So I went to see another DR about taking this because I was scared my OB might have just given me a diagnosis and some pills to give me an answer to make me happy.
She confirms what my OB thinks and said this Medicine might be a good thing in getting my next baby to term. She said this med is used for many things. I was concerened with it messing with my blood sugar to much and she said this med won't change it to much if anything I might start feeling better.

She thinks I might be anemic so they tested me for that and I am not sure what else..lol the nurse came in and took about 7 viles of blood.


She had me wait while she called my OB to see what tests they have done. She thinks during my ultrasound where we found out the baby no longer had a heart beat be looked at my ovaries and such while there but waited to tell me what he found until I came in for a follow up because that might not have been the right molment to talk about TTC when hubby and I said at that time I think we are done.

So I feel a ton better that now 2 DRs say I should be on it..... Now I just need to get past the embarasing bathroom issue and bad cramps.

Happy to hear you feel better after talking to your regular doctor. I hope your body adjust to the meds fast. Try to watch what you eat or how much you eat of certain foods. For examp.e I love Cadbury Mini Eggs. I have been eating way to much of them lately. Today the Metformin let me know.

I am holding off until after this weekend because I am going on a road trip to my parents for my Birthday.
What I way to spend my 29th birthday while trying to miscarry and having the runs for the med.... UGH So at least I wont have the runs and if the miscarriage happens i will be with my mommy and she can let me lay in bed all day while she takes care of my 3yr old.

I learned if I was going to do anything on the weekend or travel at all I usually skipped my meds. I am happy you are going to be with your mom this weekend if anything happens this weekend.

My doctor told me it was ok if I skipped a dose but not skipped to many. The only thing about skipping a dose is it can make the side effects wrose when you start back up.

Thats what I figured. Well I will just pray after a couple weeks my body gets used to it.
I have almost nothing planned the next 2 weeks maybe a couple wedding consults so I hope that gives me good time to adjust a tiny bit and learn what upsets its more than others.

I noticed that when I skipped dosages and then started again it made the side effects worse too. I tried to make sure I stayed in it as much as possible and when I had something I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to go to the bathroom I tried sticking with foods that didn't seem to have harsh effects.

I'm glad your doctors are both on board and so on top of things! I hope the Metformin does the trick and you're holding your rainbow baby soon!
