Getting Pregnant 🤰🏼 or Getting Fit 💪🏼

Here’s the deal. We’ve been TTC for about 16 months now. After the first 9 months I learned I wasn’t ovulating, then came 5 months of clomid and femara ending in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Now, I’ve been on a medication break until my reproductive endocrinology appointment in July. The past 16 months has been brutal. The depression and anxiety with infertility is so real.

I’ve spent the past year hating my body. I’ve hated it not only because of infertility, but the skin breakouts that come with my inconsistent hormones. I’ve hated my body because of the extra 10 pounds I’ve gained. I’ve hated it for letting me down when everyone around me is achieving their dreams of starting a family. I can’t live this way any more.

I’m taking back control. I’m a teacher, so I’m off work for the summer. Im dedicating this summer to getting fit. Obviously I want to have a baby more than anything, but I’ve come to learn that I can’t control my fertility. I can control my fitness. Here’s to spending this summer cutting back on processed foods, doing some real workouts, and (hopefully) feeling better about myself.

Hope and love to you all to achieve your goals for the summer too!
