Things are moving along

Is he not the cutest little kitten you have ever seen?  Holy Smokes aka Little Buddy is 4 weeks old now.  He purrs non stop and is just the sweetest, most adorable baby in the universe.  I love fostering kittens......except I am getting super attached to this little guy.  It's hard not to.  He also does face nuzzles (rubs his face on your chin/face) like our cat Raven does.  It's just so sweet.

So I had my cycle day 3 ultrasound on Thursday and boy was I shocked with the results.  Everything was normal, no cysts even on my ovaries (I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries back in 2002), but you can have the PCOS without having cysts on your ovaries and I have a lot of other symptoms.  So it wasn't the 1st Dr that I saw it was a different one as my Dr wasn't in.  She started me on Clomid to help me release more eggs when I ovulate.  Scheduled a follow up ultrasound on Day 12 which is next saturday to see how I responded to the Clomid.  They want to do Artificial Insemination this cycle.  I go tomorrow for the HSG where they inject a dye into my uterus and fallopian tubes to make sure I don't have any blockages or anything.  I am not looking forward to it, I've heard it's extremely painful and I have very little pain tolerance.  I am supposed to take Advil about 1/2 hour before I go in so we will see how that goes.  I never in a million years was expected things to move so fast fertility wise.  I have been doing tons of research and with my age the IUI only has a 7% success rate......so fingers crossed I will be one of the 7% that gets lucky and has success.  Although my manager is trying to get pregnant too and we can't both be out at the same time on maternity leave so if it takes a month or two for it to work. I am okay with that.

As for the bipolar, I have been reading up a lot on the medications I am on and Geodon has been known to cause tetragenic effects in rat newborns, so I called my psychiatrist and we are weaning me off of it over a few week period.  I am already weaning off the Topomax for my migraines, have one more week then I will be off of it.  Yes, it's not fun having migraines every day, but I don't want to risk having issues with the baby.  I have researched the other medications and they have low risks (no more than normal people) of birth defects and since I am a very ugly person off meds and it nearly cost me my marriage and cost me declaring bankruptcy the last time I was off my meds we have decided that I will stay on my medications while pregnant.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
