noticed this board before. I must be blind. Anyways, this was the perfect one for me, but now I don't know what to say. Without drugs I don't ovulate. Metformin is now making me to sick to take it. So I'll just be trying Clomid. I am very freaking hopeful! I got preggo once on it, by God I can do it again. Now, if I can just quit smoking again.......I know, it's bad. I know I know I know...

I have PCOS and didn't ovulate until the Metformin (since I was a teenager). The first 4-5 weeks were horrible. I wanted to quit taking it soooo many times because of the awful stomach problems....but I continued and it got sooo much better. Clomid alone never worked with me. However, if it works for you without the Metformin....cool beans! lol

P.S. Praying you'll be able to give up those nasty cigarettes too. I know its a hard habit to kick....but well worth it.

I swear that I will never start smoking again because I will NEVER quit again. That was the hardest thing I have EVER done. It sucked sucked sucked & 10 months later I STILL crave them some days. I do like being able to breathe so much easier though . . .
The best advice I can give you about Clomid is to take it at night (you may need a Tylenol PM as it can keep you up sometimes) - That way I sleep through the worst of the side effects & I am pretty much fine the next morning. I get really sleepy/a little nauseous/ crabby on it - like PMS times 10! LOL It's a lot better on my system (& my marriage) for me to just take it & go to bed!
Hope it works for you!! I keep telling myself the same thing - we got pregnant before we can do this again it will all be fine . . . my new mantra I guess!

I feel so relieved I'm not only one trying to quit that smoking!!With all this ttc concieve stuff stresses me out!(I know I'm probably making an excuse)I quit when I found out I was pg a 1 1/2 ago and started right back when i m/c.I was told I have a high fsh from the ccct.so that's my battle.I need to produce more eggs!!!I don't know why i haven't came here before either.I feel more at home I think.

The smoking....I really don't even want to. I know I make excuses too. I was doing so good at not smoking for the month I quit but then the holidays got to me and work went to extra stress mode. My best friend there quit work and there is a coworker who helped her do that....someone out to get us I suppose. Not enough help and I get forced to do the jobs of 3+ people. And I work in a grocery store so I get cussed at and yelled at quite often. (just the other night we got told to shove our heads up our butts-other word used-because no one was working in the floral department) I do want to quit, but I have to find that drive that I had the last time. I do know if I do get preggo, I will definately quit. I'm going to attempt the quitting tomorrow again. I'm off for two days in a row.
The Metformin. I've even read that cutting carbs out in your diet cuts back on the side effects, but man, I still just can't hack it. The first time I was on it, I only had diarreah. The last time, I had that plus heartburn and migraines. I was only taking half the tablet every other day too. So I really don't even want to try again with that.
I'm on day 3 of clomid now. No major side effects other than feeling a bit ditzy, like my concentration is going to hades. I do sleep ok with it, it's the lack of room on the bed that annoys me. (3 dogs, 3 cats) I am going to take a tylenol pm tonight though just so I can really snooze good.
And can you believe, I forgot about this board again til today.
Thanks for listening to my babble. Maybe tomorrow I'll write my whole history with infertility....
