Just a little update

Hello ladies,

Iv been on here on and off the last year reading posts and sending you all prayers and positivity.

After 2 failed transfers last year, I was finally given metformin this year as I have pcos and this is the only thing I hadnt tried. This is my 2nd month and I have lost 8lbs. My weight was never a huge issue but I had steadily gained it over the years and was a stone heavier than my normal weight.

Bmi is now 23, I feel better in myself since shifting the weight, my cycles were and are always regular so no changes on that front. Have been using OPKs which show i do ovulate..but still no BFP.. every month is a build up of emotions and every month I have to pick myself up again. I feel like a huge failure, i despise my body for not doing what its supposed to do.. and then I shake myself off and thank my body for every breath Im able to take and live a (mostly) content life.

We are saving for another self funded cycle this year (hopefully) and I think this will have to be our last try for financial reasons and emotional reasons. We used embryo glue last time and this time im hoping to have a scratch as i think I had failed implantation. Does anyone have any success with scratches?

In the meantime im praying for a miracle, im at Leeds fertility and have been told we can conceive naturally..so im trying to remain hopeful but it hasnt happened in 6 years of trying naturally so I fear IVF is our only chance!

Lots of love to the ladies on here and goodluck with your journeys xxx
