It's been awhile

Haven't been able to update much lately.. Started my new job and that has been taking up basically all my time! My husband and I just got back from visiting family in PA, definitely needed that. It was refreshing to be around some people who we love and care about so much, I've been really missing them! I'm taking 1500 mgs of metformin now, had some side affects the first few days and now I feel normal, all the time. At first I thought the metformin was regulating my cycle, however now it doesn't seem like that's the case. It should have been here the 28th, but never happened and still hasn't. Tested and got a BFN, go figure. Just wish there was something else we could be trying. I feel like we aren't getting any closer to figuring what we need to do to conceive, if the metformin doesn't work. Just going to continue to be patient I suppose..

Just an ok kinda day..

I can't complain to much.. Today started off really well, I had an interview at a nursing home, a few hours after the interview they called and offered me the job! I'm so excited to be getting back to work, definitely need something to keep myself busy! The only bad part is that it's third shift, so days hubby has off I'm going to be asleep, but we'll work it out. On the other hand, it seems like everyone around me is pregnant.. it's really frustrating hearing EVERYONE talk about it.. really brings me down no matter how hard I try to be happy, they deserve to be happy about it, but I find it hard for myself to even fake a smile anymore. Started taking 1500 mgs of Metformin now rather then the regular 1000 mgs, and the side affects are killing me the last two days, hopefully it passes quickly. I'm really hoping for a miracle, hoping that sometime SOON those two pink lines show up for us.. Sometimes it feels like it's so far out of my reach that it can never happen, ugh. I just wish it wasn't so hard!

Welcome to Blogging!

It's been a really long time since I've blogged like this! But I figured, this will be a way to reach out to others struggling with fertility. Here is a little about me, My name is Brittany, my husband and I have been together since high school, We'll be married for a year on March 1st. We've been ttc for a year and a half now,  in the begining he would be gone for a few weeks at a time, He's a U.S. Marine, so at first we thought we just kept missing the right time of the month. Before that I had been on bc pills for almost four years, so we thought it could also be that my body just hadn't gone back to normal yet. Well after months and months of no period, I went to the doctor, where I was tested for, and confirmed that I have pcos. I'm on my second month of taking metformin, and other than that, my doctor doesn't want us trying anything else for at lest another 8 months, she really believes we will be able to conceive with me taking the metformin. Some days are better than others, we are trying to learn how to accept and live witht the fact that it's not going to "just happen" for us like with other people. My husband is much more optomistic then me most of the time. I've been trying to stay positive, but sometimes it's hard. We are still learning a lot about it and it really helps talking to other people who have been through the process we are going through now. That's about all I have for now, but I'm sure I'll be updating often!
