Metformin - 4th transfer
Hi all, I'm back ahead of my 4th transfer. 2 unsuccessful, 1 ending in MMC after 9 weeks (Heartbeat seen, all going well, other than bleeding). I have also had one previous natural miscarriage. I have been found to have insulin resistance following a blood test and have been prescribed Metformin.

Neuroprotective effect of rapamycin against Parkinson's disease in mice - 2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30693687/
Conclusions: Rapamycin inhibits the activation of mTOR pathway, which contributes to protect against the loss of dopaminergic neurons and provide behavioral improvements in mice with Parkinson's disease. These results are partially related to the ability of rapamycin in inducing autophagy and reducing

Metformin
I am on the maximum dose of Metformin. I find the laxative, breathing and shivering side-effects to be debilitating. My diabetes nurse is unwilling to change to an alternative so I have booked to see my GP. She said I wasn't drinking enough water but I am drinking 3 pints a day. I am just flushing it

New member looking for advice
EDIT 2: Found New blood test where TSH is now up to 5.63 (only 3 months distance from previous test which showed 4.5!) FT4 was 16 however which is within range. But also showed MCH, MCHC and MCV borderline which could be related to iron deficient anaemia apparently. Test pic below. EDIT: oh wow! This
