Resting...

I called the dr's office on Monday to let them know this last cycle was a bust and that the Metformin extended release was making me nauseated. Loreen was quick to tell me they could fit me in for an u/s to do another medicated IUI this cycle. With the start of school at the end of this month and a workshop that I need to attend a week and a half before school starts, I figured it would be too stressful for me, so I told her that I would rest this cycle. Also considering that IUIs will no longer be covered by insurance due to our change in insurance plans, even more so, I think we'll be taking a long break from infertility treatments.

Since she said we'll still be trying to conceive on our own, they're leaving me on Metformin for now at 500mg (down from 1000mg) because it's making me nauseated. I'm still reading The Infertility Cure hoping to find some answers, hope, and of course something new to try. It's pretty interesting. According to what I've read so far, I am indeed imbalanced in many areas. It's also a little depressing, but at least helps me understand the underlying possible reasons as to why we haven't been successful on our own and with the aide of infertility treatments. We'll see if what I learn and apply really helps.

The nausea has really hindered a lot of things this week. I was hoping to really get on a consistent exercise schedule, but was only able to exercise a couple of days. Now that I'm feeling a better, I'll try to exercise more regularly. I have yet to try to fit into something that was getting snug, but physically I'm feeling better, so that's a plus. Motivation to keep plugging away.
