Hi there! Not really familiar with exactly what your situation is but I was given metformin for polycystic ovarian syndrome and it not only helped my periods become more regular but I got pg. while on it 4 times. I have other conditions that unfortunatly caused 3 of those 4 pregnancies to end in miscarriage, but I have a healthy 5 year old little boy that I know I wouldn't have had without taking the metformin.
It can be real hard on your digestive system for the first few weeks, but thats pretty common. I would ask your Dr about polysystic ovaries, maybe thats why you were prescribed it? BTW- I chose to stay on it after I got a positive tests even though some drs don't reccomend that. Hope this helps in some way. Look up PCOS , theres alot of interesting articles about it on the net even though it's not a really well known condition.
