Our Baby this week...

From whattoexpect.com

Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy). On the crown of that large head (and over the rest of the body), hair follicles are forming. Fingernail and toenail beds begin to develop this week and by next week, the nails themselves will start to grow (so don't forget to add a baby nail clipper to your to-buy list).

Your baby's body is straightening and his or her torso is lengthening (sounds like a yoga pose, doesn't it?). Other poses your baby can assume now: stretches, somersaults, and forward rolls. And while you can't tell this baby's gender by its cover yet, testes are developing if it's a boy and ovaries if it's a girl.

Hello! I was brought to your blog from researching other women who have had the same issues I've had with PCOS and getting pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for 3 years... I am going back to the Gyno on May 30th to go over what steps we can take from here... I have had the same issues with metformin that you have had. My question is, why did you want to go to Extended Release? Did it help ease the symptoms? And what strength of Clomid where you on when you were able to conceive?

Any help is appreciated, you can email me if you'd like jennifer.greeney@sbcglobal.net

Thank you for sharing your story, it gives me strength and hope that one day will be our day!
