Nicole - I put the one day of light bleeding so that I could easily merge the charts. It was really 3.5 days of light bleeding, and 2.5 of spotting. (I fixed the chart after I got my results.) I think I will give the metformin one more cycle, and if I don't see O, then I will go back. Or should I go back before that, to check what that bleeding/spotting was? I am not sure why I wouldn't be O'ing, though. It only took 3 months TTC last time. It could be, though, because I got my first "period" at 13, but only got my first normal period at 16. And, I was on seizure medication from age 2.5 until age 19, and my doctors told me that can cause PCOS. I thought I got off lucky, though, because I had normal periods and only 3 months TTC #1. Also, the first two weeks on Metformin, I was taking it only once a day, so maybe that's why? I hope your DH can pick Aaron up, that way you can relax a bit. I tried choosing the shorter scene, but my tickers stayed on different lines. I just want my posts to be shorter, lol! Hm, I guess it doesn't allow you to post more tickers if you use the shorter one. Oh, well.

Isra: Ok, that makes more sense now. I've had cycles when AF is super mild like that. Actually one of them I had the bleeding only for a couple hours and then then just spotting for a couple more days after that. Dr. M at the time had me using Femara (after we tried Clomid for what seemed like forever) to induce O back then, it never worked though. I would just carefully monitor this cycle while taking the Metformin. See if FF and you can detect clear O. If not, then go back to the see the doctor. I just got a bulk of my morning work done so I am going to rest for awhile, so tired and my head is pounding. Did you attach the two codes, I have no space between them so maybe that's why they share the same line. I don't think I can put the anniversary one because my FF chart is still there. I'll try taking it out and see what happens.

Nicole - So, you think this cycle was anovulatory still. Okay, I will just keep doing what I'm doing and wait it out. Honestly, it sounds a lot better than ruining my TTC break with a lot of [stressful] doctor visits. I will try attaching them, will see how it works. I think I did try it already, but I don't remember. So, I'll try it again. Ooh, now you have an anniversary ticker. Yeah, no need for an ovulation chart if you're pregnant, right? ;) Hope you manage to get a good nap in there. Thank you for the help, by the way. :)

Just have a few minutes, Layla and I are decorating our "Charlie brown christmas tree" (redneck totally..lol we cut down four small piney type trees, zip tied them together to make a tree! LOL! It resembled charlie browns tree in a charlie brown christmas) but I wanted to say to Nicole I am so sorry for the loss of baby B, and I hope you take it easy and rest. I am sure its bittersweet to know one is perfect and the other is an angel now. We are here for you! BIG HUGS! Get some rest!! i commented Aarons new picture, but i dont see it showing up :( gottta go, Fussy pants is trying to tell me to keep decorating and singing to her, in a not so obvious way.. lol

Isra- Oh, bummer. I'm sorry. When I first read that I thought your had typed 45 at first. I'm glad you are sticking around on the boards, but I hope that taking a little step back will be helpful! Nicole- I'm glad you get to work from home right now. Hope Aaron has an easier evening than he did to the start of the day. Brie- That's funny about your Christmas tree! I like it! AFM- Ouch, woke up with a headache. Not so happy about that. I think it's from tension in my neck of course. I would like to O on my own. I'm pretty sure that even if I did when I go in for my US I would still get the hcg injections to keep my cycle long enough.

Amber - You can try cookies, yogurt, apple slices... Cookies got old for me VERY fast, and as I've said before, ginger works miracles (I didn't take any anti-nausea medication, even though I was throwing up/nauseous a LOT, just used cookies and ginger and water and tea). Maybe chocolate will help? Or you can keep a dip for the crackers so that they're less boring and dry. Brie - Glad Layla is learning to be helpful! LOL, funny about your tree being made from a bunch of little trees. I've never seen that Charlie Brown bit, but it totally fits his personality. :D Tell Fussy Pants to sing herself! Tara - Ouch, headaches are awful. :( Maybe your DH can give you a massage, to help relax the tension? If you O on your own, that's a good first step! I hope your cycle doesn't need the extra shots, but, as long as you get that BFP, I guess it doesn't matter how you got there. I'm cheering for you to O on your own, though. That would be great! Hm, but if I'm taking a break, you won't have a belly buddy unless you take one, also. You can be a month ahead of me, though, I don't mind. ;) AFM - Not much, have to get to work. I finished a big part of the project, but I still have lots of little fixes to do. Hopefully I'll get them done today and tomorrow. I have to eat something - the only thing I had yesterday was an omelette sandwich that DH made for me in the evening, with cheese and tomato in it. And a slice of yellow cheese in the morning, and a couple cups of tea throughout the day. I just don't have an appetite. We made tuna pasta salad for supper, and the smell made me nauseous. And, I haven't eaten yet today, either. Yesterday I just took the metformin without food, looks like I'll have to do that today, also. Sigh. DH thinks the reason metformin causes weight loss is because it causes total loss of appetite. At least I have what to blame symptoms on!

Good morning ladies :) I just got the final report from my u/s last week. It was titled follow up scan twins. They were characterized as vanishing monochorionic/diamniotic. BabyA measured 8W5D, 176 bpm and the EDD is still 7/22. BabyB's EDD moved to 8/07, but only measuring 6W and without cardiac activity (non-viable). It was very difficult to read especially mono/di spontaneously reduced to singleton gestation. These next couple weeks are considered crucial for BabyA, all we can do is pray they will continue to thrive. Seeing Dr. A's optimism allows us to hold on to that hope. I can't thank you all enough for your support ♥ Love and ((HUGS)) ♥

Nicole, I have heard of vanishing twin, and it sounds really hard. Kind of makes you not want to do an u/s until twelve weeks, you know? You will probably always remember Baby B, but hopefully, with time, some of the ache will heal. ((HUGS)) We are all praying for you and Baby A to continue to thrive. And, vanishing twin is not supposed to present a risk to the remaining twin. :) BTW, I got more into my signature by deleting the "alt = lilypie..." part of the ticker. ;) Thanks for the tips. :)
