If I recall correctly, read the insert that comes with your
Glucophage. It does mention that it may cause your birth control to
be less effective. As a matter of fact, my doc warned me that
Glucophage would rise my chances of getting pregnant. Although I am
not TTC, I am sure it has the same effect on all users.
GOD BLESS!
