or who are diabetic, or who are *really* IR. Since you have had pretty good success (with a lot of work, I'm sure!), I would suggest staying at the dosage you currently take. I was in your position last year (doing pretty well, but ttc and wanting to "up my chances" of ovulation), and talked my RE in to upping my dose from 1500 mg to 2000 mg per day. Unknown to all of us, I had developed clots in my legs that were moving their way to my lungs (thank the Lord it wasn't my heart or brain!), and between that and the increased dose of met, I had severe complications that nearly took my life several times. So IMHO, stay where you are and keep ttc. If you don't have luck, see if you can get a rx for Clomid or some other ovulation inducer instead of upping the dose of met. Good luck!
