metformin

started metformin 3 days ago. This is supposed to help balance out my sugar and insulin levels. This will then prevent the insulin hormone from dominating and allow my other hormones like estrogen do what they are supposed to do. I'm still eating really low carb, so hopefully sometime soon I will ovulate. It's kind of making me crazy just watching and waiting.

let the games begin

We decided a couple weeks ago to go ahead and START TRYING!!!!! We feel ready and excited to hopefully be parents. We were going to wait until december, and I know I've been going back and forth on this, but it is now official. My doctor is going to put me on Clomid in December, but we wanted to try on our own and see if just doing the low carb diet is enough to make me ovulate. So, I've been on a strict low carb diet since July 2nd and last time I did this, it took me two weeks to ovulate. I've been getting frustrated that it's not happening right away, but I'm trying to be patient and give it a chance. If I have not ovulated by July 16th, I am going to take progesterone to jump start a period and then see if the diet helps. Sometimes, I have to start things over with a new cycle for my body to figure out what's going on. I'm trying not to stress about it, but it's almost impossible because I've had to change my diet, so I'm always focused on what I'm eating and it is always in the front of my mind. I'll try to stay distracted with projects around the house, so hopefully that will keep my mind off of it, but I doubt it :)
