Congrats, Haley!! I, too am 5 1/2 weeks and have the same concerns. From what I've read, Glucophage in the first trimester seems to decrease the liklihood of miscarriage, however some studies have shown that infants can have an increased mortality rate on Glucophage in the third trimester. There are different studies that show different things so it is best decided between you and your Dr, but you're doing a great job of keeping yourself informed!
