A Drive By Post About My Body


  1. Mostly I've been sleeping better, as in not being awake for long stretches of time in the middle of the night.  Mostly this relies on a regular rotation of drugs (lunesta, unisom, the occasional xanax).
  2. I seem to recall reading something that said a woman's antral follicle count translates to years until menopause, which would mean I would hit menopause in the next few years.  In the meantime, my cycles are wonky.
  3. But just like the good old days of fertility treatment I can rely on getting my period 2.5 days after my last prometrium pill.
  4. I officially weigh more than I have in my adult life, outside of pregnancy, and I'm not particularly happy about it.
  5. I have also made an effort to MOVE more, eat more green things and less junk, and it resulted in gaining 3-4 more pounds.  Thyroid problem?
And now I have to prep for class, which is taking too much brain power because Tiny Boy didn't go to bed, and then I didn't go to bed, and then he was awake half the night coughing, so so was I.

  1. Could you be gaining muscle?

  2. Possibly thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and am medicated for it. Sadly, I still weigh more than I have, either. AND my cycles are wonky.

  3. I doubt I'm gaining muscle, as I've been in better shape in my life and weighed much less...
