Metformin during pregnancy

[bny807]

Hello! For those of you that have taken metformin during pregnancy, at how many weeks did you discontinue it? also did you just stop it cold turkey or taper it down ( i take it twice a day now and do i just stop or take it once a day for a while?)    I am 33 weeks pregnant, and have had severe morning/all day sickness the entire time, they think stopping the metformin at this point may help.. my dr swares that it wont hurt anything, but after many fertility treatments and mc's i'm Terrified to "rock the boat" and change anything at this point, i'd rather just stay sick, as awful as it is.. for the next 4 weeks (but dr is afraid my body is getting tired of being so sick). Any previous experiences help GREATLY apprecited! thanks so much!

I stopped taking it when I was about 8 weeks pregnant. I tapered down! You should take one tomorrow and for the next three days. Then you can stop taking it altogether.
