WHEEEEEEE. OK so my gyno called back today with my blood results!!! Apparently everything is fine EXCEPT that I have really, really low levels of estrogen and progestrone SO yes, I am going on birth control pills. She called in the prescription today and It should be ready by tomorrow! Gonna get Brad to go pick it up and then I start taking them Sunday! I’m excited to get my hormones back in order because I have not felt “normal” for a long while. Shes putting me on LoEstrin and it helps make your periods lighter and shorter so YAY to that! Apparently everything I’ve been feeling the last month or two? You know how they talk about PMS symptoms. YUP… that’s been me since those hormones dropped too low. Feeling down, discontent, cloudy minded, no sex drive, appetite out of whack, weight gain and a few other symptoms = TRUE PMS. Of course haven’t had a period in 7 MONTHS.. which has been nice but nowhere near normal! Finallllllllllly I’m getting this resolved, thank yooooou! Also, my ovaries are “stuck” and of course normally birth control pills stop you from ovulating but I’ve already got that covered, hah. She said If I wanted to get pregnant (WHICH I DON’T) then I would probably have to take Clomid to help “provoke” the ovaries into ovulating but no thanks!
Today’s been pretty good! Got out this morning and went for the usual ~2 mile walk then came back home to eventually do a workout on the Wii Active. Put on a load of laundry not long ago and soon It’ll be time to start fixing dinner for all of us. I always cook our dinner then put Brad’s plate in the fridge for when he comes home. I’m just so excited!! I’ll finally be able to lose the last chunk of weight, be able to get REALLY FIT as I SHOULD BE because I’ve been doing all the right things but with these hormones so low my body was really, really struggling and not cooperating.
Here’s to more estrogen and progestrone!!!!!
I hope the pills are able to help you feel better!
