I'm still not feeling 100%, and I just can't figure out if it's due to the metformin or ovulation. Here are my symptoms: tired (not that that's new), stomach is a little off (not enough to be nauseous and I can still eat, but it's just off), I'm a little bloated, and I have pain on my left side. It sounds like ovulation when I type it out, but when it's happening I tend to blame it on the met. One odd thing, though, is that I had pain on the left side last month too. I know you can ovulate on the same side two months in a row (right?), but how normal is that? I guess I'm just worried that it's a cyst or something.
Meanwhile, something has been permeating my thoughts lately (and, from past experience, when that happens, it's usually God trying to send me a message): I need to stop stressing over the details. I need to stop worrying if there's a cyst on my left ovary. If I'm ovulating. What my estrogen is doing. If and when the met will work. I'm not saying I want to stop thinking about those things; while it would be kind of relaxing not to, it does give me a sense of control over my problem, even if that so-called control is all in my head. But, that is the exact reason I need to stop thinking about those details - the truth is I have no control over them, and by acting like I do, I am lying to myself and God. I need to focus what I do have control over - taking my medication, trying to live stress-free, eating right, losing weight, charting, and making use of my fertile days.
Okay, that being said...
Do you think this recent pain is due to ovulation or the met? (I'll turn over my new leaf tomorrow!)

Eee, it's hard to say. I vote for ovulation though, based on your symptoms (and my experiences with met, although they're likely not the same as yours). I'll pray for good news, whatever the symptoms! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough call... Could it be a little bit of both?
ReplyDeletei definitely think that you shouldn't stress over the little details (yes, easy to say, but so difficult to put into practice!).
ReplyDeletei think it sounds like ovulation though....
I think God said the very same things to me as I went thru my fertility difficulties...I think he is guiding you even if you're not thinking so much about the intricacies of your situation...at least that is what I discovered for myself as I traveled my road and look back at it now. I can see that he was better able to communicate with me so I could have a clearer head and, could see the path he was placing b4 me, which ultimately led me to my goal. Sometimes I get the best info from him ever when I have an emptier head.. God Bless, Lyn Vaccaro P.S. For some reason the post says "Maria" said...I'm not sure why..that's my daughter?? Not sure why that happened...but this is from Lyn Vaccaro..Blessings!
