prometrium AND metformin (GLUCOPHAGE)

[fitzy11]

hi everyone. i am 5 wks pregnant & my OBGYN just prescribed prometrium for low progestrone, and metformin ( the generic form of glucophage), due to my body not processing sugar properly. the prometrium bottle says DO NOT TAKE WHILE PREGNANT. i have read up on this & it seems to be a very common & helpful drug to take during early pregnancy. has anyone taken both, or either 1 alone while pregnant? my 1st pregnancy was a breeze & i hate taking anything during pregnancy. thanks so much.

I took 400mg of prometrium a day and shots every other day for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy.

Yes lot of women with progesterone take prometrium during pregnancy!  I myself took progesterone injections but its about the same thing.  Ive read lots of posts where people were taking glucophage also and it seems to be helpful.
