Metformin

Hi guys,

I saw my endocrinologist yesterday and he prescribed me Metformin. He mentioned it should help to regulate my periods since they've never been regular and I can start trying for a baby.

One thing what I didn't ask him was when should I start it. Is it ok to start it straight away, should I wait till the beginning of my next period or it doesn't make any difference?

Also would be nice to hear some of your experiences taking it and trying for a baby.

Yes can take straight away. It can affect your tum so maybe start tomorrow if you are off work just in case you need the loo more than normal. There is a slow release version as well if it doesnt settle.

Not what you're looking for?
