| I'm not taking Actos and can't tell you anything about it, but I am taking Metformin, and I am a type 1 pumper.
I've been on Metformin for 3 years now and only pumping since mid-December. I was very surprised that my endo kept me on the Metformin once I started pumping. I questioned him about this at my 8 week visit and he said "many new pumpers gain weight when they first start off, and findings show that taking Metformin can actually help keep your weight steady" That was enough for me! LOL I did gain 7lbs and then lost 3 from a stomach bug that I had..........so I'm up 4lbs. But to be honest, I needed it!
