Hi, Cassandra! I posted mostly in May and June, and I remember your
name.
I've been on Metformin for 7 months now, and I'm thrilled that I'm
ovlating. Like you, my cycles are unpredictable, so ttc is not easy,
even under the care of an RE. Here's one thing that the med did for me:
It took away my crazy sex drive. Now I rarely get the surges I did
before.
I just did a search, and I saw that you are in tech. comm.-- me too,
although I haven't worked much in the past couple of months. I assume
you are an STC member.
Anyway, hello!
