Melanie,
Thank you for responding. I find great comfort in hearing from and
reading about other people who have gone through, or who are going
through the same things I am. I will stick with the Metformin. I guess
I am just getting impatient. We want to start a family so badly. The
doctor told me to go off the Clomid for now...as it was making me
insane. Now I'm wondering if taking both drugs would be better.
Thank you again for your encouraging words. Good luck with the
adoption. Enjoy every moment with your growing family!
