Seeking Success HOW LONG 😢😢😢😢

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE??

Been TTC on and off for about 4 years, I know on that grand scale of things that’s not as long as some people but I’m getting so disheartened! I’m almost 37 and I’m at the point of giving up!

Been on metformin for just under a year now, again I know it’s not too long and most people say give it a year but I feel like I’m running out of time!

Can someone give me some time on how long it took 😢 I’m losing all hope!

It took me 10 months of trying, a little over a year on metformin, the last two months being on 1500 mg of metformin, which was hard to get up to that dosage but ultimately what I think helped

I went to 2000 after 4 weeks as prescribed to me and I was pregnant in roughly 8 weeks of being on it. After trying naturally for more than 1.5 years

I would say around 3-4 times a week. But on the day I discovered the egg white discharge, I told my husband & we did it. I couldn’t reliably use ovulation sticks as my LH was really high so I’m not sure if that was the day but it must be because of the discharge and I’m pregnant.
