Last birth control pill yesterday and I am glad. Woke up in the middle of the night Monday and got up and watched TV for about an hour. Nerves were jumping in foot again. DH says its nerves from hormones, and I reminded him that it had started before I started the pills, but it still could be hormones. I've heard that you can have perimenopause up to 10 years before you actually start menopause. Isn't that a happy thought? Not that my symptoms are menopause symptoms really, but I suppose it could all be related. So paranoid. And I'll be loaded with even more hormones in a couple of days. Look out!

I have my first ultrasound and E2 (bloodwork to determine estrogen levels) tomorrow at 7:45A--have to get up earlier. It's not easy for me to do that. I got up early once about 3 weeks ago to walk, and it hasn't happened since. We really need a new mattress; I have fantasies that when we get one, I'll spring out of bed at 6:20 every morning raring to go. Not likely...
