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...

Results to the pregnancy test

The results are in...the test was negative. This means that the PCOS condition produced something called anovulation. That's when your LH surges but no egg is released leaving me with rollercoaster hormonal changes and no menstrual cycle. At this point, I have to seek medical treatment and just bite the bullet and go to an infertility specialist.  I've used chlomid/provera 3 cycles earlier this year and it didn't work. So the next step is IVF. That's when the sperm is manually insert into my egg and then placed back inside of me. This is a very expensive process, one I never planned for. So I must believe that God will make a way for this procedure. I know people who has successfully conceived and it works! It will take about $7-10k to do. If you would like to donate towards the procedure, just send your donations to our Paypal: delainagreen91@gmail.com or mail a check.

With that said, here goes round 2...

HELP! Negative does NOT mean NO!!!

Ok, so this is probably not healthy nor is it beneficial for me to be testing this early, but according to Fertility Friend, over 35% of the tests submitted at 10 DPO (days past ovulation) had a positive pregnancy test, some even as early at 8 DPO. So I started testing at 9 DPO and today is 11 DPO and as you can see....NEGATIVE. Now, by 11 DPO statistics showed that 50% of the pregnancy test submitted were positive. I'm not showing any early signs of pregnancy, but that's not really a factor since with my last pregnancy, I sailed through the first trimester virtually symptom free!

However, the real story is what is going on in my head after seeing these negative results. I started researching false Positive ovulation tests as it is usually associated with people who have PCOS. However, just from what I've researched, PCOS only spikes the hormone Estrogen, but once I got that Peak result, that's a different hormone called LH and that cannot be faked! That, plus the temperature spike, is sure indication that I DID OVULATE either on 8/21/2014 or 8/22/2014. Which if I ovulated on 8/22/2014, it is very possible that this could be 10 DPO for me instead of 11 and that makes a big difference on a PT (pregnancy test). I don't want to take Chlomid anymore, but my doctor wants to put me on it if I don't get pregnant this cycle (or if I'm not showing a positive result by Friday).

I'm doing this entry because I am seriously needing prayer for PEACE OF MIND as I get through this week because more than likely this week is THE WEEK I will find out if we are having our rainbow baby or if I have to wait  until next month. I will be going to the doctor on Friday for confirmation by blood, but until then, I have 3 dollar store brand test left...so I will test EVERYDAY!
