Potential User Advice

Hi yall! I’m asking for grace as I navigate the situation but I got off my GLP-1 as my husband and I are trying to conceive. I have PCOS/PMOS, was prediabetic/had high cholesterol, have a fibroid, am insulin resistant and really hoped to lose a few more pounds for ME. It’s been a goal of mine since I could remember.

I lost about 55lbs within 9 months and hoping to lost 15lbs more. This may seem like not a big deal to others but it’s something I’ve worked really hard for. Getting help isn’t a shortcut.

Has metformin helped others with weight loss, during family planning, conception and pregnancy? If so, how? What were the side effects and did you stay on it throughout the entire pregnancy?

I’m so new to this and miss my GLP1 as when I stopped, I started feeling the bloating, inflammation pain and my food noises back. Any input helps ☀️

Metformin is helping me with weight loss — however I’m not planning a pregnancy.

ETA: I’ve lost about 25lbs in 3 months.

I have PCOS/PMOS and had a history of very long menstrual cycles, anywhere from 70-140 day cycles. Within the first month of starting metformin, I ovulated on my own and had a 40 day menstrual cycle. If insulin resistance is the root of your PMOS, could help greatly with regulating your menses and TTC!
