how are you and the kids doing?

Thanks
Hey thank you for your advice! I have not tried clomid yet.. but I actually am starting it on Friday.. I am so excited but nervous at the same time. I am not sure if it will even work for me. I usually get about 5-6 periods a year and thats with taking metformin.. not sure how many I get without metformin since I have been taking it for so long. I just dont see how the clomid will work when I dont have regular cycles.

Close ADHD / ADD
I am the Mother of a 5 yr old daughter who was born at 25 weeks weighing in at 1lb 10 ozs! She stayed in the Nicu for 4 1/2 mths and began almost immediately early intervention! She has at this time a speech delay. Other than that she is fine.. However over the last few months I noticed a change in her behavior and a regression of sorts if I can call it that. It was maddening! I asked her Father's family to tell me more about their history and have had no luck. I am at wits end
Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Partner/SpouseMy ex who is the Father of my oldest daughter died in 2005 violently. He was an off duty correction officer and his death happened in front of our home. I cannot seem to cope with it and have been prescribed anti-depressants that I am not taking. Our daughter seems to handle it better than I though she doesn't know all the gory details.. His death devastated me on so many levels.. I know that it is supposed to get easier but if I even see someone in Correction officer uniform I go to pieces!
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked

I get little to no sleep and I work long hours, attending college and am the primary caregiver.. I am exhausted!
