I just wanted to say good luck to everyone in whatever part of this crazy journey you are in.
I am scheduled to start my bc pill after my next period. He also had me start on Metformin. Is anyone familiar w/ it that could maybe answer a few questions? I am just on 1 a day for a wk to start. I fortunately did not get any stomach upset. How long before you start to notice any weight loss? Also, it says on the bottle not to drink alcohol while taking it. I am going on vacation and don't want to worry if I want to have a few drinks. Is that bad? What are the side effects of drinking if you are on it?
Hopeful------Don't be dissapointed if you walk out of the appt and are still confused. I have been to 2 diff docs after we decided to proceed w/ IVF and I left both times still a bit confused. They usually have a class separate from the doctor appt to go over all the details. Some of the things I asked to cut down on my confusion was, #1 (obviously) what week they do the ER #2 What week will I need to start injections and when will I be stopping them #3 When do they recommend I take off work. #4 How long until they do the transfer.
I pulled out my calander and made myself a timeline w/ what needed to be done. Even though I didn't have all the detail of the entire process, it made me feel a little more in control.
