30 Days
I got my period Saturday. (I know, TMI, but the good news is yet to come.) All day long I felt crampy. I was tired. Bloated. I refused to step on the scale for my weigh-in which I normally do on Thursdays but I knew that Miss Thang was on her way and I didn’t want to see the damage.
When I went to record the start date of my cycle this month, I noticed that my last cycle was only 30 days. Thirty days, people! Do you know how fanfreakintastic this is? It is. Trust me.
I haven’t had a 30-day cycle since 1998. I kid you not. In January my cycle was 51 days. In March it was 47. April was 42. May, 39. June 38, July 37, August 35. September was 32.
And October was 30 days.
This means the Metformin is working. It means the 90 minute (from start to finish) workout sessions are paying off. It means that my reproductive health is improving. It means that I may get pregnant again, sooner than I think.
Today I’m still feeling bloated and cranky (but totally not as irritable and moody as I used to be), cranky only because the cramps are making it impossible to sleep at night, but I’m feeling confidant about the way my body is functioning these days. This is great progress.
On another happy note, I finally found a new winter coat. Yay, JC Penney and your totally awesome pre-Thanksgiving sales! I won’t freeze my ass off this winter.
Can you believe it? Thirty freakin’ days! If this current cycle is 28 days I’ll pass out.
