Glycomet 1 g and Glycomet SR 1 g both contain metformin, but the difference lies in how the medicine is released in the body. Glycomet 1 g is the immediate‑release form, usually taken in divided doses, while Glycomet SR 1 g is the sustained‑release form, designed for once‑daily use. They are not interchangeable without medical advice because their dosing schedules and tolerability differ.

You are currently taking progesterone, this hormone actively supports your uterine lining and will naturally prevent your period from starting. If you are not pregnant, your period will typically arrive a few days after you stop taking the progesterone. Additionally, it might simply be too early for a pregnancy test to detect a result. I gently encourage you to consult your fertility specialist to confirm the exact day to take a blood pregnancy test and discuss the next steps for your Glycomet and Biopreg regimen.

Mucormycosis, or black fungus, typically develops within a few days to a few weeks (often 1 to 4 weeks) after steroid use, particularly if blood sugar levels remain high. Please be reassured that by actively managing your blood sugar with your prescribed medications, Glycomet-GP2 (glimepiride/metformin) and Janumet (sitagliptin/metformin), you are significantly lowering this risk. Keeping your blood glucose in a stable, healthy range is the most powerful protection against this infection. Focus on taking your medications as directed and monitoring your sugar levels. If you experience any unusual facial pain, nasal congestion, or headache, please consult your doctor promptly.

Generally, doing 16:8 intermittent fasting while taking Glycomet SR 500 (metformin) is relatively safe, as metformin has a low risk of causing dangerously low blood sugar. However, since you take it twice a day, you will need to carefully align your doses with your 8-hour eating window to avoid stomach upset. Because you also manage a thyroid condition, which heavily influences your metabolism, it is incredibly important to discuss this plan with your doctor first. They can help monitor your thyroid levels and safely adjust your medication schedule to fit your new routine.

Since you haven't had a cycle since January, it is very important to consult your gynecologist. They can prescribe a short course of progesterone to safely bring back your period. Since your metformin (Glycomet) may need adjustment, your doctor can also discuss ovulation-inducing options to help you get pregnant. Please don't lose heart; with the right medical guidance and personalized care, many women with PCOD successfully conceive.

Your bloating could indeed be related to Glycomet SR (metformin), as digestive changes are common with this medication. While metformin doesn't typically cause sharp pain, your polycystic ovary condition (PCOD) can sometimes contribute to pelvic discomfort. Sharp pain during urination and bowel movements, along with chronic constipation, are classic signs that could point to painful bladder syndrome or pelvic floor issues. I highly recommend speaking with your doctor or a gynecologist. They can safely determine the exact cause of your symptoms and help you find relief.
