I have missed my period and have been takeing pregnancy tests because I am experiencing symptoms like sore breasts, cramps and light headachesand etc.. I am also taking glucosane or metformin which was prescribes to me form my doctor 3 months ago. Will this medication affect my testing or what is going on. I have never felt these symptoms ever even before I get a period. Please help I just want answers into what I should or what is going on. I have been also trying to get pregnant since December.

Thank you

I don't know what those rx drugs will do. Your best bet would be to get a blood test from your dr.

I don't know much about the medications you are taking. They are for low blood sugar, right? I searched around on the web a bit and found this. "Some people have developed a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis while taking metformin. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these symptoms of lactic acidosis: weakness, increasing sleepiness, slow heart rate, cold feeling, muscle pain, shortness of breath, stomach pain, feeling light-headed, and fainting." and " Stop using metformin and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
swelling or rapid weight gain; or
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms.

Other less serious side effects may be more likely to occur, such as:
headache or muscle pain;
weakness; or mild nausesa, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, stomach pain.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome." Metformin Information from Drugs.com (http://www.drugs.com/metformin.html)

Do you have any of these? Either way, it is wise to get in contact with your doctor and tell them your symptoms and see what they have to say about it. It could be that it is the medication causing these side effects, or it could be something else. It could be that you are pregnant. I am guessing that the tests you took have all been negative so far? Again, it would be wise to talk with your doctor asap, as if you are pregnant, you may need to change your prescription or the dosage, etc. Good luck, and let us know how things go with your doctor.
