CM question? Need educated
Gatorsgirl731

Good Sunday afternoon ladies!
So I am in my 4 to 6 week wait for AF to show up marking my first cycle since the m/c. I was under the impression that at this time I am not supposed to be doing anything but let my body rest and recover. I asked my Dr if I should start charting again, but she said not until AF shows.
Ok having said that...Normaly I have issues with dryness. I couldn't tell you anything about my CM. It all always looks the same to me, unless there is a lot there. I started taking 2000mg of Metformin on Monday, I was under the impression it is supposed to help with my hormones. If that is incorrect please let me know. Today I noticed that I have a lot more CM almost to the point of wiping twice. Is this normal at this point? Is my body starting to get back to normal, or could the Metformin be doing this? and lastly am I on the right track by not doing anything, ie. temping, opk's etc? I'm just a little confused, I am ok with waiting for AF to show but of course at my last appointment there were questions I didn't even think to ask till I left. Murphy's Law I guess.

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
I don't think you need to be charting, but hopefully you are using protection of some sort (I'm assuming your doctor told you to TTA?)
As for the CM - I don't have experience with Metformin, and I don't know what it does to your hormones, but throwing anything foreign in your body is bound to cause some wonkiness. If green tea can cause extra CM, I'm sure Metformin can too. Or, it could just be your hormones are naturally a little wonky right now since you've recently been through a MC.
I think most of the ladies here will agree that there is no rhyme or reason to post-MC cycles. Sh!t goes haywire for a while for a lot of people. I wouldn't overthink it. It might not be a bad idea to take an OPK just incase your CM is due to pending ovulation so that you can abstain or use protection.
ETA to add that you can always call your doctor to ask these questions as well. That's what they're there for! (And I'm not a doctor :P)
TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
So lost.
