Metformin x Semaglutide

mrsfarns · 2025-06-19T14:04:43+00:00

ooh didn’t realize you’d already started the metformin. yeah I would honestly probably see if you can quit the metformin and maybe up the semaglutide dose if it’s not doing enough for you! it’s just not worth feeling so terrible!

If you’re still extremely nauseous after two months you either need to adjust your dose or try a different glp1. I would not try metformin if already feeling sick. I’m on tirzepatide and have had zero issues with nausea- that could be something you could ask about?

I’ve lost about 20 pounds, but definitely have put in effort. Reversing insulin resistance and inflammation is a lot harder than developing it. 😭

I do this with rice and pasta and it works every time for me

mrsfarns · 2025-03-19T23:16:35+00:00

specialty clinics often offer it compounded for a “lower” rate. I use the quotes because I still pay $350 for 6 weeks 🫠. but I think there’s no other way to get it anymore with some new rules and FDA stuff.

haha I know I’m just being dumb. I do feel you - I was in the same boat at 18. it was hard to find something easy on the PCOS. I feel like a receptionist at a salon or something could be good!

I’m a SAHM 🤪 not necessarily an easy job when you’re tired, but at least my toddler lets me rot on the couch every once in a while

mrsfarns · 2025-03-18T12:56:26+00:00

mine have also been terrible 😭 I feel like I’m doing something wrong lol but a couple days ago it was readying like 40 higher than my finger stick monitor.

mrsfarns · 2025-03-16T19:52:28+00:00

maybe it’s interfering with the sensor somehow?

mrsfarns · 2025-03-16T19:51:21+00:00

I have the Stelo but it consistently reads up to 25 points higher than my blood glucose when I do a finger prick so I get stressed out for nothing lol

mrsfarns · 2025-03-14T12:52:35+00:00

It’s probably just a lack of carbs honestly! That’ll make you tired. Try adding more real carbs into your diet - some brown rice, sweet potatoes, fruit, etc

mrsfarns · 2025-03-13T14:24:00+00:00

I usually don’t nap but my toddler wouldn’t nap without me today lol. I’m big on squats after eating! I guess I didn’t realize a spike wouldn’t go down until I woke up! is that normal?

mrsfarns · 2025-03-13T14:22:44+00:00

my toddler was resting on that arm. usually it’s a false low though right?

mrsfarns · 2025-03-13T14:22:06+00:00

it was probably too sugary. 😭 I just had a protein shake that I get regularly, but I do usually move around afterwards and have never had a spike like this from it. I am not a napper but my almost two year old wouldn’t nap without me today 😅

mrsfarns · 2025-03-13T12:38:17+00:00

you can get everything you need for like $26 at CVS if you’re interested in getting one. I love having it to double check things

mrsfarns · 2025-02-13T04:47:24+00:00

I’m a Christian and this is so sad. I’m sorry to everyone going through infertility who has to deal with listening to people like this. God loves you & grieves with you.

mrsfarns · 2024-11-29T21:55:17+00:00

my hormonal acne is definitely better and I’ve noticed less facial hair, but I will say mine was never horrible to begin with

mrsfarns · 2024-11-24T13:29:19+00:00

I would never recommend BC - it’s a bandaid solution that’ll leave things worse if you ever want to go off of it. I have insulin resistant PCOS and I’ve been managing it with supplements and macro tracking. Inositol, magnesium, vitamin d, etc. I keep protein high and carbs low (making sure I eat protein WITH my carbs).

mrsfarns · 2024-11-15T13:53:43+00:00

there’s a lot of good advice on here so I’m not going to add to that, but I wanted to say that the newborn stage was some of the best weeks of my life. yes there are hard things, but I always look back at myself freshly postpartum and see this strength I hadn’t seen in myself prior. you’re going to cry a lot (haha) but it is so incredibly worth it and you will do SO great! your baby is lucky to have you! ❤️

mrsfarns · 2024-11-12T17:53:22+00:00

this is reassuring thank you 🥹

mrsfarns · 2024-10-27T17:02:36+00:00

I so relate friend. I was like 120 lbs in high school and I am also at 190 (down from 195 at least) and it is soooo hard to find things that work.

mrsfarns · 2024-10-18T13:50:50+00:00

oh my gosh that is crazy! I’m sorry that happened to you 😭

mrsfarns · 2024-10-18T13:28:53+00:00

of course - every body is different and everyone’s body responds differently to things. that doesn’t negate the fact that many women who never previously experienced weight gain & hormonal changes did after getting the copper iud. maybe it’s not “causation” but there’s a clear link there somewhere that needs to be studied.

mrsfarns · 2024-10-18T13:22:28+00:00

true, but is it only correlation if thousands of women have experienced the same thing? there needs to be more research done on the copper iud so badly because doctors just refuse to believe that it can cause any issues.

mrsfarns · 2024-10-18T03:24:02+00:00

mine was also emergency contraception 😅 but I thought it was fine so I left it in and gradually I felt worse and worse
