Hi,
Just FYI, I'm 23 weeks pregnant and still taking metformin. I kept up
my normal dosage until week 14 and since then I'm only on one pill a day
with dinner. My amnio was normal as well as all ultrasounds. So far
I've only gained five pounds and my blood sugar is normal. My ob/gyn
said she thought I should go off of it after 12 weeks but all the
research I could find as well as several endocrinologists seemed to
indicate that staying on it would only be beneficial. And so far it
has. I feel great and my pcos seems to temporarily have halted while
pregnant.
