Bodily Functions
Well... I have a few bodily functions to report on. I have been taking vitamins while heading for my "new dawn". I went OFF of the metformin completely. I have never ovulated without either Clomid or Glucophage (metformin). I have never ovulated on my own. SO.... a week or so into this I realized that I was ovulating. I am like WOW!!!!!!!!! That is amazing!!!! I know many of you are just thinking this is craziness to be happy about that.... but, really, it is HUGE for women with PCOS to be able to ovulate without meds of some kind. THIS IS A BIG SIGN THAT I AM GETTING BETTER!
THEN... there is sleep. I have always been a very needy sleep person. And with the PCOS and the weight the exhaustion has gotten worse and worse. I sleep later in the morning than my husband no matter how late he gets him from work. HE gets up with the kids. ALWAYS. Because he functions a lot better on less sleep than I do. Not only will I be dragging butt through my day but I will also get migraines when I don't get good rest. Here is the thing: Since I have been doing this I get up hours earlier everyday, no matter how late I went to bed. It started an hour earlier and now I am up BEFORE my kids or my husband! And, I wake up ready to go. Ready to get up and clean my house and work, and feeling good. At first I would just lay there and think "I can't get up now!!!" but then I couldn't go back to sleep so I would get up. My husband said this was the first thing he noticed -- I am becoming a happy morning person. WOW!! If you knew me... you would know that I have NEVER been a happy morning person. (Think Garfield).
NEXT.... well, let's just say that in the last few days I am really finding my husband very attractive. I have always found him attractive... but... I am finding him REALLY attractive lately.... ha ha ha ha....
There are other things as well, like just feeling good in general, better than I have in a few years for sure. And I have never had a very healthy "bathroom schedule" except with the help of the Glucophage (metformin). It made me VERY regular... with diarrhea!!! HA!! No more of that, thank God! No more gory details but let's just say things are really "normal" in that area for the first time in a long long long time. Years and years.
I have been interrupted about 10 times already so I better go.
