Starting ivf soon - currently taking metformin and norethisterone....advice please!

[LouBoo85]

Hello people

I am new to verity so forgive me if I dont know what all your abbreviations are....what on earth is bfn and ttc? Hahaha!

I have pcos and I am about to start icsi treatment (similar to ivf) and I am currently taking norethisterone to make me have a period so that I can get started with the whole process.

I have also been put on metformin which is supposed to help with egg quality and reduce the amount of cysts that I have on my overies. I have built up to 2000mg over the last couple of weeks and I feel awful, I feel sick, have diarrhoa, I'm bloated, and just generally feel crap....has anyone been on these tabs before and have any tips to stop me feeling so bad? E.g a diet i can follow etc?

I would also love to hear any success stories to keep me focussed and positive as all my friends have either just had babies or are pregnant and although I am obviously delighted for my friends it has been a tough time for me and my partner as we have been together for 14 years and feel like we are getting left behind at times.

I am taking pregnacare daily, have reduced how much caffene i drink, stopped booze,eating healthily, considering accupuncture,and have been given some fertility crystals by a friend (dont laugh). Im literally up for trying anything now so if anyone has any ideas no matter how wierd and wonderful let me know.

Im so excited to finally get started with ivf but am also extremly aware this is our last chance and want to give it the best shot that i can.

I have been reading the secret by rhonda bryne to keep me positive and to help me relax a little in the belief that my baby is on the way...told you im up for some out there stuff haha!

Any advice, guidence, support would mean allot!

Thanks in advance xxx
