I'm meeting with my doc on Thurs! I think it will be time for me to come off Met. I have done a CRAZY amount of medical research on metformin and pregnancy on my own and the results are very mixed. The few studies that do support use of metformin througout pregnancy aren't well done studies. There was one study that showed that metformin use caused an increase risk for pre-eclampsia but then another study that contradicted the first. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh.....what a pain! There are no black and white answers on this one!

However, it does seem that current evidence supports that there is no risk to the baby for a mom to continue met through the whole pregnancy. They recently did a follow-up study looking at 18 month old infants who were born to metformin moms. All are doing well.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well off Met...soon to join the club.
