Aunt Flow came again. It was maddening! I felt discouraged,
upset and pissed off. We spend a lot of money, time and energy towards this
goal and it keeps not working! I know it’s only been two tries but that is over
$2,000 wasted. Not only is it the money, it is the emotional exhaustion that
comes along with it. All we think about is the maybe baby, our lives go on
hold.
I was a mess with my emotions this time. One minute I wanted
to throw in the towel and never try again and the next I was ready to jump back
on the horse. This trying for a baby makes one crazy!
But the decision was made for me by my doctors, we will be
taking a few months off.
In March I have my appointment with the thyroid
specialist and in April my MRI. All my blood work finally came back—I am low on
Vitamin D, Iron levels are low and one of my thyroid test came back high.
Normal range is under 9 and I was at 80. From what I can find online that
number is pointing towards Hashimoto's Disease. Most people with thyroid
problems have this disease so I am confident this doctor can have been feeling
wonderful soon!
My symptoms as of
right now are minimal. I feel good most days—minor joint pain, some insomnia and
hair loss. Some days I am full of motivation, other days it’s a struggle to get
off the couch. I feel best when I work out.
Since we are taking a few months off I have decided to go
back on my 1,200 calorie diet. I am sick of being upset about my body, it’s
time to do something!
We filed our taxes, first time ever filing married!! We
ended up owing—because of a mistake Duste made on her W4 and because of the
Affordable Healthcare credits I received. Hopefully next year will be better!
