Am I the only winnipeg-er on this site?? There must be a pegger or 2 out there!!
This snow is killing me! in my head spring was just around the corner and I was already planning the garden! We have a small/medium yard that becomes a yard only for our dogs in the winter, so that's all good, but the snowbanks around our entrance and down our driveway are way taller than my 2 year old! they're probably about 5 feet high!
Not that I know of! My obgyn knew I was taking it the whole time and it worked for us! My obgyn is an amazing guy who also studied under a midwife, so I imagine he would have said to stop taking it. I was taking a chasteberry tincture, im not sure if that makes a difference though. I also took higher doses of vit D and B12.
I had extremely long cycles as well, usually about 40-60 days. With my son it only took 1 round of metformin to go from a 55 day cycle to 33 (55 was the average of the previous 13 months). With this baby the first round brought me to 42 days, second was 37 and then 32. Without the metformin clomid was kinda useless for me because It made me ovulate but by the time it happened there was no chance for a healthy implantation. I had a friend who was only on clomid and then talked to her dr about metformin too and started taking them together and it worked right away as well.Originally Posted by bcblondie
Hm that's the first I've heard of using those 2 together. Well clearly it worked! lol.
I don't know what my infertility is. I've always had long cycles in high school. Like 5 or 6 weeks. I didn't pay that close attention. After my miscarriage I pretty much stopped ovulated all together. Doc put me on clomid. Which has gotten me ovulating most cycles. Although still a bit late. Sometimes a lot late... I'm still wondering if there's something else affecting my chances of actually conceiving/implanting though, once I O. And I've had 2 m/cs so of course I wonder if there's a cause for that.
Thats great that it worked for you. I agree, it's worth any side effects. Luckily clomid by itself doesn't give me any.Originally Posted by heavensearth

Its not easy being on both of them between being so sick and being high strung and moody, but the end result is worth it
I know with clomid, when you take it in your cycle makes a big difference! The earlier you take it, the more eggs but they're less mature... not sure when you take yours.
Are you using OPK's too? feel free to message me if its too personal to post for all to see
Hi lash! The placenta mainly works by releasing oxytocin, the "love" hormone, into your body. It seems to give people energy and gushy, lovey feelings. Some wymyn report an increase in breastmilk productionas well! I ask that someone drops the placenta off for you, and picks it up as well. It's usually in-laws, dads and doulas that come to my door. I haven't actually met any wymyn whose placenta I've encapsulated besides my wife's! lol Here's a link to my facebook page for more info.Oh, and I have been to Dr Shi as well and am a bit skeptical as she encouraged me to stop breastfeeding. After I had already paid for several treatments she basically said it wouldn't work unless I weaned my DD so I could take all the herbs. She knew I was still BF'ing from the start, so I was not too impressed with that. I certainly have heard others say great things about her though!
