Well I'm back from the lake. We had wonderful weather and really enjoyed ourselves. I forgot my thermometer at home so I didn't temp Friday-Monday and started again today. I did do an OPK test every day I was away and still haven't gotten a positive. I've had watery or egg-white cm for a few days now but today it seems to be gone.
I've been doing some soul searching and have decided that if I don't get pregnant this cycle I will be taking a break from TTC. Not a long break but at least 3 months. I've decided to go back on birth control and lose another 45 lbs. This will put me at the weight I was when I got pregnant with Savannah. I'd really like to see if getting back to the weight I was (plus staying on the Metformin for my insulin resistance and the Synthroid for my thyroid) will help me to start ovulating on my own again. I'm going to see my ObGyn tomorrow and will be discussing this with her and asking for a prescription for birth control.
So I am hoping to be back to TTC by October or November if we take a break. I figure the birth control might help with some of my PCOS symptoms and I have heard a lot of women have had success getting pregnant after being on birth control for a few months.
I have gained a lot of the weight I had lost at the beginning of the year back since I started TTC and would like to be healthier. It makes me sad to put TTC on hold since I do want a baby so badly. I keep hearing how much diet and exercise can help with PCOS and TTC odds so I would like to give it a shot. I don't want to use up all my Clomid chances because I wasn't willing to stop and try losing some more weight first.
Anyway I just wanted to update. I'm back to temping and doing the OPKs at home and we're baby dancing alot too lol. We try for every other day but don't always stick to that. I also plan to have Alex's sperm checked after I go off birth control too just to rule out any issues on his end.
I hope everyone has a great week!
Hugs!
