Howdy!

Today is the day I have finally made it up to 2000mg of Metiformn. 

YAY!
(said no one ever)

I am deff going to be asking for the extended release version.
Hopefully that wont mess me up so bad.

Here's the TMI down low:
-This is a "shitty" drug. Eating certain foods can make you camp out  near a potty and be prepared for a volcanic eruption. (sweats, shaking, & excruciating pain often occur.)
-They recommend a Low Carb Diet. Even when you think your doing good, your body seems to laugh at you and makes you refer to the section before this. Then you wrack your brain trying to figure out exactly what you ate for this to happen to you again.
-I pretty much feel nauseous all day every day.

Somethings I need to try & remember:
-Drink plenty more water. I know I am not getting enough.
-Stick with meat, fruit, veggies, and dairy. I should be fine.
-Never let a bathroom out of my sight. Just in case.
-Carry smelly goods in my purse for the same reason. LOL

Other then the shit time. Things have been ok. I have been waiting on a cycle to come around but good ole aunt flow hasn't shown her ugly face yet... I am currently taking 10mg of provera for 10 days to induce her but no signs so far... Once she rears her head I can call in and try to schedule my HSG test. 

I just keep telling myself that this is all for my dreams to come true. No matter how tired I get from swallowing a handful of drugs its worth it.

After some poking from the family, Cory and I decided we can go ahead and start making our nursery!
No I am not pregnant yet. Like my cousin says we are putting it out into the world and making it so. I am tried of being scared. Yes, I did it before but it wasn't meant to be either. Plus it gives us copious amounts of more time to get things ready and in place. I want to make sure we have everything we need!!!

We also have names picked out for both genders and if there happens to be more then one lol

I need to get back to losing weight. Its been on the back burner for me. I've gained it all back and it sucks.
I need something that can give me more energy that I can take while doing infertility medications.

Cory & I also decided that once we do conceive and it comes time to find out the gender/s that we will have the doc write it in a card and seal it in a envelope. Then we will have a gender reveal party with everyone we care about and all find out at once!!!! (people from far away will be Skyped in!)

Well that's about it for now!!!

Thanks for letting me bore you to death :)

Product Reviews!

So for over a month now I have been trying a new shampoo/conditioner.

I had the problem of way to much hair falling out and my sensitive skin acting up. 
(think like allergic)

So I got online and did a little research for organic solutions.

I came across Avalon Organics.  

I purchased a 32 oz pump bottle of their Thickening shampoo & conditioner.
(here is a link to the specific SHAMPOO page & CONDITIONER page)



I have had literally 90% less fallout. My hair is softer and it has even been growing!

My Husband even noticed a huge improvement.

So bump you PCOS you will not be making my hair icky!

It did take some getting use to this product because it doesn't lather up and go on like others I have used in the past. I use about 4-5 pumps each to feel like I'm getting the job done. My hair feels like a rats nest and kind of stiff but I got over it and purchased a serum to help it be manageable after I got out of the shower. I wash my hair every day in case that has an effects as well.

Now on to the serum! 

I knew I would need something to help the rats nest mess I have when I get out of the shower. 


Organix Products can be purchased at Walmart!


This stuff smells amazing!

I put a dime size in my hand, warm it up by rubbing my hands together and then run it through my towel dried hair starting at the ends first. This makes it s much easier to brush the tangles out! 

It also protects my hair when I blow dry and straight iron it! 

End result is my hair looking thicker, shiny, and soft!

My husband has scalp issues as in wayyyy too much dandruff so I decided to switch his shampoo/conditioner as well!




He has far less dandruff as well. 
He however doesn't wash his hair every day and I think if he did, it would be gone completely! 

I also purchased the Lavender Shower Gel in hopes that it would get along with my sensitive skin better!


It has!

Overall I am beyond pleased with the purchases I have made and they all work amazing!

I didn't buy the products from their website though. 

I spent less at Lucky Vitamin!



They also threw in some samples of Tom's whitening toothpaste with coupons!


Which I also love! It totally works but I wish it didn't taste like baking soda!

(this is not a paid review, just a happy costumer!)

Hellllllllo 2014!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!

A couple of weeks ago I decided January 1st would be the start of me getting back on track.

I had time to get things out of my system.

This is my 2nd attempt on changing my lifestyle.

It worked last time until I just gave up 100%.

I now know how real insulin resistance is with PCOS and how big the role of food plays in my life.

In 6 months of being off the life that was good for me I quickly put back on 32 pounds!

Holy cow!

I started Metiformin and prenatal vitamins today too.
(which sitting here, my memory returns about how "shitty" it is taking this drug)

2013 was a great year for me! However, I am glad its gone and ready for this new year!

I have weighed in, measured and took my before pictures.

Not feeling good about myself at all.

in case you cant see its 202.6 lbs

On to less humiliating stuff!!!

We finally got a new dishwasher thanks to a friend catching it on a yard sale group!
Its amazing and works better then the one we had even before it broke!
We also got different coffee/end tables! 


My husband (the best one in the whole universe) got me a new ride!

Yesterday I was gifted with a 2012 Chevy Transverse!!!


She wasn't even on the lot to sell yet!!!

I named her Lola and she will be ready for me on Friday! 

I can't wait!!!

I don't think their's any better way to start a new year then in your dream ride do you?

We had a really great holiday season this year and I hope you did too!

We are so blessed and thankful!!!


Love, the silly Muzzy's!
