metformin miscarriage

I also read that metformin reduces the risk of miscarriage, but my dr considered to take me off of it. I've been taking it for about 2 years before that. I am tomorrow week 38 and the baby is healthy, so it probably depends on everybody's special case whether to keep taking it throughout the pregnancy or not. I have been more closely monitored by my dr from the beginning of the pregnancy. It's best to let the dr decide.

Hey ladies i just started Metformin today! can i get some stories of bfps using it? or just you experience on it?

No, the rate decrease if your taking metformin. I also have PCOS and I had a miscarriage in October..every since then I haven't had a period or ovulate on my own so my doctor put me on provera, metformin, and letrozole(femara) to get pregnant but the metformin alone will help you NOT to have a miscarriage...good luck to you sweetie. I think you should ask your doctor about taking metformin, it corrects PCOS also...

Hi Ladies I posted a few days ago about metformin and side effects. well now I am wondering if taking metformin in the morning or night was better for you.? I took it once in the afternoon and I got really sleepy and slept for about 30 min and then got up and was fine. has anyone else have this happen tot hem? and if i took it at night does it mess with the difference to work.,sry if i just sounded crazy. but not sure how to put it. and I get little headache when i take it..is this normal?

Everything I have read on the issue says that taking Metformin while you are pregnant can help with early miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and a whole list of other problems that could possibly arise. I could really use a second opinion! Thanks!

PLEASE DO NOT STOP METFORMIN WHEN YOU GET PREGNANT!!! I am living proof and suffered a miscarriage because I listened to my doctor and stopped. I was taking metformin up to 5 weeks and lost my baby right before I hit the 8th week. You need to continue taking metformin until the baby is not dependent on your hormones anymore and they are depending fully on the hormones from the formed placenta...that is usually after the 12th week.

It helps regulate menstrual cycles, start ovulation, and lower the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS. Metformin can also help in regularizing menstrual cycles and starting ovulation in about 40-45% of women with PCOS.It may be more effective when taken with Clomiphene .Do consult your gynecologist for more queries. Please keep me posted. Best regards!

On the times you got pregnant, were you still taking Metformin? It is known that women with PCOS who take Metformin up until the 20th week reduces the chances of miscarriage. Have you spoken to your doctor about why you keep having a miscarrige?

hi everyone,ive been trying for a baby for 5 years now,my fertility nurse as put me on 500mg of metformin,she said i should get pregnant on these,as anyone concieved on metformin alone.

t already they can see why you are having so many miscarriages and do things to try and prevent them. Clomid will not prevent miscarriage it only helps you ovulate. Also ask about Metformin for the pcos its a common drug the the RE will put you on.

Congrats on the pregnancy! I hope everything goes well for you! I am 9 weeks pregnant finally after 4 yrs of trying following a miscarriage. I also got pregnant with the help of Metformin! Glad I've made it this far, but worrying everyday about miscarriage...having my first u/s in two weeks!

I'm only on my 5 cycle of metformin, it had fixed my insulin resistance. my blood sugar is lower too and I ovulate. My doctor is sure it is just a matter of time before I get pregnant on my own again.

Hi. I can't say for sure that losing the weight will make you respond better to the meds, but losing weight with PCOS is a good thing since most doctors believe that fertility will be increased with weight loss. I lost weight and got pregnant after taking metformin sporadically (side effects were awful). I wasn't even trying to get pregnant then. Unfortunately, that pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage.

I been diganosed with pcos, me and my partner been trying for baby and twice i had a miscarriage, now they gven me metformin, just woundered how long the metformin takes to bring my periods back so i get one every month?

Has anyone taken metformin while pregnant? I am currently on metformin but my doctor told me to stop taking them at 9 weeks, but I am scared to bc I dont want to have a miscarriage. Any thoughts on what I should do?

I am on metformin which helps to reduce miscarriage rate as it controls insulin levels. My first three pregnancies ended in miscarriage- 4 th one started metformin and finally had a gorgeous little girl( although she was premature probably from all the miscarriages). This time on metformin again , vitamin d( we pcos women tend to have low vitamin d), progesterone, fish oil, folic acid 5 mg and prenatals. Also doing acupuncture once a week, anyone on metformin?

My doctor told me to stop taking the medication and within two weeks I miscarried. I later found out off my fetility Dr that metformin reduces the risk of miscarriage. This January I started metformin again, one week in I had a very strange period with no sypmtoms which lasted a full week it's only been 12 days since that one finished and Iv got another period, again with no sypmtoms. It's driving me mad, I don't see my dr until end of March. Anybody know what's happening.

Do NOT stop taking your metformin. The risk of miscarriage increases if you stop taking it. Keep taking it until you talk to your doctor!

Hi I am 17 and I am on metformin. The side effects of the Metformin isn't bad. You do have to go to the restroom alot but thats how you can loose waight. If you get pregnant it wont hurt the baby but metformin can go threw the milk well thats what I read. You would need to talk to your doctor if you want to breast feed. What that pill does is that it reduces the surgures on the foods you eat. Just start slow. Start with 1 for a pill for a week and then 2 ang just go on.

And i am hearing a lot about Metformin. in which case do they prescribe metformin as my fasting sugar levels are normal though not tested for insulin resistance.

I have pcos as well and suffered a miscarriage I n Dec. At 4 weeks. I started taking metformin 2 months ago and I am now 6 weeks pregnant and feel great. They give metformin to people who have pcos or are diabetic. It's a miracle drug I swear because I was trying for 2 years . I hope you get your bfp.

I have pcos. Started on metformin on september 2013. And got pregnant same month but had a miscarriage... well but now at least i have a normal period and i ovulate regularly. I also lost 15 lbs since meformins helps with that and i feel great. If i dont get pregnant in 3 months i will try clomid.

I have PCOS and I've taken metformin throughout my entire pregnancy.

I am also diabetic and i was put on metformin my cycles were also irregular i have been on metformin for 5mths and now my cycles are regular i got pregnant last mnth but had a miscarriage so yes it is very possible im hopin me and my hubby concieve after this cycle so good luck and baby dust to you hun!!

Metformin helps regulate insulin levels so that the person can regulate their period and help with ovulation which is difficult in women with PCOS or even impossible for some without help with medicine. Metformin also helps a woman with PCOS have less of a risk for miscarriage (which is common with PCOS) especially if taken during the first trimester. Some woman cannot be helped with Metformin alone or it may not help at all. Clomid is often used with or without Metformin with women with PCOS.

Hi Ladies I just have as question about metformin whats the side effects some of you may have had? I start to take metformin today so maybe this will bring on my period. I had a natural m.c in nov 2008 and no AF as of yet. has anyone got PG on this alone.
