Still, I loved it and I am resigned to wait for the next book, this last one took six years! I hope he does not take as long for the next one.<br /><br />I was on metformin for a while, in theory to prevent ovarian cysts. I had failed a glucose tolerance test back then. I still got ovarian cysts in spite of the metformin. They increased my dose and then I got acid reflux. Then I changed doctors and the new one said I did not need metformin. By then I had changed my diet and was limiting my carbs (which did wonders for other PCOS symptoms but I still had cysts). When I got pregnant I passed the glucose tolerance test, I think it was thanks to the low carb diet. I miscarried anyway, but that was due to a subchorionic hematoma, metformin would not have helped. My second miscarriage remains a mystery.Pearlhttp://mylittlevalleyoftears.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-1546167114001439452011-07-26T06:36:01.417+05:302011-07-26T06:36:01.417+05:30Thanks, its really nice to hear that!

I'm glad if what I have learned has helped others in anyway, because it means something positive has come from the horrible.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying the books...I read Dance with dragons first and now I'm reading the first 4, I really LOVE GRRM even though he has this completely nasty habit of killing off the good guys, damn him.Jayhttp://aboutplanb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-53693351966460216362011-07-21T12:52:17.208+05:302011-07-21T12:52:17.208+05:30I just finished the first book in that series and ...I just finished the first book in that series and was so happy to find the second, third, and fourth on sale thanks to the fifth coming out. Now they are in my pile of books to be read!<br /><br />Also, I wanted to say thank you for sharing the scientific material, resources, and explanations you have found in your blog. It has been very helpful to me and I'm sure it has been helpful to other people as well. <br /><br />Anyway, I have been following your blog for a while now and I know this journey has been hard for you, I sincerely hope it gets better.Allison Stoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-9211699217880682942011-07-19T06:10:53.172+05:302011-07-19T06:10:53.172+05:30These books are huge, and be warned, bloody, graph...These books are huge, and be warned, bloody, graphic and with language not for the faint of heart. But the dialogue and plot are absolutely riveting and this series may just make the 'best books I've ever read' list :) I'm planning to put a page up with book reccos- what kind of books do you go for?

And who knows? The test may uncover an issue where you didn't expect to find one. I also asked for Metformin on the off-chance that it would make a difference in egg quality, but was never able to find someone willing to prescribe it to me. It was also the reason I really, really wanted to try Luveris (but, again, was never able to find anyone willing to let me try). <br /><br />I love Peter Dinklage. I haven't been watching the series though may give it a try.Adelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-60937620510702777722011-07-17T22:04:40.127+05:302011-07-17T22:04:40.127+05:30Jen, thanks for sharing.

So there is hope that it might not be as bad as you imagine.Jenhttp://afamilyoftwo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
