Hormones are all kinds of jacked up

I haven’t been able to go through my vacation pictures. I refuse to go through them until I go through my wedding pictures otherwise I think I will NEVER go through my wedding pictures! I’ve got to let the photographer know which ones I want ordered ASAP. I’ve been a slacker in that area of my life.
I guess the biggest news right now is that Gene and I decided for me to stop taking my BC pill. I stopped about a week or so before our honeymoon and I was doing fine but the last 3 days or so I’ve been feeling really odd. Having a lot of period symptoms like bloating, stomach cramps and low back pain. I’ve had some pretty bad headaches and I slept from 7:30 PM to 5:30 AM yesterday. I guess the hormones in my body are all out of whack since I stopped taking the pill so I am really hoping my body gets itself in check soon and goes back to normal. So anyway, I am excited knowing that sometime in the [hopefully] near future we may be making babies! Hah. We aren’t going to “chart” or really plan anything. Just see where fate lands us.
I took Astro to the vet after work yesterday because his nose is all flakey and cracked. He’s been licking it constantly and now the front skin above his lip is all raw and gross. They gave me some prednisone and I gave him one yesterday evening after they ate dinner. Apparently last night he peed on the floor twice and then this morning I was startled awake by the sound of him peeing on the floor next to my bed. I googled prednisone for dogs and found that loss of bladder control is a side affect. Ugh. No more of that stuff for him! Going to keep an eye on his nose and hopefully it will get better. Otherwise he will go back to the vet and we can try something else.
Hormones are a bitch. I remember when I finally had to go off of my birth control (because I had to try about five different kinds before my doctor told me that I couldn’t BE on B.C. due to the side effects that were so bad with me)… my hormones were all wacky for a while. Here’s to hoping you get back to normal soonsoonsoon!
