Love that in-law drama 🙄

4.7 pounds down from yesterday?

I know it's just water weight but I'm happy with it!

Gotta put TTC on hold for a month :(

I started a new job today and they required me to get a Hep B booster. Nurse informed me that I have to prevent pregnancy for a month because of it.

On the bright side, I'm gonna take this time to try to lose more weight. So I'm officially back on keto, and this is day 1.

Honestly nothing gives me anxiety like provera

I got the job!

I know I didn't post about interviewing, but I got the job and I'll be joining a medical billing team! All the work I've put in this year is finally paying off!

TMI, again

All spotting is gone. Discharge turned brown and then stopped completely. No period. I don't understand? Like why was I spotting then?

[myttcbeginning]

Help! How do you prepare for a pcos diet. I have to do a complete 180 on my normal diet, and I'm already giving up hope.

Start out small! I always want to start out super restrictive, but I can never keep it up. Gradually build your healthy diet up. Exercise is important too! Anything helps, even walking.

TMI, Cycle Description

I think I'm starting my period? I'm on day 3 of spotting, gradually growing darker and a couple of little clots. It's just a little confusing because I haven't had a natural period in over five years (I've only had withdrawal bleeds from birth control and medroxyprogesterone) so I don't really remember what a natural period felt like (back when I was regular). I'm sure it's a good sign though. I hope.

Someone please explain to me why:

Sexual content was banned on Tumblr yet porn blogs featuring gifs of full-on intercourse keep following me, a TTC blog?

[myttcbeginning]

So I've lost almost 6% of my body weight and my doctor told me we could try clomid again (I didn't finish all of the cycles). What are the chances my body will actually respond this time?

Also, I'm under 250 for the first time in years. But I'm also proud of it! Losing weight is really hard but I'm glad I'm getting it done!

12 pounds down!

A lot more to go though

I ate a lot yesterday, yet I'm still down .2 lbs?

Day 5

I keep waking up way earlier than my alarm, naturally. I mean, it's really not a huge deal because I wake up feeling really good and well-rested (normally I wake up like death after multiple snoozes). At least it's giving me a chance for a quick morning workout before showering.

Lately I've been feeling like I need to be doing something on my down time, and just playing on my phone doesn't cut it. Exercising works, playing flute works, cleaning and laundry works. Watching TV does not, unless my husband is there watching it with me.

I'm excited to see what else is in store for me!

Day 4

Still high energy! Finally had to motivation to do A LOT of laundry and exercise for a whole hour last night!

I think I'm starting to love exercising as much as I did before the thyroid issue (I loved the way I felt after). It's really nice to not be counting the hours before I can go to sleep again.
