One more...

Today I am adding yet another pill into the mix. It is called Provera & I am to take 10mg 2 x's daily. Luckily I will only be taking it for 7 days. It is given to "kick start" my period & to prevent abnormal growth of the uterine lining in women taking estrogen - which I have been on for 7 weeks now.

I will discontinue the Estrogen & the Provera on Feb 20th & should get my period 3-7 days after. I have been warned by the NP that this will probably be the worst & heaviest period of my life & I should be prepared for god-awful cramps. NICE - I am leaving on Feb 25th for a 4 day weekend on the beach in Florida so I'm sure AF will show up as soon as I put on my swimsuit! Hopefully it isn't too debilitating!? Ugh - I can hardly wait...

Crossing my fingers that this will be the last period I have for the year 2011!

Crossing my fingers and toes - I can't do my eyes. :-)

A beach weekend though! Sounds like so much fun, and I'm hoping that you're able to enjoy it!
