started metformin tuesday and by thursday morning my stomach was nauseous. not like dramatic puking, just this constant queasy feeling that made coffee sound terrible. by day 5 it’s still sitting there.
i know i need this because the insulin resistance has been blocking my cycles. endocrinologist was clear: the anovulation and androgens won’t budge without fixing insulin first. so staying on it, but trying to figure out if this is just week-one payoff or if the dose is actually too much.
logging everything about when it hits, what makes it worse, food timing. tracking the pattern is the only way my doc actually sees what’s happening instead of me just saying “my stomach feels bad.” noticed the worst nausea is about two hours after eating, so maybe spacing things differently helps. does it settle down after the first week or two, or is this the new normal?
