I really do not know what to do I feel torn my doctor's appointment was great until we started talking about me being high risk my doctor wants me off of the metformin now right not but I feel like if I did that I would lose this baby and I voiced that to her on my ultrasound the cyst that I have is a corpus luteum cyst which is normal and there to help support the baby and it's on the left side because that is the side that the egg came from I really think my right ovary isn't working I never ovulate from that side and every cyst that I have ever had has always been on the left side I going to have to look in to that but back on topic so it is a really good sign that the that cyst is there so she asked me why do you want to take the metformin I told her because of everything that I have study and read and people that I have talked to and the main reason why fix what's not broken I want this baby I do not want to get to this point and lose it so then she told me that she wants me off of the metformin and she is putting me on progesterone suppositories to help support the pregnancy until I'm nine weeks and the the placenta(did I spell that right) will take over on it own so then I let her know that I read the placenta doesn't take over until 12 weeks and that I wanted to take the metformin until I was 14 weeks and she said no take the progesterone and see me in two weeks and we will go from there when I ad my blood work done my progesterone was not low but if I stop the metformin now there is a great chances that it would drop I do know that for a fact but that is not the only thing the metformin is helping I really do not know what to do one a good note my terrible morning sickness my broke out face and my sore boobs are all good sign she said and the fact of a good heartbeat that this is a healthy pregnancy I have lost nine pounds and with the last baby I lost 17 pounds so her only thing with that was that I have to try to eat more and she let me know that this will all pass soon enough she also put my on a new prenantal vitamin to help with the morning sickness but she said that everything looked great so I feel like why try to fix what's not broken and check this out the last thing she said to robert and I as we walked out the door don't tell me you are going to stop taking that metformin and keep taking and we both agreed what am I going to do and Robert was there for the whole thing with the last pregnancy he only went o the ultrasound but with this pregnancy he wants to be more active and to tell you the thruth it was really nice having him in there with me he really made me feel at ease I love him so much so now I have a big choice to make I didn't sleep at all last night as you can see it is 6:15am and I up on my vacation instead of sleeping I'm just so worried it really hit me when I was leaving the doctor offices how much I want this baby I have been trying not to get so close to the pregnancy in fear of losing it but it's to late I love this baby and I will do any to get my little boo boo here safe even if I have to find a new doctor.

Why does the MD want you to stop it?
Is there side effects?
You can get second opinion
Ask another OB ......
I understand that fear....but you have to have faith ......
