diet and while I haven't been wonderful with it (which is directly related to my lack of blogging lately), I do try to stick to it when I can. Well, after about six months of getting my period every two months-ish, I ended up getting it in June, and 33 days later in July. I remember texting my BFF and telling her I got it and it was weird because it had only been four weeks, lol. Now, 31 days later, it seems like another cycle may be moving in. Of course, I may be wrong. But, on August 5th, Cycle Day 19, I was complaining to my BFF about my ovary hurting. Did I ovulate? Maybe? I don't know! But I'm excited. To think that while I'm still totally unhealthy, a super simple change may have led to my body self-regulating, is just - I don't even have the words. So, here's to hoping that a new cycle starts in the next few days!!! Though, I'd be happy if it didn't, because if it does, I owe Donnie $20. I've been super irritable the last few days and he has noticed a direct link between that my period lol. So, we shall see. If it does come, I will be doing some serious charting this next cycle to see what happens.

Holy Body Confusion, Batman!
So, with PCOS, a common symptom is irregular cycles. This was my very first symptom, and it's stuck with me for almost 16 years now. The only time I have ever had a regular cycle was while on birth control, and even then it was sometimes still wacky. So, here I am, 27 years old, slowly giving up on the idea of ever having kids, and I decide to start really battling my PCOS on my own. I've done birth control, I've done Metformin, and while I have no complaints about any of it, no bad side effects or anything, I just don't want to do that anymore. I want to see where I can get just by changing how I eat, exercising, and working with the problem instead of masking it. So, I started the Ultra-Metabolism diet and while I haven't been wonderful with it (which is directly related to my lack of blogging lately), I do try to stick to it when I can. Well, after about six months of getting my period every two months-ish, I ended up getting it in June, and 33 days later in July. I remember texting my BFF and telling her I got it and it was weird because it had only been four weeks, lol. Now, 31 days later, it seems like another cycle may be moving in. Of course, I may be wrong. But, on August 5th, Cycle Day 19, I was complaining to my BFF about my ovary hurting. Did I ovulate? Maybe? I don't know! But I'm excited.

Awesome! I have Cale on a weight loss shake supplement thing that is supposed to help get your body back to "normal" for ALL SORTS of different issues from actually needing to lose weight to speech disorders to alzheimers, etc. If you are interested, I could send you the info...it might help?! I've thought about having Sean take it for his seizures, but can't afford it for two of us (Cale and Sean) currently. Oh, and if you don't want to lose weight, you don't have to on it (Cale won't lose weight b/c he isn't using it as a meal replacement, just a supplement). It's called Nutriiveda, if you are interested and I can send you a webpage with more info.
