PCOS and pregnant

Posted , 3 users are following.

Well i have PCOS and i had a miscarriage 2 months ago. So i decided the next time if it happens it will be planned and i will start charting and everything and here i am 5 weeks and 4 days. This have definately been a journey. I take metformin 500mg 3 times a day and i am afraid if i jump of it that my body will not respond well and i will lose the baby. I went to the doctor and she wanted to take me off and i said no im not going to do that. Anyway i asked for my progesterones levels to be checked and she thought it wasn't necessary cause i shouldn't get wrapped in the numbers of my hcg or progesterones levels, i told her i insist since that was the reason i miscarried last time. Anyway have anyone experience this

    Hi again I had my doctors appointment today and my doctor told me to stay on my metformin because it helps prevent miscarrige and diabetes. I am now 9 weeks and have a strong heart beat. This baby is truly a blessing for me and I just wish you the best with your pregnancy
