Could this be...BLOOD!

I checked my Fertility Friend app today to see how many days has passed since my last period...57 days! Today, I have a period that has been on for 3 days. Only been using one pad per day. Not really normal huh?

Well, the last time I was on my period, it lasted for 6 weeks! This will not be the case this time. Pray its only 5-7 days long. I'm saving up to pay for IVF starting in January if I'm not pregnant by then. Pray I get pregnant because IVF...at least $10k+! I would love to use that money for my 10 year anniversary trip TO PARIS!

Nausea?! Pregnant or Metformin side effect?

I have been having severe nausea for the past 4 days and I am hoping it's because I have a BFP (big fat positive) test and its not a side effect of the Metformin I've been taking. 

I am about to take a test, but I'm so hesistant because I don't want to be disappointed.  Should I test? Ok, you win! If it's not positive,  I'm going to stop taking the medicine because I feel HORRIBLE! 😩😳😷

7 Days of Metformin and still no change YET

I have been taking Metformin at 500mg and getting ready to increase to 1000mg today. The nausea is bad! But I can't give up.  I know it works with chlomid but I'm not about to pay $$$ for more medication, so this needs to work. I try not to think about it. Last time I got pregnant,  I was secretly taking chlomid but I didn't tell my husband because I didn't want to add pressure to our life.

But when my doctor measured the baby, he dated the embryo 2 weeks BEFORE I started taking the chlomid. I did 3 rounds earlier that year and took 3 months off before restarting. So we think the rounds actually prepared my body and then it kicked in months later! I have faith it WILL happen again.

Metformin got me Feeling like crap!

Day 3 after my negative test results and well...I FEEL LIKE CRAP! I'm taking Metformin now which is a medicine that is linked to treating PCOS.  Well, the side effects got me feeling nauseous,  so much so that I had to take another pregnancy test just to make sure I wasn't having morning sickness! And of course, the test was a negative which disappointed my hubby. I am going to try to continue taking it, but I don't know how much more I can take!

Stay posted. I am going to start the natural method instead.  It's just so darn expensive to do this. I wish money was no object. I would fix myself...
