Back to the doctors...and the start of Metformin

When I made my follow up appointment I decided to bring my husband with me so he could be there when the doctor  explained what was going on with me and it gave him a chance to ask any questions he may have too. When the doctor came in she went over my lab results again and told me she would like to start me on a prescription called Metformin. Metformin is often used by people who have diabetes. I don't have diabetes but the drug also helps control my insulin levels since I am resistant. She wanted me to be on it for 3 months and return in October for a follow up and if I didn't get pregnant they would start me on Clomid. I started Metformin 500 mg 3 times a day in June. The doctor warned me about certain G.I. problems that come along with starting Metformin. Bascially I was going to have horrible diarreha but if I could just get through the first two weeks I would be home free and it would get better once my body got use to it. I took my first pill and in about 2 hours I could tell the medicine was already taking a toll on me. I felt extremley dizzy and light headed. That night I went to jazzercise class and it was all I could do to make it through the class. I felt awful and completely out of it.  I looked at Metformin as a "miracle drug" its what I thought was going to make me have regular cycles and get me pregnant, so I continued on with taking it. Oh, and P.S....the diarreha hit on day 2 of being on the medicine and it was awful. TMI, I know but really it was awful! After being on the medicine for about 4 days I decided to call my doctor. I had been feeling so sick and I guess because I felt so sick I started feeling depressed. All I wanted to do was sleep because I felt so weak and dizzy, and body aches also started. When my doctor called me back she basically told me "I never said this was going to be easy, make sure you are eating good carbs because it sounds like your blood sugar is dropping too low." For other reasons I wont get into I ended up having to go back to my ob/gyn office on a last minute appointment and I saw a different doctor. He was absolutley amazing and I felt really comfortable with him. He also told me I didnt have to continue taking 3 pills of Metformin a day. If I wanted to I could just take 1 a day for a week, then work my way up to 2, and then eventually I could started doing 3 a day. I took his advice and it was the best thing I ever did. I am now up to 3 pills a day like I should be and I feel completley normal again. Ever since I started Metformin I have had a period once a month like I should be having and I am REALLY happy about that! Its giving me more oppurtunities to get pregnant, but....I'm still not pregnant. I've had positive OPKs, done the baby dance, waited that horrible 2 week wait, and nothing! Its now October and I have my follow up appointment scheduled for the 28th of this month to see about moving on with Clomid. I know my husband will need to be checked before I go on Clomid so I called my doctor and he is giving me a lab slip and a container to give to my husband so he can give a sample. The sample has to be taken to the lab at our local hospital within 30 minutes of being deposited and they will check his semen there. I think my husband will be doing that next week so we have the results by the time my appointment comes around on the 28th! I dont think he is the problem, I really belive its just me, but wish us luck! I will let you know what happens!
