Not a fan of repunctuation
When did this become an exercise blog?
It's time to mix it up a bit. So, back to my ovaries!
When we last spoke, I had just started Seasonique in the hopes that my friendly ovarian cyst would shrink back where it came from. I'm around halfway through my 3 month pill pack, and I've come to some realizations:
- Heavier, more irregular periods are somehow less annoying than constant or near constant spotting and show.
- Sore boobs aren't a lot of fun, although they do seem a tad bit perkier. Not that I'm going to let anyone touch them.
- For the last week or two, I've been insatiably hungry. Since I've been exercising less and sitting more, I'm fairly sure I can tie this in with the rest of my PMS-like symptoms.
- Which leads to weight gain. which might not be technically a side effect, since it's my own damn fault for eating more, but cause and effect, you know.
- I've been tired and headachy the last weekish. Not sure if this is pill related, but I'm in a blaming mood.
I was on the pill on and off for a lot of years, and never experienced any noticeable side effects until after Katie was born. Since that time, I find the side effects to be too annoying to bother with. They aren't horrible and dramatic, more niggling and irritating, but my tolerance for unnecessary irritants is low, and at this point in my life I just don't have to put up with that crap.
I'll be finishing this pack of pills, since it's for the cyst and not for actual birth prevention, but after that I'm done. I'll find another solution, or I'll put up with what Mother Nature dealt me.
