My migraines stopped immediately! Of course, now that I'm pregnant, the hormones have kicked them into high gear. But at least I know that they are hormonal, which no doctor ever suggested. Try going off BC for a couple of months and see how you do. Hope it works for you!

Then again, most people who live in areas that get snow wouldn't be impressed with what we get either. On the other hand, I grew up in Florida, so I totally got why the snow was so exciting. In fact, it made me laugh out loud. On one hand, as someone who lives in Nebraska, no I wasn’t impressed with your snow story.

What the study authors did was data-mine women's health data, and found a statistically significant correlation of pill use for 15+ years and reduced ovarian cancer vs. women who never took an oral contraceptive prior to age 75. You can't really establish causation through that approach. There could be other factors that lead to the correlation. For example, women who are on the pill are more likely to have improved socioeconomic status; health insurance; and are more likely to have annual checkups, which could in turn implicate a variety of other factors relating to whether ovarian cancer is likely to strike. Further, anyone with a family history of breast cancer should be cautious about staying on the pill because a certain percentage of breast cancers are estrogen-dependent (that is, estrogen helps them grow, especially in the early stages). Finally, have you ever considered using the Paraguard IUD instead of the pill? It is copper-based, not hormonal-based, which might help your migraines. Anne: take that study with a grain of salt.

I haven't had one in almost 4 years now. Of course, I didn't go back on the pill after my son was born. If you have bad migraines (and I did), you may give it a try.

My 3rd grader's bus comes at 6:35, travels all over our neighborhood, to the elementary school, then finally to the intermediate school, arriving shortly before the bell rings at 7:45. The route is less than five miles from our house, so I wake him at 6:30, he jumps in my warm bed while I get the 7th grader out the door to his bus (one hour in traffic to Riverchase Middle School - less than 9 miles from our home!!!). After drinking cereal and milk from a decorative milkshake glass (thrift store) and watching Spongebob while I warm his boxers, socks and entire outfit with the iron, we leave at 7:25 to arrive at 7:40 to his school. Just wondering how long it takes you to get everyone out and about. Watch out for the icy roads tonight in B'ham. Maybe Upward Basketball won't be cancelled again this weekend.
