Can i take metformin????

Ok so I used to be pretty active in this forum before and after my band. I'm doing well and going on about 2 1/2 years of being banded. I've lost 63 lbs, im sure my profile says something different as I have haven't updated Ina while. But anyway, my husband and I have been desperately trying to have a baby and just started seeing a fertility specialist, who determined that I'm insulin resistant, which is affecting the quality of my eggs. He Rx'd metformin. Well I just picked them up and they are HUGE! The pharmacist said that there is no liquid form and its extended release so I can't break it up. They seem pretty chalky which usually means it'll dissolve quickly but I'm concerned it will get stuck. Anyone take this without any problems?

Your body is going to go through so many changes. Your primary care provider should be following you at least every three months to monitor the changes and adjust your meds as necessary. I had lots going on with my blood pressure until I went totally off it.

I'm taking it for fertility issues, as I have insulin resistance and it affects your eggs. I do nit have pcos or diabetes. I've found a pharmacy that can get the liquid form, which is Riomet, and ill start it on Monday. My first pharmacy said it was unavailable do I thought it was off the market but I guess that's not the case. Thanks all for your input!
