Hi everyone! My name is Amy and I am 22 years old. I've been married two years this December and my husband and I have been having talks of wanting to try to conceive our first. I was taking Ortho Evra (the Bc patch) and took my last patch off early in October. Had a period/withdrawal bleed(?) shortly after and have been using opks frequently since. I never had a positive opk and Glow says I'll start af later this week. Maybe I didn't ovulate? Is that common after stopping Bc? Also, I have recently started a new job as a new nurse (in July) but have been on nightshift since mid October. I have gained twenty pounds since July, bringing me up to about 207lb. This is the heaviest I've ever been. I don't eat as healthy as I should because I am exhausted all the time. I never feel like cooking. I just want something quick and simple and filling. I'm becoming more depressed, my clothes aren't fitting anymore. I don't leave my apartment unless I absolutely have to (work/church/shopping) I am embarrassed to go out in public, to be seen. I feel awful 24/7. We have a gym at our apartment, but just the thought of going makes me want to take a 12 hour nap! Anywho. I have no friends where I live (we moved to a new city/state) and I just want to become healthy and feel beautiful again before we have a child. Does anyone have advice/meal plans/exercise routines they can share? Anyone in a similar boat willing to share their story and possibly become friends? Any words right now would be nice. Thanks for listening to this rant. Baby dust to all ✨
