Metformin stomach issues

Sarah • IVF success! Boy Mum 01.07.2020🤱🏼

So I’ve been on Metformin for about 2 months. I freaking hate this medication. I’m taking it to regulate my periods so we can conceive but this medication is the devil!! It just ruins my stomach. I have constant stomach aches, diarrhea and ZERO appetite. I eat such tiny portions (which I will benefit from in the long run lol). But the stomachs aches and cramps are insane! I’ve been taking pepto bismol to help with my stomach issues and it’s helping a little bit.

Any advice that you ladies have for the stomach issues I’m having?
