So remember the whole deal about trying to start on Metformin to try to get pregnant? Well.. it's been a long process. Months and months of a process to be exact. And last week when I went to see my Doc she said "Ok... go ahead and start taking the Meformin but before you do that I'd like you to have a period since you haven't had it in almost a year..." TMI, I know! But yes, I haven't had one in THAT long and according to her that's REALLY bad because it increases my chances of developing Uterine Cancer. :/ Eek! VERY scary. So she put me on Provera because that's the best way to induce a period. I have taken this stuff before when I was going through fertility treatments and IVF but man.... I think this is the worst it's been for me while being on it. I don't remember having some of the side effects I'm suffering from now.
Some of the side effects I'm having are:
- Tiredness/Weakness/Sleepiness
- Headaches From HELL
- Dry Mouth
Like so bad that I'm tired all the time and sometimes it'll hit me so bad that I feel like I'm going to pass out right there on the spot from the tiredness feeling. It sucks. I don't like it! I have a very active/hyper 3 year old I need to be up and ready to do things with her! UGH.
OMG... like seriously. Really bad. Feels like someone is drilling nails into my head. I just want to go lay down and go to sleep all day. :(
Seriously? LOL This one is so freakin' weird. My mouth feels dry all the time. WTH?
Those are it SO far but believe me, that's enough to make your life miserable. I had so much planned for today. I wanted to finish some more of those handmade felt ornaments for my Christmas tree, put away laundry, wash dishes, clean my room & bathroom, go visit Grandma R, take Sofia for a walk, work on that popcorn wreath with Sofia... but I just can't. I can't function. And I don't mean to whine but it helps to vent.
I'm on Day 5 of this thing, so 5 more days of it and I can say I'm a survivor. LOL Then I deal with a period. Yuck. I still have to get a hold of my GYN and get her to put in the order for Metformin for me and that'll be another adventure in itself.
