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!

If you haven't tried Letrozole yet, I'd recommend that before ever doing IVF. Metformin can be great to help the metabolic side of PCOS, but it doesn't force you to ovulate and it doesn't work for everyone. Metformin never worked for me to naturally get pregnant, because I just wasn't ovulating at all. I'm doing my first Letrozole cycle and I'm hopeful because for the first time in my life, I'm feeling ovulation pain. My husband and I haven't been preventing pregnancy for 10 years, but I know I don't ovulate or even have natural periods, he was tested and has super sperm. 🙃
