Can Metforal Be Taken While Trying To Conceive?

Hello. I m a 30 year old female, had underactive thyroid for more than 10 years. Recently I ve been put on on Metforal tablets to help me cope with water retention in the body (constant legs, feet, hands swelling) etc. I want to know if it is safe to take them if I am trying to conceive? Are these tablets safe to take before and during pregnancy? Should I take them or skip them until I get pregnant and have a baby? Thank you.

Hello,

Metformin is used before getting pregnant. It is not used during pregnancy and it is not allowed.
