Went to my second follie check this morning...2 on right (was 3 on Sunday but I guess one disappeared or something and they were all 8mm then) one is 9mm and one is 14 and another on my left (was 10mm on Sunday) now 14mm. Dr has me doing 5 more days of Femara, 3 pills a day and I go back on Monday for yet another scan. He wants me to do OPKs every 12 hours just in case I OV before Monday. Also starting Metformin today. He has me starting 1 pill a day and gradually getting to 4 a day when I feel my body is ready. I see several of you ladies take it so can you tell me about your side effects and how much you take? Also found out some not so happy news today (speaking of Metformin)....I have diabetesWow, what a morning.
Lola - did af find you? Sorry!
I am not upset though. Ready to begin a new cycle. I am 13dpiui, no signs of the 
yet, but I can feel her near by. I was going to test tomorrow, but I am just going to wait it out and test monday and call the RE office.

Hi there! I have been taking 1500 mg of Metformin for almost a month now. I started with one 750 mg pill and added the second pill after 3 days. I have been really lucky and have not had any side effects. My doctor recommended I eat a low carb, sugar-free, and grain-free diet to reduce the side effects and I think it has really helped. I have also been exercising a lot (for me anyway) which also supposedly helps. The funny thing is that I didn't really have carb cravings at first but now all of a sudden all I can think about is chips and queso or brownies. I just bought myself dark chocolate covered bananas at the store and am hoping that is a healthier compromise
Okay ladies I tested this morning and got a stark white
Goodluck ladies in the tww, and the ones in the beginning their new cycle.
I'm having some of the same timing concerns this cycle also. fx'd it works out for you!
....
As for me, AF showed up on CD33 (feb 3rd). I can't believe I just had a somewhat normal cycle. LoL. I'm now on CD3 and start my letrozole 5mg today, taking them CD 3-7.
I was bummed that I didn't get my BFP, but the fact that I ovulated, and that a REAL AF actually came on her own, that's a big step in the right direction to me!
So, now I start this cycle with HOPE. My RE said that last cycle I had only a 9% chance of conceiving, and this month I have an 18% chance, and that my chance goes up from there, as long as my body responds in the ways that it should. My only question, is that since I started AF on the 3rd, it's been a decent flow up until today...is it possible to have only a 3 day period? It seems short to me! ...maybe it's just slowed down and will start up again, considering the PCOS...it's confusing to me!
Anyway, just thought I'd do a quick update to update my stats.
Stay strong ladies

My AF with femara and metformin has been 3 or 4 days with a medium to light flow and spotting <sorry TMI> when i was younger it was very heavy and was 7 days of helloooo! I would lay in bed for days, sleeping.
When I was young, mine was identical to yours, but for the past 5-6 years I've only had the "break through" bleeds and horrible debilitating cramping. Yuck. LoL. Now I have the light to medium flow with on and off major cramping. I'd just like to get on a regular "schedule" with all of this so I know what to expect, instead of having to guess all the time. LoL.
