Day 1 on Yaz

Backgound: I've been psuedo-diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I have all the indicators including a family history, but I don't get "labeled" until my labwork comes back.

Yesterday I started on Yaz, which I took right after my bloodwork...I know she told me to wait until Sunday but I've just been feeling so yucky and was still bleeding so heavily that I couldn't stand it anymore. Took the pill around 8:30...bleeding had stopped by 1:00 and hasn't come back. After 4 months of steady bleeding...this alone is INCREDIBLE!

Woke up this morning with enough energy to fuel the ever ready bunny for a week. Was out of bed by 5:30 (took pill number 2 at 6:00 am) bright eyed and busy tailed instead of dragging myself into consciousness around 7:00. I've had half a cup of coffee today, as compared to 2 cups average, and still the energy level is high. Also I'm much sharper brain wise. Even my boss commented on it.

Now is this due to the Yaz? I don't know. It could be simply relief from being told that yes my symptoms are reasonable and I'm not losing my mind. The other really cool thing is that I'm not as anxious...again not sure what that can be attributed to.

I've decided to not change anything at all in my life style for the next couple of weeks that way I have a "control" period to go by. We were going to change our diet significantly, but I don't think I'll do that. Maybe I'll add some more salad to the menu, but I'm not going to do the radical "Omega Diet" change DH and I had talked about. Because honestly, I don't eat that badly anyways.

I'm stitching more and will post pictures about that soon. Right now it doesn't look like much...just a multicolored pink blob, but it's an easy stitch and I'm enjoying it. I don't really want to call it cross stitch, although that's the basis, but there's alot of single stitching done with 4-6 strands that I'm stitching in tent stitch to keep the tension nice.

Haven't had much time to work on my XNA stuff recently, but I hope to fix that over the weekend.
