Down the Hatch!

So Saturday I took my final active birth control pill...



I'm excited... and scared.

I'm excited about the prospect of getting to know my body and discovering just where I'm at in terms of reproductive health.

I'm scared because I'm never held this power before.

Wanting to go about this the proper way, I met with my MD to discus FAM and getting off the Pill (or really to tell her that I had gotten off the Pill). Thankfully she is supportive. She agreed that it certainly can't hurt and she even seemed excited to see how my body would react to the Metformin without the Pill. I've been encouraged to take a multivitamin and she even said she wasn't concerned about my weight (score!). 

So more than anything, I'm excited... So excited that I woke up at 3:45 and, in a half stupor, started taking my temperature this morning. The hubs had to tell me to put it away and go back to sleep, ha.
