Good morning ladies 😊

Dh and I are 30 years old and have been ttc #1 for 5 years now. There were some medical issues that hindered our fertility but I had surgery in 2013 to correct them.

I was suspected of having polyps and after surgery it was confirmed I had a handful of polyps, a uterine growth and a cyst. I was having random bleeding no average cycle. I would go months without a cycle thinking I was pregnant and then i would have a very heavy af. I would also spot/bleed for months straight.

I had been seeing doctors since I was 12 for my issue but they always said it was normal and gave me birth control. I've only taken birth control twice and for the longest was 2 weeks.

After surgery in Aug 2013 it took me over a year to normalize my afs. I was still experiencing long cycles (45+ days) and i was spotting in my tww. I was having a 10 day luteal phase and i was bbt charting for over 2 years at this point.

I decided in November of 2014 to stop all the supplements I was on and go natural again. In Jan 2015 I noticed my cycles had become 35 days. In February 2015 I received a positive hpt which grew lighter by each day until I started a very heavy af (that cycle was 63 days long).

My last af started on May 5th (the normal 6 days long) and I'm currently on cd 39. I've been overweight/obese my entire life. I worry what doctors will say if I ever get pregnant. I still do unhealthy things in my life such as drink, smoke and intake caffeine.

I've managed to cut down from over a pack a day to less than 1/2 a pack of American Spirits a day and I drink once at the most a week sometimes I don't drink for months. I'm hoping to quit fully. Before my surgery I reached my highest weight at 280. I was devestated. I began calorie counting and walking and lost 40lbs. I'm back up a little and my current weight is 246.

Some days I'm lighter and always before my af I gain nearly 5 lbs. Those in my life try the method of helping me lose weight by telling me "you'll feel so much better about yourself..." but what they don't realize is it took me 30 years and 10 years of being with my dh to love myself and I'm happy.

So there's my story in a nutshell. I've been spotting today so I'm guessing af is coming soon. Sorry this was so long but thank you for ready. Gl and baby dust to all.
