TTC metformin symptoms

[Mrswilliams1982]

Hi all, iv been put on metformin 500mg twice a day to help with ovulation to conceive but it's making me feel so nauseated all the time, I feel sick before I eat, after I eat when I wake up. I know it's for the greater good but can anyone shed any light on how long these symptoms will last?

I took metformin for two years when ttc. I found taking it with food hugely cut down the nausea. It took a few weeks for my body to adjust though. If that doesnt work, there is an alternative slow release version that is more gentle on the stomach.

Hi when are you taking the tablets xxxx

Good luck with your ttc journey! Ours ended with 3 cycles of letrozole and currently feeding my 10 week old as we speak :)

I've been taking one in the morning with breakfast and then one at bedtime, I feel so sick I cant work out if I'm full or hungry #confused

I have to have slow release due to diarrhoea

I been on the 3 years and my ivf nurse said take both tablets at night when you had all your food they easier on your tummy. I did that and have been fine for 3 years . I am also pregnant off my second ivf so good luck xxxx

Thanks for that, that's somewhat reassuring, I'll take tonight's as normal and then take the two tomorrow night 🤞🤞xx

Still not feeling any better, back in work next week and really don't want to still be feeling like this, I can't go back to my docs as I bought them via an online pharmacy as I'm still waiting for my referral 😢😢
