Metformin

Okay ladies who have taken metformin. I took my first pill today with food & then I just ate again about an hour ago & im so nauseous & I’m crapping my brains out (sorry for the tmi but I don’t know how else to put it 🤷🏼‍♀️) I didn’t think the side affects would kick in this fast. The doctor told me I’d be nauseous & stomach would probably be messed up the first couple of days but if it didn’t straighten out within like a week of starting it & a week of upping my dosage to stop & go back down. Should I just take a half a pill tomorrow? Should I skip taking it during Christmas because I’ll be eating so much 🤣 I just don’t wanna be miserable & not be able to get out of the bathroom during Christmas time 😕 also did this help you conceive or regulate periods & ovulation? If so how long did it take? Any advice welcome!
