Hi
Metformin should not be taken during pregnancy since it can cause defects in fetus. Gestofit contains female hormone progesterone.This medicine is recommended for use in pregnancy only if the progesterone deficiency is clinically established.It is generally used only in the first trimester.Hence you can stop using both the drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
