Day 25
Hooray! My OV-Watch is saying "Fertile Day 1!" I know my husband is going to be happy. I have deprived him for a few days because the fertility watch manual says that it will help concentrate the semen population... hehehe. Well, we are on for baby dancing for the next 8 days in a row! That should put a huge smile on his face (as well as mine)! I carry my Metformin meds with me in my purse, just in case my dosage time shows up. I have my Immodium close by too, just in case. But lately, no toilet chacha. Thank God! My body is pretty much used to the meds now. I even ate an ice-cream cone yesterday without any stomach upset. Looking good!

Day 24
I missed a dose of Metformin yesterday. I didn't double up when the next dose came. I didn't want to cause myself to get sick or for my blood glucose levels to become extremely low. I hope missing the one dosage didn't make a huge difference. It's just that I have been trying to be right on schedule with this.
I keep looking at my OV-Watch everyday, getting excited thinking to just ovulate on my own. No fertile days as of yet. I'm on CD 11. I must will have a late ovulation (hopefully), because the watch is supposed to tell you four days ahead of ovulation and this is CD11. If I was supposed to ovulate on the average CD 14, the watch would have started prompting fertile days as of CD 9. Well none yet.
Yes, I'm impatient. Well, I have been waiting to hold my own child in my arms for so many years; so that would explain the impatience.
Now that my mother has seen my OV-Watch, she keeps asking me did the fertile day show yet. She also wants me to let her know as soon as I see it. I know she's excited... but this is the exact type of pressure I wanted to steer clear of. I wanted to enjoy this alone for a while, not for someone to know my every step. Because a small disappointment for you becomes a huge disappointment for everyone when things like this are shared.
Well, I am going to use the OV-Watch with the Metformin for the these 3 months. So if nothing happens, then I will visit my OB/GYN in December... that's when he advised I should actively try. I only have 3 months worth of OV-Watch sensors anyway. That's great for September, October and November.
For now, I will continue to battle my PCOS and wait for my miracle.

Day 22
So, today is Day 22 of my Metformin trial. It was a bit hard the first couple of weeks... running to the bathroom several times in an hour. Praying that my next meal will not set off an explosion in my stomach. All the dairy things I once loved have become my kryptonite. So now I know how to eat with the Metformin 750mg twice daily. I take it with meals, in between the course of the meal itself. Eat a bit, then take the pill, then eat a bit more... that seems to work for me. Drinking lots of water works for me too. Carrying Immodium doesn't hurt either.... you know... just in case (smile).
I'm toting an OV-Watch on my right wrist... my family saw it yesterday. I was trying to keep this current try all to myself. I didn't need anyone's concerns or strenuous hopes and their dreams of a child that's not here yet. It's a lot of pressure when you are trying. I had been going for a while without them seeing the watch because I wear it at night when I sleep usually. But the night before, I fell asleep without putting it on, so I had to make sure it was able to get readings from my wrist during the day. That's how my mother spotted it right away. She noticed it and knew what it was immediately because she was the one who told me about it when she saw it on t.v. last year.
It is like I am excited about seeing how the Metformin works on it's own with the OV-Watch. But another part of me does not want to get too excited because of the failed trials and the unsuccessful pregnancies I have had already. I am tired of the fertility meds. The Clomid, the injections, the daily ultrasounds. The IUIs. I was able to achieve pregnancy twice before without all this madness. So why is it so difficult now? Maybe I am sending my body through a whirlwind with all the hormones. So my doctor said give it a rest until December. I stopped for like 4 months, and it's like man... I want a child already. But I decided to just get my own hormones in proper order... that's where the Metformin comes in. Polycystic ovaries respond to it well at the right dose and for the right amount of time. So now I'm making sure I take it every day and on time because I want my BFP (Big Fat Positive).
