A glimpse of hope!

Most women dread the first sign of a menstrual cycle while in my head I hope and pray that a little cramp or change in appetite could be just that! A few days ago I began to have extreme chocolate cravings, which is unusual for me because I am not big on sweets. I woke up this morning and BAM, I was BLESSED (yes I said blessed) with “Aunt Flo” herself! Some of you are probably thinking I am crazy for being excited about her arrival, but this is GREAT progress for us! 4 weeks ago when I first started metformin, I was told “I will see you in 8 weeks unless you get your period”… we were all thinking that I wouldn’t return to NRM for 8 weeks. 4 weeks on MET and I had a “NATURAL” period! By natural of course I mean it wasn’t induced by a medicine aimed for just that. Me getting my period means metformin is doing what the doctor had hoped for and it is benefitting my body. Today, although blustery and cold… the sun is shining and there is warmth in my heart. Today, we see HOPE!
