I'm on Metformin for PCOS and am currently 8 weeks pregnant. I'm on it nearly a year, and upped to 1000mg twice a day since April. I had been tolerating it fairly well, with the odd upset stomach if i ate something too fatty. but in the last 3-4 weeks i've had awful diarrhea. My diet hasnt changed really, which would normally be a trigger for me. I was told to stay on it for the pregnancy, but can't see how all the stomach issues can be good for baby or me! Has anyone else experienced this? I've booked an appt with gp later this week as booking appt isnt til 14-16 wks.
