HI guys......long time no talk......I have kinda been hibernating away from the belly threads having a mental break before we start IVF. I hope everyone is doing well and heading that bit closer towards those elusive BFPs. As for me it is cycle day 3 today (oops cycle day four - it's after midnight :eek: ). I start the BCP on Wednesday and then we are into the down reg cycle full swing.
How's this for luck though.....As you can read from my sig we are getting married on February 24th. Well, count 42 days from Saturday just gone and what do you get - February 24th......we are timed to have an egg pick up on our wedding day - OMG!!! I reckon that is just a classic!
Because we are having PGD, thay can only do one patient a day through the specialised microscopes and testing machinery so they will have to manipulate the cycle to fit the EPU in with the timetable so I said can we kinda try to avoid that weekend. They are now going to leave me on the pill for an extra week so now EPU will be around 2nd March, which is when Hubby is supposed to be in Sydney at the annual trade fair!!! You can't win I tell ya. I told him he will have to make his deposit and then catch a fast plane up there later....hehehe.

Metformin... I know a bit about it through my having diabetes. Some suggestions for the nausea:

You should always wean onto it to avoid the diarrhea. If you get this you can try stepping the dose back a smidge for a while until you are tolerating it better and then try the higher dose again. There is also a new slow release version just out which is good but not many docs know about it yet. Also you can try splitting the dose if you are not already doing that. It is usually best on a full stomach so just after you have eaten which ties in with what you are doing Belinda. Definitely enquire about the slow release form though.....the scuttle butt on the D forums is pretty positive about it so far.

other than that all is well - unless you count mothers who say they want to do the bridal dresses and then want to do them their way not the way I want them - friggin riggin aaargh!!!!
