New Cycle

Lab work got done, and the doctor said everything looked good.  He did suggest going on Metformin to help regulate my cycles.  He wants to try the metformin, and then. Add clomid in a few cycles if we arent pregnant.  After talking with the nurse about side effects and benefits I agreed to start it.  I was prescribed 2000mg a day, each pill is 500mg and apparently you work yourself up to the 2000 as the side effects can be pretty nasty.  After hearing the potential side effects, I was convinced that I'd be stuck on the toilet for three weeks with hurling everything I'd eaten for the past month (again with the over reaction).

It really ended up being no big deal.  The pill bottle smelled AWFUL though, like rotting fish, I dry heaved and then proceeded to make Dave smell it.  His gag affirmed I wasn't being a drama queen.  The pills did make me a bit queasy after I took it, but no spontaneous diarrhea thank god.

So our plan for this cycle is to bang it out every other day and see what happens.  I opted not to temp because I was stressing so much about it to the  point where I felt I was obsessing and getting upset when my body didn't do what I wanted it to.  So hopefully this will relax me a bit more and fingers crossed this is our cycle.
