in NEED of some advice or opinions
My husband and I tried all last year to get pregnant. Already being a mother of 2 from a previous relationship I felt, how hard can it be. Well after months of trying and no luck I turned to my Dr. they did simple blood work and a vaginal ultrasound and kept assuring me everything was great and I was over reacting. They told me to download this app and track my periods as well as my ovulation and fertile times which I did. Me and my husband made sure to do everything we were told and then some. Still nothing worked. My husband deployed in January so I told myself I was determined to go back to my dr and get everything figured out and get for sure answers so when he came home we could try and again and hopefully this time be successful. Finally I saw a new OBGYN who listened to my years worth of complaints and concerns and finally agreed that something didn't seem right. She ordered a full panel of blood screenings and had me come in on my 3rs day of my period and 21st day after my period started to test for things. They ended up calling back and saying everything was fine, except I was boarderline not ovulating and told me to take this medicine they prescribed called "Metformin". I was devistated to hear the news because I couldn't understand how I have two healthy girls but now all of a sudden I can't get pregnant ... they never told me answers or facts or what can cause this and how it's fixed. Just take this medicine and good luck. I started taking the medicine about a month ago and already lost 15lbs. I'm already small so that is a lot of weight for me to lose. I literally feel like the medicine is slowly killing me. I've never had such worse pains in my stomach and feel complexity weak and exhausted and can't eat. They keep assuring me it's the medicine and normal but to me it can't be good to jeopardize my over all health just for a 50/50 chance of this medicine working. I guess what I'm asking is, has any other women tried this medicine and what were your results. Or has anyone been told you're perfectly healthy and all blood work and tests are great but you're not ovulating ? I guess I'm just lost and confused with no answers or explanations and it seems doctors now days just push medicine on you and that's it. I'm feeling very frustrated and at a dead end with no help. My husband wants me to stop taking the medicine until he's home for deployment but in my mind i think "what if this is the solution, what if it will solve my problem and I'll get pregnant" but then I think... what if this doesn't do nothing. Sorry for the long post , I don't really have any friends or family to talk about with this.
