What dose ?

How was it and how did your babies turn out ? Was their glucose level low at birth.
any issue with hair colour as Metformin can inhibit enzyme linked to melatonin production and make some babies born with albino hair ?

Metformin is safe in pregnancy. I don't know where you read that albino thing. My little fella was fine on 1g twice a day

uncontrolled blood sugars are really bad for babies. Please follow advice you are given

I didn’t have diabetes just suspected PCOS and high testosterone
metformin made me lose 12kg in around 3 months which is a ridiculous weight loss
doc said to continue it in first trimester as it prevents some issues.
