Pregnancy Info HOME

I have been on metformin for 6 months and I just want to encourage those out there to keep it up! The side effects should get better after a few weeks. If they don't, they may want to decrease the dosage but you have to eat right. You have to try to limit simple carbohydrates (sugar and white bread, white rice, etc). Met CAN cause hypoglycemia if you don't eat! You should try to eat 3 smaller meals with snacks and don't go too long without eating something! Always try to pair your carbohydrate with a source of protein. Sorry I am a RD with PCOS so:) Also, even if your fasting Insulin levels are normal you should do a glucose tolerance test to confirm. My insulin level was normal but my glucose tolerance test showed that I am insulin resistant and how important it is to take the met and eat/exercise right! I am very anxious to get pregnant but know it's going to take time for my body to get right, after so many years of struggling! Hang in there! And best of luck to all!
