I'm sorry its been a while since my last post. I didn't have much news to report. I got off of the Metformin and Yasmin birth control. I got 2 menstral cycles after getting off of the meds and getting on Insulite. Then I missed 2 menstrual cycles in a row. After missing the last cycle I started following an oil regimen my naturopath discussed with me. I followed it strictly and started on the day I should have started my last missed period. I did 2 weeks of flax oil and 2 weeks of evening primrose. I am still using the Insulite System and follwoing the oil regiment and this month I got my period! Yeah.
I hope now that my body is adjusting to life without the prescription meds I will continue to get a more regular cycle.
After stopping the meds I gained about 5 pounds back and my weight loss platued. I was also still having some stomach discomfort. I've been in denial about the possibility of also being intolerant to dairy. I have not cut all cow dairy out of my diet and my skin and discomfort is improving. I plan on sytarting the 28 day elimination diet soon to make sure there are no other food allergies or intolernaces lurking below the surface.
I am on a regular exercise regimine and I will keep you posted about any future advances toward my goal of loosing about 30 more pounds and feeling better.
