Was thinking on keeping an online tab of the pills taken and the side effects (if any) that I am having on this journey of mine. So here’s to Day 1 of Norethisterone and Metformin for today. I hope this time round something will happen.

Kinda scary reading up on the side effects for just 5mg of  this pill. Notice the ones that I have highlighted. >_< Wth! So pardon me if you notice that I have extra facial hairs or that I have a deeper & a manlier voice hahhahaha or when you see me, I’ve doubled my size when you last saw me or when I’m looking kinda lost when you are talking to me.
