Default Interesting

This is all so interesting! I just had my fourth (and last) daughter on Feb 26th this year. I finally got pregnant with Grace after being treated with Metformin which helped me to start ovulating again. I have also been treated for bipolar 2 for about two years. What I find interesting is that I still had mood swings while pregant, but over-all felt much better than I have in a while. Now that I am 3 months post partum I feel terrible again. Tired, depressed and growing facial hair. :-( ...sigh. I am taking small doses of Paxil and Lamictal, and occasionally Ambien to help me sleep. I can't handle much more than the smallest doses of medication without terrible side effects, and often times I have to break those in half. I am really curious about the relationship between bipolar and PCOS. I just came across this tonight so I have alot of reading to do!

Thanks to all for sharing, it is so helpful!
