Liz- Here ya go
Metformin lowers insulin, androgen, and cholesterol levels. It also improves metabolism in women who are insulin-resistant.
Metformin may be useful in restoring regular menstrual cycles and starting ovulation in about 45% of women with PCOS.3
Clomiphene (Clomid) and metformin may be more effective when they are taken together. But more research is needed to confirm if this is true.
Some studies show that taking metformin has helped with in vitro fertilization (IVF). But other research did not support this.
Metformin may lower the risk of miscarriage or gestational diabetes in women with PCOS, but this has not yet been confirmed by research. Metformin is probably safe to take while you are pregnant. But because metformin is only FDA-approved for the treatment of diabetes, you should talk with your doctor about the use of this medicine for reducing your risk for miscarriage or treating PCOS symptoms.

My SIL took metformin and clomid to get pregnant after 8 year of suffering from secondary infertility. Their first kid was an oops and it took 8 years and almost 50K worth of specialist visits to get baby #2 here. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Oh yes I am!!! I'm not too excited right now tho (trips to the bathroom are killing me) lol. I'm suppose to up my dose in a week, so hopefully that will help with the minor side effect.

How about an average between the two? You can also use the temp adjuster. I do that sometimes when I am an hour off my regular time.

I'd go with that one. I think such a small difference probably won't matter (but what do I know!)

Hi ladies 
Sorry to be MIA. I have been soooo busy between work, my 3 year old, my husband, some family issues... its seems like time is passing so fast!!!!
I have been temping... writing my temps down but have no plugged them into my chart. I am trying to not stress and over analyze. I will put them all in soon... but I know I O between CD 19-21... last cycle it was CD21 and I had the 33 day cycle, as expected. I wanted to save up DH's spermies to give us the most concentrated amount right before O... but since I won't be able to pinpoint it this month since I have only charted one month... I decided I will save my sanity and be relaxed as possible. I have my preseed ready, along with my softcups tho... that I will use CD 17-22. I am currently CD 15 and have been really dry!! I have also been taking flax seed, EPO and my prenatal. I have had 2 dreams that I saw 2 lines on tests this cycle... oh pls let this be it.
Anyway, thats my catch up! lol
lvn, so sorry about all that has been going on with you. sending you big hugs!
stacey- gosh i hope metformin does its trick for you! i just cant wait to see your beautiful bfp!! does it make u feel any different?
liz, 7 weeks already! time is FLYING by for you!! aaagghhhhh i cant wait until u can post pics of your bump!! lol so.freaking.cute. how are you feeling?!
dreamers, cant wait to see what your chart does this month! i am rooting for you 10000%! are you going to do anything special this cycle or just temp??
bbyo- how are you? did you already start femara? FX FX FX FX
I miss you guys!! Work is calming down for me after this week so I should be back to my normal self soon. I have been feeling very anxious and stressed lately... and I am doing all I can to NOT concentrate on so much so I don't hurt anything fertility related. That's hard!! lol
