Metformin Question - preg ment'd

tdg119 · 07-13-2009, 09:37 AM

At what point after your BFP were you put back on Metformin?

I'm between 2nd beta and 1st U/S and am surprised NP hasn't mentioned it yet, though I am still on Estrace & progesterone suppositories.
Not sure if I need to call and ask about it.

I was on metformin from before I got my BFP until week 13. The RE said I could stop around week 10, but I slowly weaned myself off of it and was completely done with it by week 13.

Congrats on your BFP!

I stayed on met til 12 weeks . Then had to stop because the size of pill was making me gag and I wasn't holding it down anymore . I'm just past 16 weeks now .

I had taken myself off met and given up on getting pg . So when I found out I was pg , I started met again on my own right away . I knew my OB didn't have a clue lol ... So I restarted my met at 6w1d . As I said , stayed on it until 12w . No problems .

Hey there!! I was on Metformin until 13 weeks. Was told to stop cold turkey at 13 weeks but didn't feel comfortable doing that. I weaned myself and was totally off of it by 15 weeks!! I am always curious as to what other Drs. do though, let us know what yours tells you!
