We did our last diagnostic test - a post coital test. It looks at J's sperm as it moves through the cervical mucus. Mine was like a brick wall - No passage. The prescription? Over the counter mucinex. It'll help thin the cervical mucus.
This finally explains why, when I was a fit young 20 trying to conceive, we had problems. That was before my hormones crashed the party and made everything more difficult.
Things have improved on metformin. I have to eat regularly and make sure I take my pills with food. Taking supplemental vitamins, especially B vitamins has increased my energy and helped with my overall sense of well-being. When I have too much sugar in the afternoon (like a soda or sweets) I crash fast- low energy, nausea, light headed.... I have to be careful what I eat and when.
Overall things have improved. My sister has inspired me to loose weight, and J and I are talking about a "Babymoon"(one last vacation before it becomes more difficult to get away). For the first time in our almost 7 years of marriage I'm hopeful that we have the tools to start our growing family.
