Haha - my username is based on Clefairy from Pokemon!  When I was younger I always used to burst into Clefairy noises, just like you mentioned. Hehe. Nope, I don't chart at the moment. When in the best time in a cycle to start? Or can it be anytime? I tried Preseed for the first time as well this cycle, so here's hoping something finally works. I'm now in the 2WW. Fingers crossed! |

Yay, how exciting for you! Got my fingers crossed for you  Just a quick question - did you start taking metformin mid-cycle?

Yes, I started taking Metformin mid cycle. I basically went the doctors and said, 'I've had no O or AF for 5 months, please help!'. I was then given a prescription for Metorfmin. 5 weeks later, I've finally got the big O! Even if I don't get a BFP this cycle, at least I know the medication is doing something. The doctor suspects I have PCOS.  |

Nope, I started testing on cd12 and after using 20 of them and getting empty circles (using the Clearblue digital tests) I got disheartened. Plus they are so expensive, I decided to stop. I did some research and found a saliva opk, which gives you a ferning pattern, when you are ovulating. Plus its reusable, so you've not got the expense of buying new ones all the time. So when I started the metformin, I started using the saliva opk. Then a couple of days ago, I got an intense ferning pattern, so thought I'd test using the Clearblue opk and got my first smiley!! |
