.Too much information? Perhaps.

If you have been reading this blog from the very beginning or know me personally then you may remember the "woman issues" that I had before Amelia was born. For those not in the know, before conceiving Amelia I was diagnosed with PCOS {polycystic ovarian syndrome} and was told that it would be very very difficult to have a child without a combination of the drug Clomid and an IUI. At the time I found that answer less than satisfactory and did much research on the use of acupuncture to treat infertility. I decided to give that a go and within a single month of once weekly sessions I was pregnant and the rest is history.
I now believe that I was wrongly diagnosed with PCOS {I showed many of the typical signs, the biggest of which was a lack of menstrual cycle for 5 months in a row and a slowed metabolism}. I am of course no doctor but my own theory is that the cycle chaos was due to my body getting back to *normal* after years of hormone-based birth control. Because of breast feeding and this self diagnosis I have not taken any hormone-based drugs this year and guess what? I am officially on a textbook perfect 28 day cycle!
Okay, that's exciting to me but maybe you're not getting the reasons? Cheyenne & I would like to start trying for another child in the next year or so and this development is much more encouraging and hopeful than it was the last time around. I may still go do acupuncture - but that's mostly because I just really like it and find it very relaxing which is always nice.
So cheers to a healthy year!
