Hi there,
Congratulations on your baby! That is awesome!! I wanted to clarify what
you had said below about taking the metformin for the first trimester??
Did you doctor say you should continue for just the first three months??
Last August we became pregnant and my doctor told me to stop taking the
metformin because the baby was already helping my hormone levels even
out. We ended up loosing the three of them at 2 1/2 months :( I am back
to trying the meds and just worry about when we get pregnant again??? I
keep hearing that I need to take it, but then the doctor always makes
such good sense and tells me not too? I don't know what to do? Can you
help? Thank you!!
