Got some blood tests done and there's more to come once the meds start working and I'm having periods and stuff
OMG, good luck! I wish you the blessings of my fertility on you.
She wants me to lose 50 lbs though lol
It's not necessary, but lowers the risk of issues during pregnancy
What would that bring you down to, if I may please ask?
And in a few weeks she wants to check for blockages in my Fallopian tubes. She's pretty sure my PCOS is the problem but wants to check for other issues
Oh that would bring me to 160
Though apparently for my height o should weigh 140 HAH
But everyone in my family is uh...big boned lol
I'm not obese, though I'm def overweight
A lot of that is the PCOS though. I put on a lot of weight when I hit puberty and it started being an issue
Oh yeah, I can see that. I'm 5'2" so. And, yes, losing weight like that will greatly reduce your chance of stuff like gestational diabetes and hypertension and whatnot.
And PCOS will be a big challenge on that, so definitely good luck!
Which I get! I'm just not sure how doable it is
Thank you, I appreciate that
My goal is to cut down on carbs and switch to a diet similar to the diabetes one
But I have a friend with PCOS who's been surprise!pregnant twice until she got her tubes tied. In one case, she didn't even know she was pregnant until she was in labor.
Ohhh my goodness that is insane
Yeah I don't even have periods if I'm not on meds so the chances of me actually ovulating are really low lol
Thank you!
Well. With her cycles irregular to nonexistent, and being overweight, and when they did an ultrasound, all they could see were some cysts. The baby was hiding behind them.
It really was. But I hope that makes you optimistic because it definitely can happen!
I totally support you starting the diabetic diet, though! One thing I remember seeing back when I was expecting is that, if you're trying to get pregnant, it kinda helps to act like you are.
Doing things like eating healthily, getting regular moderate exercise, avoiding toxins, taking vitamins, etc., etc.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna try to do. Then I won't have to change everything when it does happen
Baby steps to baby steps, y/y?
And hopefully with actual baby steps as a result
Praying for you! I'll put in a word to Dite. Try for Bastet too. Just in case.
