stop the presses!

guess who graced me with her presence this morning? yep, auntie flo arrived! i won't lie - i did a little happy dance, too. this is HUGE! normally, my cycles are 40+ days long. and today would've been cd26 (cd29 if i'm counting the bit of breakthru bleeding that occurred prior to full AF last cycle). so, i guess the weight loss (-14.6 lbs, btw) combined w/ the met/clomid combo is normalizing my cycles (yes, i did just use the word "normal" and "my" in the same sentence, sounds weird to me, too!). the only downside is the severe lower back pain i've been having, the leg pain and cramping - all of which are the very reasons i went on the pill 12yrs ago.

as i said earlier, my annual is scheduled for next wednesday. i don't think dr.c will want to reschedule (for some reason i remember being told it's ok to be on AF) but i'll call monday and make sure.

let the charting commence!

Good news. Fingers crossed! Have you tried upping your calcium intake for the pain/cramping? Yogurt or supplements or both?

I'm not a doctor, but...it worked for me!

Calcium/mag does do wonders!!! I hope you find relief soon. Do everything in the book and you will get relief. the EPO helps tremendously too with PMS symptoms (i have found). CONGRATS woman...welcome to some semblance of normalcy! :) At least in this regard... ;)
