I am also struggling to fall pregnant since October 2002. After 3 cycles Clomid and 2 cycles Metformin, still no luck. Even on the Metformin my cycle is still not natural. I have to take meds. to bring on my periods this month after doing a blood test to see if I wasn't preggies. This might sound awful, but I am soo glad I am not alone. Keep faith girls, I am sure we will get some luck soon.
