Stress and anxiety

Rachael

Hi, everyone! My name is Rachael. I got off birth control in December. I had a cycle from December 12-16, had another cycle from January 19-23, I didn’t have a cycle in February or March, then my cycle came back from April 3-8. I feel like a big issue of mine is that I’m stressed about getting pregnant. I’ve always wanted kids, I don’t know how to calm my anxiety. I was diagnosed with pcos between ages 10-13. I was then diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, adhd, etc., at 14. I had to get off lithium, something I’d been on for 9 years, because it could cause birth defects… my mood has been a mess. I was on birth control for 10 years when I stopped in December. I had weight loss surgery in August 2021, lost 85 pounds and gained like 40 due to stress because I got married in October 2022. Anyways, my cycles have come back, which is AMAZING… but they are still not regular and I have no idea when I’m ovulating even though I’ve been tracking it a few times a day. I got my hormones tested and everything looks normal besides my Testosterone but you know… pcos. I also seem to have reversed my insulin resistance! was only slightly elevated though. Normal range is 2-45, my levels were 46. I’ve been taking vitex berry supplements, a prenatal, vitamin c, zinc, Myo and D Chiro Inositol, maca root, all the stuff I’ve heard about. Anyways, what am I doing wrong? I don’t know what else I could do. Seeing a gynecologist on 5/16 to see if she has suggestions for me. Do y’all have any suggestions on how I can stop stressing or how I can speed things along?
