Swaying for pink -Metformin?
Hi Ladies,
I am new to this forum, I have two boys (5 and 2) hoping to get a girl next. I have a mild insulinresistance and I am taking Metformin. I am a petite, 5.2 and 105 lb. I tried loosing weight while on Metformin (pretty easy) and it brought me down to 100lbs within 7 weeks on the GD /LE Diet. Now I went back up because I stopped watching my food intake. I am planning to concieve in January. So if I would start now, that gives me enough time I guess. I am currently taking BCP so I don't know if I will still ovulate if I go lower then 19 BMI. I concieved both boys ( 112lbs) on Vitex( took it both times for 10 days after O- kids are both healthy), Nr. 2 was a failed Shettles attempt (now I don't believe in Shettles anymore- my best friends all concieved girls on O).
My question regarding Metformin is> I keep reading that Bodybuilders use it to define their muscles it actually makes them grow muscles better. I notices since I am taking it ( one year) I grew quite some muscles in my upper arms and legs! When I lost weight my torso got very skinny (boney) - my hips lost a lot fat, but my arms and legs stayed the same. How will I ever be able to loose muscle mass if Metformin keeps it up? :nails: Thanks for your input!
