I went to the Dr today about my Polycystic Ovarian Disorder. He said if I wanted to start meds that I have to stop breastfeeding and I'm just not sure I'm ready. Part of it is because I love cuddling my baby and nursing him. It feels so natural. But the other part of me doesn't want to deal with explaining to other women why I've stopped. I dont produce as much milk as I used to. That's a fact and I have a brand new expensive 300 dollar pump that I want to get some use out of. I plan on using it with my next child as well. And without the meds I can get cysts on my ovaries, surgery, infertility, weight gain (already got it), inablity to lose weight and unable to ovulate. But we've made it this long with out the meds (9 mos pregnancy and 7 mos breastfeeding.) time to throw in the hat? Idk. But it's open for discussion if you've got some ideas or opinions.
Both of my bosses are out sick today. It's almost embarassing the lack of work I'm getting done.
The clients are on a roll today and we're having a lot of behaviors. I can hear them yelling. I'm going to go out there and mediate and have some counseling in my office.
I love long weekends.
