Well, the latest update is that AF showed up after 10-11dpo on about cd87. I know, not ideal, but on the bright side, at least something is happening.
It was quite a long ride, which I hope to not have to endure ever again. I think possibly the metformin did add an extra day to my LP, which is still somewhat short for my liking.
So far metformin hasn't given me any noticeable negative side effects. It has seemed to have reined in my BBTs somewhat. I look forward to seeing even greater positive changes on the medication over time.
Overall It was a confusing cycle and I'm now counting today as cd5. Which is important...
The walk-in clinic doctor prescribed clomid for me this week! I'm excited that with any luck, I'll be able to ovulate on a normal time frame this month. Avoiding any more super long cycles. I'm on 50mg per day for days 5-9.
Please send positive vibes this way for a healthy cycle. I know our LO is coming sometime soon and who knows, this may just be our key. I'm willing to try most anything to just have normal cycles and more importantly, a normal pregnancy.
At the same time I'm also somewhat nervous of the clomid due to the side effects, which I understand are rare but still it's a risk at some level. Clomid can cause existing cysts to grow, so I certainly hope that the cyst that was found on my right ovary in March has gone away. The doctor didn't do a follow up ultrasound, so until we get tests at the fertility clinic, we won't knowing more.
I'm going forward on faith that all will be just fine. This is another step, another test, another proactive movement, towards our future family.
