Doctor: HiMetformin does not affect your fertility in any way. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as cramps,diarrhoea,bloating are common with the drug.Fatigue,low blood sugar,vitamin b12 deficiency are the other side effects of the drug.Repeat your urine pregnancy test 10 days after missing your period.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. RegardsDr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
