Setback #1

Today as a frustrating day. I went into the last few month with a beacon of hope and now it seems to have dimmed.  I have been on Metformin for 6 months, I have lost 35lbs, I started eating healthy (ie no dairy or sugar) and still nothing has changed. My doctor called me this morning and told me that I am still not ovulating which makes it impossible to get pregnant. Which is my end goal here, right? but as of today, that goal seems further away. He told me that the pills should have worked by now and that we need to think about other alternatives.  I feel hollow. I honestly feel like giving up.I know I won't because this is something I have wanted and have tried to achieve for three years, but sometimes I just think its too hard, its too much pressure and that I'm better off just letting nature takes its course.  At this point have two options: 1. take Clomid which is a drug that helps me ovulate. I can only take it for 6 months at a time before my body rejects it
