Regarding your medications, Folygel (folic acid) and Fefol (iron/folic acid) are highly beneficial during pregnancy to support your baby?s development, though your doctor will balance their dosages. Glycomet (metformin) is often continued in early pregnancy for PCOS to help reduce miscarriage risks, but this must be carefully managed by your obstetrician. Please do not start any new medications to prevent miscarriage without a prescription. I highly recommend consulting your OB-GYN immediately to tailor a safe, personalized medication plan for you and your baby.

It is completely normal to feel hesitant about starting medication right now. A blood sugar reading of 157 is high, and managing it is very important for your health and your baby's development. Glycomet (metformin) is commonly prescribed during pregnancy to help safely lower blood sugar when diet and exercise aren't quite enough. While it is highly effective and widely used, please discuss your preferences with your doctor. They can help you decide if a brief trial of dietary changes is safe first, or explain why starting metformin now is the safest step for your growing baby.

Fertility specialists often prescribe this medication to help regulate insulin levels, which play a major role in hormonal balance and ovulation?especially in conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Even without diabetes, improving how your body uses insulin can significantly boost your fertility and help you ovulate more regularly. Yes, you should take it as prescribed, but I highly encourage a quick chat with your doctor so they can share how this fits your unique care plan.

Since your fasting levels are high and you previously required insulin (Toujeo and Humalog) and metformin (Glycomet SR), your body likely needs a combination of these treatments again. It is very important to see your doctor or an endocrinologist immediately for a proper evaluation and a personalized prescription.

Metformin is often prescribed for conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In PCOS, the body can experience "insulin resistance," where cells do not respond well to insulin. This can disrupt hormone levels and ovulation. Metformin helps improve insulin sensitivity, even if your blood sugar is normal. When combined with supplements like Mychiro and Ovasital F (which contain inositols), they work together to balance your hormones, support healthy ovarian function, and regulate your menstrual cycle. It is a very common and effective approach to help your body function at its best.

Your upper right belly pain is much more commonly related to issues like gallbladder spasms or gallstones, which are more frequent with obesity and PCOS. Sometimes, kidney stones can also cause radiating discomfort. Your past medications, including Glycomet SR (metformin), Normoz, and Eva Care syrup, are safe and not linked to this pain. I highly recommend consulting your doctor for a simple abdominal ultrasound to check your gallbladder and kidneys.
