TTC #1 currently taking Metformin to regulate periods. Need a friend.

I am 28 and have been TTC since August 2011 and am very impatient. It seems that everyone around me is getting pregnant or having children. Before BC I was very irregular and it has been this way since I started menstrating. When I was on BC my periods were regular to the time, it was very nice. Since I have been off of BC we are back to irregular again. It has been hard to figure out when the right time is to have intercourse and when I ovulate. I went to the Doctor in April to see what was going on...I had some blood tests run and it turns out that I have high insulin. My doctor put me on Metformin to hopefully regulate my periods. I will be on this till August, if I am not pregnant by then I will be put on both Clomid and Metformin. I am very nervous, scared and sad that I will never be able to have kids. I have never done forums before but needed someone to talk with that would understand.....its very hard to talk to people who don't get it. They will tell me things like relax, be patient, just quit trying.......easier said than done.

Would love someone to talk with.

hi, I have been on Metformin for 3 months now, i tried clomid but didn't get on with it so now take tamoxifen. I'm 35 and have been TTC for 3 years, i too have NO patience and it has been tough but i just keep thinking hopefully it will be worth it in the end. I know it is easier said than done but try not to stress as its not good for you.

How do you stay positive? I cry myself to sleep every night and I pray all the time. I feel bad knowing that I have been trying for less than a year and am complaining and you have been trying for 3. I admire you and your positive outlook. You must be a very strong person.
