It turns out Metformin really does the trick for me! After being diagnosed with PCOS in February, H and I are expecting our first little one. I'm due in early March 2013!

Congratulations! What a wonderful blessing! Isn't God just great? Can't wait to hear about the journey and preparations along the way

<div>Nope, not a surprise. I got started on the Metformin for this purpose. :)</div>

GJones27 · July 2012

That's great! I had read it as you initially thinking that bearing kids wasn't a possibility medically. It is good to know options are out there for those with the condition. Are you guys talking baby names already?

I saw the ticker on another thread she commented on and thought I had missed an announcement!! Congrats!!!<div>
</div><div>For those who are pregnant, do we want to list the due dates on the "upcoming weddings"? Maybe change it to something that covers weddings/anniversaries/births? I know this is a wedding board but we are a close group of girls. Just let me know.</div>

<div>We definitely hadn't exhausted all of our possibilities. Metformin was actually the very first thing (beyond charting and OPK's) that we did. So it's really exciting that it worked! :)</div>

DramaGeek · July 2012

I knew it! Just by the title, I knew it. Congratulations!

SuMmErKuTiE · July 2012

Oh my goodness!!! That's so exciting! Congrats to you both!

I didn't know you guys were trying, but I had an inkling because I saw you posting baby stuff on Pinterest, but I do that too and I'm not pregnant :-P I'm just pinning for ideas for when I am.

CONGRATS!!!

mrandmrsbrist · July 2012

Thanks everyone!

We are so excited!!

LeahVB2011 · July 2012

So excited for you and your H! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!

<div>Completely fine, except for the fact that I'm tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. I'm not sure if that's related to the fact that I've sworn off caffeine or what. No nausea or anything, though. :)</div>

musicalsunlight · July 2012

Posted by mrandmrsbrist[/QUOTE]<div>Yep. Sounds about right, no matter how long I slept, and I didn't swear completely off caffeine. Regular coke was the only thing that helped the nausea. Ginger ale just made it worse.

I already said congrats on NBC, but I think it's worth saying again. Congrats!

<div>*writes down* I'll need to keep that in mind. The only thing that makes me kind of barfy so far is taking the stupid prenatal on an empty stomach. Haha. I will be telling E this when he gets home, though. :)</div><div>

I would sip on a can/small bottle throughout the day. It's not like I was going through 3 or 4. <div>
</div><div>I started taking my vitamins at night, right before bed, and it's really helped. I also ended up switching to the gummies because I can't swallow the pills (especially the DHA pill) without gagging. The only issue with those is they don't contain iron, and I think mine may be a little low, since I'm still exhausted and you're *supposed* to get your energy back in the 2nd tri. I have another round of bloodwork on Monday, so if it's low I may need to supplement that.</div>

Congrats, that's awesome! I am so happy for both of you!

Well...
