BabyandBump - Pregnancy, Trying to conceive, Baby & Parenting Forum

As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details. Wobbles (oxsarahxo cannot see this message - Please do not discuss this on the forum)

My Fertility doctor mentioned high insulin effecting ovulation. That is why he gave me glucose blood test.

Your insulin could effect your fertility and I would take your Met. I can't speak for everyone,but the side effects of the metformin only lasted a few weeks for me. Just make sure that you take it with food.

Hi Faye, I'm also insulin dependant diabetic, when you say high insulin levels do you mean the amount of insulin you are on?? I have never heard that being a diabetic can affect fertility. I know that its a high chance of complications but thats all? If your doc has gave you metformin then i personally would take them Good luck ttc, PM me if you need a chat xx
