Another step towards baby Pickett

Today I bought prenatal vitamins as another step toward ttc. I am excited and hope in a couple months when I see RE my numbers look good and my weight is down enough....

Fertility specialist called!

I have an appt with Sher Institute on 1/5/16. I could have gotten in earlier but I want my husband there. I am so excited but nervous mostly nervous of being turned away due to cost, or other factors.  My goal start on vitamins/and lose weight ....as much as possible. Will update!

Doc B Appt

Hello, its been a little bit mostly because I was depressed I never ovulated last cycle and unfortunately didnt get a natural period either. On 10/8/15 I saw Dr. B for a pap. We talked about ttc again and she made a referral to Sher Institute in Peoria IL. I am excited but nervous.  Before that though...I am getting another ultrasound of my uterus to see if I have anymore polyps. If so that will need to be cleared up. I will try to keep this updated.  Hoping to lose 25 pds by first Sher Appointment so that isn't another issue they can throw in my face. ..

CD 26 ovulation prediction

Ovusense says today I'm suppose to ovulate. Last time we baby danced was Sunday. I hope we didn't miss the window! UPDATE:*: I NEVER DID OVULATE AND HAD TO TAKE PROVERA TO INDUCE PERIOD ON 10/9/15

CD 23 & WHOLE30

So, with my birthday Tuesday my daughter and husband insisted we celebrate with food and cake....cuz that's the American thing to do! So I gave in...I didnt want to disappoint my family. Today also marks cycle day 23 & still no positive ovulation message. I will keep going and am meal prepping today for next week.  I deff felt good last week and am a little upset with myself but am looking forward to more clean eating next week and exercise to jump the weight loss a little....

Whole30 Day 1

Today is Day 1 of my whole30 journey:
Luckily I have been busy at work to worry to much about what I "can't have".
For breakfast I had a nut mixture with raspberries and black grapes.
For lunch I had a chicken, spinach and avocado salad and an apple
and for snack I had a pear.
Dinner is chicken breast (seasoned) and mixed roasted vegetables.
I know that this evening will be hard to stay focused. I have a few plans for when my mind starts to drift and I go into crazy mad woman mode. I will take a walk, read a book, drink some water, go outside and enjoy the sun... I will eat a snack whole30 approved and be satisfied! I will get through it!!

Whole30 starts 8/31/15

I'll do anything to have a baby! I have always been aware of my desire to be a mother. And at 14 I felt that chance was ripped away from me. I never really put my all into conceiveing with my husband because I never truly believed it could happen. Now, as I come upon my 27th birthday I've realized I am not getting any younger and I am willing to do what it takes to have a pregnancy a healthy and beautiful pregnancy. .. I've heard amazing results from ladies who have lost weight and started eating healthy and conceived naturally.  So I'm giving it a whole heartly try with Whole30! Its worth a try plus it will at least make me feel better and healthier which is half the battle! I am grateful my husband is always with me for the ride!
