I had my Dr. appt last Monday and I told her I did not feel comfortable going off Met. I explained to her that the reason I was on it to begin with (as I am not diabetic) is because my hormones were all out of whack- met has helped tremendously with keeping me level. They suspect I am insulin resistant as well.

She said she was fine with that, I could stay on it all the way thru or if I decided I wanted to lower it or go off at some point, I could do that also.

The same day I met with my endocronologist and told her about this and she was also fine with it. She said she does have patients that tried to go off as well, but many realized they did not feel right being off it and felt inbalanced. I take mine at the same times approx each day- if I get too far off from either time, I feel the difference.

So, for now, I'm staying on. The NT ultrasound I took later that same day showed our baby actually growing quite well- even ahead of schedule a bit and things look good.

Good luck to you all. I really believe it is a personal decision.
