Metformin?



Has anyone taken metformin to concieve? I have been taking metformin for 2 months. My doctor says that metformin will help me produce an egg so I can become PG. I was just curious what other people may have experienced with this method.
My biggest concern is how soon it works to produce and egg. Is it possible that I already released and egg and am pregnant after only 2 months of the metformin?

(metformin is a diabetic medicine that regualtes insulin levels and also helps women produce the proper hormones to make eggs)

Hello. I have recently found out that I have type II diabetes. As well, I am attempting to train for a half marathon for health reasons. It seems like runners eat a lot of carbs, but as a diabetic I must watch my carb intake.

Does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can find resources to help?

Diabetic #?



I’m not diabetic and neither is anyone in my house, but my mom works in a hospital and always comes home with free-be toys (blood pressure maching, meters, wacky thermometers). I have always wanted to try the diabetic tester meter to see what it would say and I know my mom would let me.

If I’m not diabetic, what # am I looking for? That would mean I’m doing well.

I know the question is strange, but just work with me.

My girlfriend, a type-1 diabetic, was at a miserable job for 3 months waiting to begin health insurance. After putting up with it for that long, she had to quit. Now, most other jobs she has been interviewing at require a 3 month wait until health coverage starts. What can we do to get her health insurance in-between jobs, even though she has a "pre-existing condition"? I am worried about something happening to her in the meantime and we need to get her insured. Short of getting married and adding her to my plan, are there any viable alternatives? Thanks.
