  1. I take Metformin ER for about 1 year now. It is definitely regulating my period, but the painful cramps and heavy bleeding are still an issue though diminished. I'm not sure that I'd recommend it, as I still have issues with anemia. And as I haven't been sleeved yet, it's starting to bite me in the butt. The date might get pushed off if it isn't under control.
  2. I wonder how your doctors have handled your anemia. I'm having some issues with my Iron levels and am afraid my July 15th date might get postponed. After hearing so many IUD horror stories, I decided along with my husband not to have that inserted. Did you also increase your iron and B Vitamin intakes? Thanks for your help!
