On February 21, 2015. I had started my relationship with my husband at 196, the lowest I had been in my adult life. After a few months I noticed the pounds were starting to flock to me like no one's business. Through the years we have both gained more than 100 pounds since being together. Last year we decided to eat mostly organic foods and prepared the majority of our meals. He doesn't like to weigh himself so neither of us know how big he was at the time last year. All I know is once I started eating the organic food, I started seeing some weight loss. I found that eating lunch was part of what made ill, as I have been going through multiple medical issues in the past few years. I have been eating only breakfast and dinner and that helped with some of one of the issues. I then cut out gluten and found that one issue completely vanished after a couple weeks. I have an appointment with my doctor to see if I'm gluten intolerant or if I have Celiac Sprue. I was recently also told by my GYN that it is highly probable that I have endometrios and PCOS and started me on birth control just last month. Despite being told weight gain is probable with the majority of birth control, I am happy to say that has not been an issue for me. I am proud to say that I have lost 53 pounds in a little over a year, as we changed our diet around May of last year. I am now at 267! So excited! I know it's a lot to follow so thank you for reading. This was my ray of positivity today after a negative test. I had missed three days of pills this month and took opks during two of those days and had also bd'd with the hubby during some of those days. The first opk had an almost perfect test line, the next day the test line was weaker so I suspected that it was possible to be pregnant, hence the pregnancy test. But still, I know I still have a ways to go, but I'm 100 pounds away from my true goal, half way there to the goal of getting back down to my original weight from 2011. Had to correct myself lol.

Update: I must admit that I tested too early at approximately 12 dpo. Also, I went back and reread the instructions for the test and found that I used too much urine 😑 My taste buds are way off right now and I got way more emotional yesterday. It felt like everything was coming undone and like I was dealing with too much. So I'm going to stick it out and see if I actually get a period this month. I am on the placebos for my birth control but I've also had break through bleeding since 7/26 because of the three day break. Thank you to everyone's supportive messages. It was definitely a bright start to my day yesterday. Much love to you all and to those ttc, baby dust 💞
