Sorry Ellie,
When taking your Metformin, MAKE SURE NOT TO TAKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. It will make you sick. I took 500mg and it took me about 2 weeks to get used to it. It will have you feeling nauseated at first and mess with your bowel movement as well. He sure did put you on a high dose for a first time around, that's unheard of. Usually they start you off with 250 or 500mg...
I hope the best for you...
Comet,
Welcome. MsBee could answer that question better b/c I never had my lining checked before pregnancy. my doctor did not monitor me like that so I wouldn't know.
