Mental and Physical Health During TTC

My husband and I are fast approaching our second year of ttc. It's been an emotional journey, to say the least.

I've struggled the most with how little I feel in control of my body. Being two ridiculously motivated individuals, whenever we set our sights on something, we make it happen and keep kicking its ass!

Recently, I've been making some changes to my diet because...

1. It's a smart thing to do in the first place.

2. I needed to feel like I was in control of something.

3. I increased my metformin dose to 1500mg, and to avoid not living on a toilet all day, I knew there were some foods that I had to stray from.

4. Maybe it will help with all the other lady stuff I've got going on.

My husband has followed suit, making some changes to his own diet, which I never thought I'd see.

The two of us have been talking a lot more about where we are emotionally. I don't think we were able to vocalize these thoughts in the first year, which felt so terribly lonely.

We love our life together and have also decided to take advantage of our time and flexibility as a family of two. We are reevaluating how we spend our time; trying to prioritize time together, and make more time for our friends. We are even considering relocating to fulfill our combined career goals.

After being in what felt like such a dark place for so long, it feels so refreshing to have a bit of optimism. Hopefully, he and I can work together to keep this outlook, because I know there will be days when it is not going to be easy to keep.

Take care of yourselves, ladies ❤️
