Is it working?

So I know I haven't updated in awhile! I've been adjusting to the Metformin. I'm on week 5 of this medication and it has done a number on my body! I'm still dealing with some of the side effects though they have lessened a lot. I'm also seeing some changes in my body! I'm beginning to lose weight! Not as fast as I'd like to see, but hey I can't be too picky! :) So what is new after being on Metformin? I'm no longer having positive OPK's (Ovulation prediction kits) almost every day of my cycle! I got some positives right after my period and then I got another partial positive this Saturday. Today I got a full on positive! Why is that exciting! Well today is the day my body would normally mimic ovulation! On top of that I'm getting cervical mucus that is watery which is a good indicator of a fertile time in your cycle! I wasn't really getting watery mucus at all before! My husband and I have been really good about making sure we get in lots of BD'ing (baby dancing) this cycle without making it feel like a chore! In all reality why should it be a chore?! We are married and should really enjoy each other in that marital aspect! So on that note! I have to ask myself: Is Metformin working with my body? I would have to say based on the changes with the OPK's and CM that yes it is starting to work! I'm beginning to feel much more confident in everything related to trying to have a baby! I am due for my period on Christmas Eve day so I am hoping she just skips over me and that God blesses us with a positive pregnancy test!

I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year! We are excited to spend time with our families!
