taking metformin with milk

i was at a party and a girl who had recently became a mother, put breastmilk on her finger and put it in my mouth, I have read that enzymes and stomach acid would kill the virus, but I am on anti-depressants, tablets that reduce stomach acid and metformin for type 2 diabetes, would I still have the neccesary enzymes and stomach acid to kill the virus taking into consideration my medical conditions, I also do not know her HIV status do not know a lot about her

Are there contraindications of taking Milk Thistle capsules and Metformin (for diabetes) tablet at the same time?

I am taking 1500mg, 500mgs 3xs a day. Always with food or milk. Did your DR prescribe folic acid with that. I'm taking 4 - 1mg tabs aday. When I was taking it in the morning with the Metformin I would feel sicker. I started taking th folic acid with my metformin at night with dinner and would feel sick.

I always take it in the middle of a meal (breakfast lunch and dinner) OR with milk. This helps to decrease the side effects. It does make you a little gassy....especially for me if I take it when I only ate a really light meal. I was only on it for four months during which I had regular periods which I have never had since I was 19 years old and am 30 now. And after these four months was pregnant. So give it a chance to work for you.

My fingers are so numb, and my urine is dark yellow and opaque. Yesterday and today I stopped taking Metformin I feel better; however, but my blood sugar in the morning was measured 143 and 242 after I ate dinner. Please give me an advice about my situation. Thank you very much .

You may be experiencing the side affects of the metformin. I recently had to stop taking the metformin and see an endocrinologist. Also metformin makes you gain weight, not lose it.

I was recently told I needed to take invokana mixed with metformin and insulin. I had not been taking my metformin like I should so my readings were a bit high. But now that I'm regularly taking my meds, I'd like to know who is also and what keeps them within range. Avg bs 170s.

Well are you on Metformin for diabetes or PCOS? Not that it matters, but just wondering. I take 1000mg of Metformin a day. Metformin will upset your stomach, cause diarrhea, etc. but that only lasts a couple weeks. I'm currently in my 2nd month of taking Metformin and I'm taking a pregnancy test at the end of the week! Did your doctor not explain the side effects? Upset stomach is a normal side effect. Check out soulcysters (dot) net and click on their Metformin forum.

We are almost 33 weeks pregnant currently, and i have been taking metformin the entire pregnancy- usually they take you off the metformin at around 12 weeks or so.. studies show that continuing the metformin when you have insulin resistance or PCOS does decrease your chances of miscarraiage. however i believe the studies show that coming off at 12 weeks is good, the benefits of it are done with at that time..

I started Clomid in 2009 after my M/C with no luck. Then I got on Metformin in May 2010. I have lost 50+ lbs, with Metformin. In Aug. I was given Femara, and havent had AF since then. I have taken 2 HPT and both have some back negitive. Yesterday 11/30, I took my Provera so we can jumpstart my AF, and hopfully take either Clomid or Femara. With Clomid 150mg I didn't have any side effects and With 100mg of Clomid, I was a total wrack! Femara 7mg, I was fine.

I am not taking any extra precautions. I did IVF with both of them.. Am taking progesterone, estrogen, prenatals, metformin, and baby aspirin. The metformin and baby aspirin is suppose to help with the miscarriage risk.

I am taking 500 mg of metformin but she said she may up the dose once I get used to it. She warned me that it could upset me stomach and cause a lot of running to the bathroom....and OMG it did! When you had your IUD do you remember ever losing your sex drive? I'm sorry that's so personal but I have notices a huge difference in my sex drive about 3 weeks after having it inserted. Did you use anything to help you get pregnant?

I became pregnant the third month of taking it (with two m/c prior) my son is now almost 8 months and im currently 3 months pregnant! I got back on metformin about 2 months after he was born! Its been my lifesaver! Allowing me to loose weight and become a mother! Good luck! Side affects can be Soooo not fun, but stick it out and you will not be sorry!

I have pcos. In going to start taking metformin which I was told has helped many women conceive. Periods have been regular but got onto birth control, the pill, to keep it regulating. Will I be successful in conceiving our child/ren with metformin and after I get off birth control?

Our community members can provide advice from their own experience with Metformin, but we always recommend checking with a physician before making changes to any drug regimen. Thanks!

hi again, i didnt realize that you have pcos but anyways im trying to get pregnant also and my dr gave me metformin 1500mg a day and for my understanding it helps balance out your hormone so that you can start having regulated periods and once that happens you'll start to ovulate but some women take metformin along with clomid i haven't started that yet i want to see if i can get pregnant with out the clomid i've only been on metformin for a month now ,but if your dr perscribe it f

Is that somewhat a good sign? And could metformin alone possibly help me ovulate? Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate any advice and support from others who also have PCOS. Id also like to hear your story so please share your story.

Metformin was a nightmare for me at first: I started with 500mg a day for a coupole of weeks, then 1000mg for a couple of weeks, and finally up to 1500. Initially I tried to increase after just a few days at each level, and this made me dreadfully ill. And I mean--DREADFULLY nauseous, dizzy, tired. If you search under "Metformin" on this site you will probably see when I posted the same question.

Other people have mentioned taking it after you eat, not with your food, or before. But, with pcos, the metformin could help everything to stabilize enough so that you could ovulate on your own.
