I decided that day one would be my first full day of AF. So even though yesterday could have been considered cycle day 1 - it was after 6:30pm and that just seemed too late in the day.
I have been on the birth control NuvaRing since 6 week postpartum with my first little one. So it's been all of 6 years that I've been using it. I've not had any issues with it. It was easy and effective so I just continued to use it all through out this time. I highly recommend women at least give it a try.
This past Wednesday (June 13, 2012) was when my NuvaRing was removed and will be left out for the first time!! So exciting!
As I posted earlier, I was "getting serious" about this baby making thing and wanted to get my body and health into check. Here's an update on that:
*I have been drinking a lot more water - but have slipped up and had a few sips of Coke here and there, baby steps...
*I did my first try at Once A Month Cooking and used a whole foods recipe menu. So eating healthier lately, trying to make better choice.
*Exercise - I haven't had any specific exercise sessions, but I have been quite active.
*I started my prenatal vitamins and continue to take Juice Plus twice a day
*I also started using a Shea Butter Belly Lotion already too. Doesn't hurt to start too early, right??
Already I am hitting the potty a lot more from all the extra water and fluids. And usually I don't have problems with headaches, but lately those have been hitting me. I'm sure it's caffeine withdrawal and also my hormones shifting from going off the birth control.
I already know this cycle is going to go by so slow!!! I'm ready for this AF to be over so I can start the count down to Ovulation!!!
