Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

[Deleted User]

I was offered a seat on the tube this morning :eek:

I'm blaming my winter coat which is beltless, and has pockets over the tummy. Come on spring!

Thanks Cherry

One thing I have noticed (sorry for TMI) is this is first AF since I started acupuncture (I was CD3 for my first session) and normally I have a lot of brown old blood on the first 1/2 days but I have only had bright red new blood which has never happened before. Apparently it means my womb lining shed fully last month, I did have a particularly heavy day after my first acupuncture so makes sense I guess.

I'm hoping this is a good sign that it's getting everything 'moving' down there anyway

I'm after a bit of advice if anyone has been on metformin? I started it yesterday (had it 2 weeks but wanted AF to start before taking it) and I am really struggling. The nausea is not the best but I can cope with it, but it is giving me the worse stomach cramps and gippy tummy. I know starch makes it worse so I'm trying my hardest to keep to basic meat and veg, with a bit of cereal in the morning but it's been a really rough 48 hours.

If anyone has been/is on it, does it get better?!

To join the TMI I noticed the same thing the last couple of AF very heavy and bright red which I never used to have when taking the pill so lets hope it means good things.

I've taken it but don't think I will be helpful. I started it the day it was prescribed as AF was so erratic in those days. I had extreme nausea and fatigue. I persevered for 3 months feeling just eurgh and was expecting AF any day which didn't arrive. I tested and got a BFP. Turns out I started taking it 12th October and would have OV'd around 2 days later going only off the scan.

I had thought all my symptoms were Metformin effects as they are both the same apparently. I remember I couldn't eat many a meal while taking it and assuming it was the drugs as I hadn't really suffered any nausea in previous pg so didn't suspect.

Hopefully it won't be too long before your BFP as I've heard so many positive stories from people with PCOS taking it.

Told you it wouldn't be helpful. Sorry.

Can't help Kirtsypoos but re-post on the +12 months thread. There may a few ladies there that can offer advice too.

Edit, went to grab the link for ease but think the thread has dropped away. I know it was quiet. Maybe the pregnancy club. There might be ladies in there that went through that journey before their BFP.......
