Pregnancy Info HOME

Teddyfinch: I'm sorry, but just about everything you've said here is incorrect. 1) Metformin does not increase insulin production; rather, it sensitizes your body to insulin so you don't overproduce. Therefore, it is extremely rare for hypoglycemia to result from met therapy alone. I'm not saying that anyone should meddle with their scripts on their own, just that there is very little chance of hypoglycemia from met. 2) Adding met to clomid has good rates of success (ovulation and pregnancy) even in clomid-resistant patients, and is a great combo. But still, clomid+met has a lower risk of multiples than clomid alone. See Oct 2007 Journal of Reproductive Medicine; May 2007 New England Journal of Medicine; March 2008 Fertility and Sterility.
