Im on metformin for my pcos and doc continued it now in pregnancy too. I noticed im not gaining much weight and got thoda worried. Has anyone else been on it during pregnancy?
Metformin is prescribed to manage insulin levels, which can sometimes result in stable weight or slight loss. Please continue to take it only if your doctor has advised it for your specific health needs.
Hey, don't stress too much about weight changes right now. Metformin is usually prescribed by doctors to manage blood sugar or PCOS, not specifically for weight loss, though it can help control sudden weight gain. Just focus on your health and let your gynac handle the doses!
Haha, I wish there was a magic pregnancy weight-loss pill! But seriously, metformin is for managing insulin, not a diet shortcut. It might keep your weight from shooting up, but definitely let your doctor do the decision-making here.
I was prescribed this during my early weeks and I felt so worried about how it would affect my weight. I felt that it mostly helped in keeping my sugar levels stable rather than causing major weight loss. Always discuss any side effects u feel with your doctor.
When I was dealing with thyroid and insulin issues, my doctor kept a very close eye on my medications. Metformin can sometimes stabilize your weight by managing sugar levels, but please follow up with your doctor regularly. They will tell u exactly how it's affecting your body.
