This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

It's Time

I know I've said it before but I REALLY mean it this time. I need to will lose weight. I haven't said this to anyone other than Adam, but I've been having some self esteem issues. I'm really not the type to feel that way and I'm not sure where it's coming from. I guess infertility and the feelings of being a failure (or whatever you want to call it) spill over into other areas. Anyway, it could definitely improve my chances of conceiving, so why haven't I already done it. Well, one - I'm lazy. And two - I love food. A friend from my TTC forum posted a link to "The Caveman Diet" and I bookmarked it. I thought it was really interesting and something I should try. I've got the C25K app downloaded to my phone.  Got some 4 legged companions ready and willing to come for a walk with me. So, I'm thinking I'll start fresh on Monday and give it my all. I'll post daily so I can hold myself accountable.
