glucophage

I have had stomach pains and upset stomach since being on them, the plus side is that I have lost weight so am very happy about that but wondered if anyone else has experienced the stomach pain and if so how long did it take for it to subside. If anyone has any advice etc I would be so grateful.

The medicine she's on is called glucophage(spelling?). I don't know if anyone's heard of it but she's supposed to take it 3 times a day w/ each meal and she never does. I only know this because my parents told me about this and asked for my help. How do I convince her to take her medicine and do the other required things to prevent her from getting diabetes?

It is a long road and it takes a good deal of internal to get through it. Thanks for your sharing experience, it does help.

(keep in mind that this the same doctor who just put 4 stents in me over the past 6 weeks.) My regular Cardiologist told me he dosent feel Fish Oil does anything for the Heart but he takes it for his Knee inflamation. "Meanwhile from what I read there is much more documented success on Fish Oil for Heart Disease than with Knee inflamation. I this world of Medicine I know we have to deal with the almighty $$$$ and it is a business.

He went, though not to the GI. He went to his primary gp. And he put him on glucophage and then I tell him don't take that, get a second opinion..etc. I have a back condition that I am fighting to recover from, and learn about, and I have done extensive research, implemmented what makes sense, with my chiropractor's guidance, and it's working. I don't understand people who won't even read labels. I wonder...

IF I AM IRREGULAR DO I HAVE LESS CHANCE OF GETTING PREGNANT? OR HOW DOES IT AFFECT ME? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET PREGNANT FOR A WHILE ALREADY BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HAPPEN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH OR WHAT. THEY'VE TOLD ME IF I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT, IT DOESN'T HELP. THAT I JUST NEED TO RELAX'S AND ENJOY IT. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT, BUT STILL NOTHING HAPPENS. THEY TELL ME THAT WHEN I LEAST EXPECTED IT WILL HAPPEN.

After another 5 days in the hospital, no one really knows what is going on. How many times does my husband have to go into ketosis before someone tells us what is going on. It is so frustrating. Keep om the tx, and keep getting 500 blood sugars. I hope my husband survives this nightmare.

The 3rd month I got preggo. I am now 11 weeks! What days were you taking it and how long have your cycles been????

Anyway, not trying to give you the lemondade out of lemons lecture. But depending on how you handle the situation, it can actually work out pretty good if you're willing to put in some dedicated effort (and you seem like the sensible type of person who would). Hope it works out for you.

When I was discharged from the hospital and started back on my glucophage, they only wanted me to take 500mg a day. I need to take at least 1000mg a day in order for my milk to possibly come in. So, we are going to slowly take my dose back up to the 1500 mg I was on before and see if it helps. It moght not simply because it has already been 5 weeks. They told me that it would take a few weeks to notice a difference, so wish me luck.

I have been ttc for 19 months now. I did have two m/c's. One in February @ 5 wks 3 days and one in June @ 10 wks 5 days though I was not showing that far along. Both ended up as a blighted ovum. I had a D&C for the 2nd pregnancy and have not been able to conceive since. We do know through my RE that I have a low progesterone problem. We are going to try clomid to bring my progesterone levels up and increase my chances in conceiving. It will be my first round when AF arrives Dec. 13.

i want to know is there anyone that has PCOS and just taking glucophage and got preg? if yes how long did it take you? my doc. wont give me clomid because he feels that i can get preg. just with glucophage..and its frastuarting!!i always thought that since you get your AF every month automatically you ovulate..how come im not? every month its always the same story..does glucophage really help you ovulate? PLEASE HELP I NEED TO KNOW!! thank you!!

I started taking just 500mg, then 1000mg three days later. I may wait until after the weekend to go up to 1500mg. Also, how long does take to work? My RE said a couple of weeks, but I thought longer.

I started taking 1 500 mg tablet per day and just started taking two. My question is, how long does this take to work. I haven't had my period in six months (definitely not pregnant). Thanks!

Well having had 7 (possibly 8 but it wasn't confirmed by blood) pregnancy losses myself I though mmm there might be some truth to that statement. Anyways I then googled how to get your testosterone levels down and it came up with the obvious which is losing weight (I have tried for so long but having pcos makes it so hard!!) and another way is drinking spearmint tea.

I am on round five right now since our last loss. It can take up to a year once things are working. Good Luck!

As people have a bad habit of coming to work sick, and I could not take any chances with my levels as low as they were. they would not let me telecomute from home, as its not in our Union Contract. Errrrrrrr. Finally had to go get my hair cut off short about the beginning of April it was so thin , that It it really looked bad. It looked OK for awhile, but the thinner it got, the shorter I had to have it cut. I tried a wig.. Didn't like it all. Tried scrafs..

Usually my jaw hurts along with it and the pain comes on randomly and has been going on before I even started taking Synthroid. I have been on Prevacid, it didn't work, then they had me take Metoclopramide 10mg that gave me diarrhea and made me tired all the time so I got taken off that and they put me on Aciphex.20mg I've been on that almost a month now, and its working a little on the nausea in the mornings, but does nothing for the pains.

ALSO FOUND THIS! Just now How long it takes Metformin to work depends on the reason that a woman is taking metformin. If a woman is taking metformin to regulate her blood sugar, metformin typically will work within a few days or a few weeks at the most. For the woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) metformin can help to reduce the amount of insulin in the body. Once the insulin levels are under control, many women will then experience improved ovulation.

nothing on Friday, then today, very very light pink but not all day just a little. Does anyone have a clue about how to help me? Sorry this is so long, I am just desperate for help. I appreciate any help that I can get from anyone.

She either has to manage this better or take the Metformin [Glucophage] to help lower her levels. I take 500 mg [1 tablet] of Metformin w/food once daily with zero side effects. Xanax is RX'd for panic attacks and anxiety disorders. Strange drug to RX an 83 yo. 3. Change, even for the better, is hard for a lot of people to accept. We don't know your mother so little advice can be given except keep trying.

the doc gave me Clomid to increase teh chances since my husband has only 20% active motility + 23 m/ I will ask my doc about the Estrace (an estrogen), When do you take it? after OV? or before? For how long have you taken it? Thank you very much.

D Don't be a stranger :P. Take care!!!

I AM TAKING GLUCOPHAGE 500MG 3 TIMES A DAY..IM WORRIED ILL NEVER GET PREG. CAN I ASK YOU HOW LONG IT TOOK YOU TO GET PREG.? AND WHERE U TAKING ANYTHING? I WANT A BABY SOO BAD :( THANK YOU! AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

i am on metformin and keep tacking it it works i am now on my 3rd period in a row with only the metformin. I plan on talking to my doctor about taking clomid bc it does help you ovulate but make sure your doctor monitor you b/c you dont want to develop cysts on your ovaries.

And of course without the health coverage (inbetween jobs) it worries me if this is possible, what's the pricing for Clomid? How exactly does this work? Any advice would be great! This is the 1st time speaking of this and I hope I get some type of feedback! Thanks so much in advance!

Please know that the road to health is long and you must be patient because it take a long time for thyroid drugs to be effective. Starting doses usually must be adjusted at least every 6 weeks until you feel better. If you have gone undiagnosed for a while, your adrenal glands could be fatigued. I am just learning about all of this stuff too. There is a great book you can read to learn what questions to ask and what care you should expect.
