Taking metformin while pregnant
I have been taking metformin 500 mg for the past 1 month, also I have been trying to convince. Currently I am on my 30th day of my cycle and I am pregnant, I have been taking metformin till now.
Should I continue it or stop it as I got pregnant? Is it safe to take metformin during pregnancy?
