Tymeg That's about 5.75kg. I've been on Metformin for the last five or so years. I've alternated between 1000mg per day and 1500mg per day. I was on 1000mg per day when I became pregnant and stayed on that for the first 12 weeks, cutting down to 500mg per day for a week and then coming off it altogether. It can give you really bad GI problems when you first start taking it or when you increase your dose. I was pretty sick for the first two months that I started taking it.
Krissie I know that I really should avoid wheat, and I did used to try to avoid it before I was pregnant, but I just love it so much! Am having toast for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch most days and pasta a few times a week. I'm sure that's not helping with my weight gain. Will try to cut back a bit (she says as she's about to go off and make a sausage sandwich as a special Sunday morning treat
.)
