Good Morning. I know I am super late. But I got a BFN! I ended up changing doctors. My new GYN gave me a HSG and come to find out my right tube is completely blocked and my left tube is partially blocked. My husband and I decided to try IVF. My egg retrieval was on 2/21/2013. 14 eggs were retrieved, 5 fertilized...My doctor transferred 2 grade A embryos on 2/26/2013 (5day trans).. I'm currently 2ww for blood preg test (3/8/2013.
Hi,
I know I arrived at the party pretty late, but I was recently diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago, specifically, April 2014. So I've been trying to change my lifestyle for the 4 months.
When I first started taking Metformin, the side effects were pretty horrible. I'm a lecturer and when I have teaching days, being on Metformin was super difficult for me. I had to constantly run to the loo...so I stopped taking it altogether. Needless to say, I also started reverting to old eating habits for about a month. However, I made a conscious decision in June to go all the way this time round, so I opted for the Paleo Diet (with my own twists, such as elimination of nightshades, etc). I also started to take my Metformin dosage again. This time around, I noticed that if I eat RIGHT, I don't have the same side effects that I had the last time, if I ate too much carbs or foods high in sugar content...my body immediately responded by making me sick.
The conclusion of this longwinded post, is this, you really need to change your diet when you go on Metformin. You can't continue to live like you used to...it gets easier though...in the beginning its quite hard...then it gradually becomes habitual.
