[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1503506, member: 196960"] I take metformin and lansoprazol but more for gerd symptoms. I know of those who have far worse stomach problem who can tolerate metformin. Maybe medics could think it through more. I cannot tolerate all other meds except insulin but my friend who had bariatric surgery 2yrs ago said you start tolerating things you couldnt and vice versa. Foods especially. I feel metformin isn't given the praise it deserves. No one will be able to convince me that metformin isn't a wonder drug for infertility due to obesity and pcos. I spoke to a few expecting mothers whilst having my 2 children and many have fallen whilst taking metformin. Maybe the nhs are panicking as big women are carrying babies, more than before. They need stronger, bigger bed in the delivery suites. I'm not unsympathetic to the cost of maternity on the nhs mind you. Next we'll be shamed into not using maternity as its costing nhs too much money. The look on the 2 consultants faces at my first baby delivery was priceless. They knew how many thousands I'd spent on ivf and other private fertility treatment in 10yrs. My baby was delivered perfectly healthy without a c-section too. Thankyou Metformin! :) [/QUOTE]
