Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. My DH and I are TTC for baby
#1. This is the first month I have ovulated and I just started the
Glucophage a few months ago!
I do have another question. I think I read somewhere on here that it is
reccommended that you take the Glucophage through the 1st tri-mester to
decrease the risk of miscarriage. I notice you said that you are no
longer taking it. I am just wondering b/c hopefully we'll be pregnant
soon!
Again congratulations!!
