Hi all,
I started taking Metformin about a month ago. I have slightly elevated fasting blood sugar and my glucose tolerance is impaired. I don't have diabetes but it runs in my family so I am taking precautions and my ob/gyn thinks Metformin may help. I don't think I have PCOS because I have been ovulating every month I have been TTC (confirmed with bloodwork on 3 different occasions). I normally have cycles between 31-35 days and I ovulate between CD 19-21. I am currently at CD 20 and I had started to show signs of ovulation (cervical mucus etc) earlier this week and I had a light line on an OPK. Now the line is totally gone and my mucus has dried up but I never got a positive OPK. I did go up to 1000 mgs this week from 750 last week-- does anyone know if that might affect ovulation and if I go back down to 750 or 500 if I might still ovulate?
Any advice at all would be appreciated! It's now the weekend and my OB/Gyn's office is closed until Monday. I dont want to miss my fertile window.
Thanks!
