So, it's for real. We are scared about the possibility and failed fertility treatments and are adopting. We've talked about it all week. DH seems so much more at ease. Except - there is so much to learn! Calling agencies, talking to people to did it themselves, the wait, the money, the birthmothers. It all seems a bit surreal and also a bit sad.
And then there is still the issue of the terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad periods. I am in the process of petitioning my RE for metformin for the dreaded PCOS. Of course I have an 'old school' doc who believes in only prescribing me meds if I truly require them. So, more expensive blood work! In the mean time this Prometrium is no longer doing the trick. I just don't understand! I give up the baby bump, but still have to deal with this stupid shit! I want my BCP back... But I just cannot give up on the miracle that wont ever happen. (That is that my DH suddenly produces sperm and I miraculously ovulate). A girls allowed to dream, right?
I've been talking a lot about IF lately. Maybe my calling in life is to be an IF nurse educator... someone's got to tell the world how much our lives suck on a daily basis!

Maybe as you get further into the process you'll feel more confident and it will be easier to go back on the BCP. I don't want to be a negative Nelly but it took me a month to adjust to 2000mg metformin and I was miserable the whole month. Possibly not what you need right now? Although you know better than I do. : )
Oh my goodness! I somehow missed your last post! CONGRATULATIONS on your decision! I wish you all the best!
No advice on the periods, sorry.
But yay! This is so exciting!!
