Updates!

Hello my lovely ladies!  I have updates on my weight loss and TTC so I thought I'd share. 

First, let's start with my weight loss progress.  I have been eating really healthy and working out like a champ.  My diet is basically eating around 1200 calories and making sure all those foods are low glycemic.  The biggest problem I'm having is trying to make sure I eat every 2-3 hours.  I feel like I'm eating sooo much food!  I haven't even drank soda of any sort in over a month.  That is huge for me!  For my first month I lost a total of 18lbs!!!  I'm only 10lbs away from my wedding weight and about 24lbs from my healthy BMI.  My BFF and I started this hardcore Zumba class and it is amazeballs.  I burn about 700cals in one class alone.  So in regards to my health I am moving in the right direction!

Now to TTC.  I am still taking my Metformin and doing OPK's.  I tried so hard to keep myself from OPK's but I just couldn't lol.  Ever since stopping treatment I hadn't been able to get a positive and my periods have been coming very very early.  Well so far this cycle I'm having a lot of EWCM, which is not something I get often.  Last night and today I finally got a positive OPK!!  So of course we are really giving it the old college try this cycle.

I'm trying to give myself a break from always thinking about TTC, but I don't think that is possible when it's something you want so very badly.  I can't help but fantasize if I were to actually get a natural BFP this cycle it would be perfectly timed with Mother's Day.  I'm flying in to see my parents on Mother's Day and E will be spending that day with his mom too here at home.  I imagined a scenario where when I get to my parent's house we could casually skype with his parent's when he is at their house.  At the same time we could present our mother's with a gift for Mother's day that would announce we are pregnant.  That would be a dream come true.  Trying not to get my hopes up and realize my chances of conceiving naturally are slim to none. 

Oh also, I requested all my testing records from that 2nd RE I went to.  It was like pulling teeth to get them to give me my own health records, but they should be here any day.  I'm so worried there will be bad news in there like my egg quality is bad or something.  I could use any prayers of success with this cycle or just that my records look good if you have any prayers to spare.

Love you all!!
